Hertha Amateurs: the 1992/93 season was shaped by the charge of two teams no one had on their radar at the start. Internationally, Borussia Dortmund thrilled the country and reached the UEFA Cup final. In the DFB Cup, it was Hertha BSC’s amateurs who caused a stir.\n\nThe third-tier Berliners beat VfB Leipzig, then Hannover 96 and 1. FC Nürnberg in the Poststadion, before knocking out Chemnitzer FC 2:1 in the semifinal at the Olympiastadion.
In the final against Bayer Leverkusen the fairy tale ran out; Leverkusen won 1:0 through a late Ulf Kirsten goal.
