The 1960 DFB-Pokal Final decided the winner of the 1959–60 DFB-Pokal, the 17th season of Germany's knockout football cup competition. It was played on 5 October 1960 at the Rheinstadion in Düsseldorf.[2] Borussia München Gladbach won the match 3–2 against Karlsruher SC, to claim their first cup title.
The DFB-Pokal began with five teams in a single-elimination knockout cup competition. There were a total of two rounds leading up to the final. In the qualification round, all but two teams were given a bye. Teams were drawn against each other, and the winner after 90 minutes would advance. If still tied, 30 minutes of extra time was played. If the score was still level, a replay would take place at the original away team's stadium. If still level after 90 minutes, 30 minutes of extra time was played. If the score was still level, a drawing of lots would decide who would advance to the next round.[3]
