In the 1959 football season, the FDGB football cup was played for the eleventh time .
30 district cup finalists, 54 teams from the 2nd GDR league and 14 teams from the 1st GDR league began the cup competition with a qualifying round. In the first main round, the winners met the 14 teams of the GDR Oberliga , the top football class.
The second round was carried out with Vorwärts Rostock and Vorwärts Leipzig as the only remaining district representatives, the 2nd GDR League was only represented by four teams. The SC Chemie Halle and Rotation Babelsberg held up the flag of the 1st GDR League. Six teams from the league had already had to quit, including last year's two cup finalists Einheit Dresden and SC Lok Leipzig .
With the SC Traktor Schwerin (II. GDR League) only a lower class team came under the last eight. There the Mecklenburgers had to admit defeat to Dynamo Berlin 0: 4 at home . In the semifinals, the new champions SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt clearly prevailed 3-0 at Turbine Erfurt, while Dynamo Berlin was only able to defeat Motor Zwickau 2-1 in overtime.
Despite the final victory, Dynamo did not take part in the first ever European Cup Winners' Cup the following year . Instead, runner-up Vorwärts Berlin started there , which the GDR Football Association considered more suitable to represent the republic in European competition.

Course of the game
After no goals were scored in the first edition of the final because of the insurmountable cover rows and the inability of the strikers even after 120 minutes, five goals were scored in the replay within regular time. The fact that there were two equal opponents on the field with the champions Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt and the championship third Dynamo Berlin can be seen from the goal sequence - the Saxons were able to equalize the Berlin lead twice before the Dynamo right-winger Hofmann scored the winning goal from a sharp point Could mark angle in the 67th minute. The game was clearly dominated by the constructive ranks, who this time managed to send their strikers into successful positions. The Berlin strikers in particular had learned their lessons from the first encounter and this time went straight to the opposing goal. The quick 1-0 after a successful combination of several dynamo players, also by Hofmann, suggested that the Berliners would cope better with the difficult snow surface. But after half an hour the Wismut-Elf also proved their stability with their equalizing goal by Tröger, who skilfully played off Heine. A good-class game developed in which the players also knew how to please technically. In the 55th minute, the previously balanced game took a dramatic turn. After a foul by Siegfried Wolf on the Berlin Bley, Dynamo was awarded a penalty, which Schröter converted. As a result, the bismuth player Bringfried Müller blew all the fuses, and he attacked the collective of referees with savage insults. When he was then sent off, the bismuth players continued the game with extreme severity, so that the game threatened to go completely out of joint. Only the equalizer goal by Kaiser with a high flank directly into the Berlin housing brought calmness to the encounter. The Berliners were able to use their numerical superiority and took the lead again two minutes later, which they were able to secure until the final whistle.
