While the Bundesliga top duo Bayer Leverkusen (against Eintracht Frankfurt) and FC Bayern (at Holstein Kiel) said goodbye to the Christmas break due to rescheduling in the DFB Cup, the ball was still rolling in other stadiums in Germany on Tuesday and Wednesday. In two Games even went the full distance: both Jahn Regensburg (4: 2 nE at Wehen Wiesbaden) as well as the VfL Bochum (5: 2 nE against Mainz 05) prevailed on penalties. Some teams made Christmas sweeter the day before by making it to the round of 16.

The VfB Stuttgart won the test of strength of the Baden-Württemberg rivals against SC Freiburg just 1-0.
