The replay that became necessary a week later at the same location also went into overtime due to the late goal from Hanoverian Johannes Jakobs for a 3-3 draw in the 88th minute. Erich Meng finally scored the 4: 3 winning goal for Hannover 96 in the 117th minute. A year later, on June 18, 1939, FC Schalke 04 won their fourth with a 9-0 victory over the completely overwhelmed SK Admira Wien Championship; Mecke was not a member of the final team, but was still allowed to call himself German champion, as he played a part in the two games against Wormatia Worms in Group 4 .
