Overview
- The enlarged trophy is slated to be handed to FC Bayern at their home game against 1. FC Köln on the season’s final matchday, with DFL managing directors Marc Lenz and Steffen Merkel expected to present it.
- The Deutsche Fußball Liga hired a Bremen silver workshop to rebuild the plate after the engraving fields ran out of room for new champions.
- The redesign replaces the old outer ring with a wider band that can accommodate the next 30 title winners.
- The updated plate now measures 56 centimeters across and weighs more than 11 kilograms.
- The trophy, first created in 1949, carries every German champion since 1903, including a double entry for 1922 and a gap for 1904.
