WFV stands for Württembergischer Fußball-Verband (football association of the region Württemberg).

Initially, the final was held at a neutral ground but from 1967 onwards, one of the two finalists received home advantage.

Occasionally, it would however still be held at a neutral venue when the club with the home advantage didn't have a suitable stadium.

[1] Possibly the most remarkable WFV-Cup winner in terms of German Cup appearance was the SC Geislingen in 1984–85.

[2][3] Professional clubs are not permitted to enter the competition, meaning, no teams from the Bundesliga and the 2.
