:[[WP:OFFICIAL]] is unequivocal that we do not use names just because they are official. [[WP:UE]] says we use the name that is most common in English-language publications. It is clear from the above that not only is Pokal used in English, it is also used many times more frequently than cup. The policy and usage together clearly show that this move should not happen.

This template must be substituted. Replace {{Requested move ...}} with {{subst:Requested move ...}}.
I added the - very beautiful - picture from the German version, rewrote some of the text, kicked out the first list of winners because of redundancy and made some (minor) modifications to the table. Hope no one minds. --Emilio floris 16:37, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Requested move
The DFB uses "DFB Cup Men" and "DFB Cup" interchangebly on its website. Another spelling is nowhere to be found. Actually when the term "DFB Cup" is used the men's competition is always meant. As the website to be moved has a brief section about the women's competition, too, the name "DFB Cup" in my opinion is preferable as it is more often used than the more clunky term "DFB Cup Men".
Anyway the actual location of the site is in my opinion unacceptable as it is neither the official name nor is the official some arcane n-word term, nobody uses in practice (as with the old 'European Cup' for example). Also all the DFB Cup seasons are listed accordingly (p.e. DFB Cup 2007-08). It is really just confusing at the moment.
