The original final was played on 28 May 1977 at the Niedersachsenstadion in Hanover. The match between Hertha BSC and 1. FC Köln finished 1–1 after extra time, requiring a replay two days later. On 30 May 1977, once again at the Niedersachsenstadion in Hanover, 1. FC Köln won the replay 1–0 to claim their 2nd cup title.

This was the first and only DFB-Pokal final ever to require a replay, as the final rules changed the next season, requiring a penalty shoot-out if the scores remain level following extra time.
