Schedule
The rounds of the 2014–15 competition were scheduled as follows:[3]
- First round: 15–18 August 2014
- Second round: 28–29 October 2014
- Round of 16: 3–4 March 2015

- Semi-finals: 28–29 April 2015
- Final: 30 May 2015 at Olympiastadion, Berlin
Draw
The draws for the different rounds were conducted as following:[4] For the first round, the participating teams were split into two pots. The first pot contained all teams which had qualified through their regional cup competitions, the best four teams of the 3. Liga and the bottom four teams of the 2. Bundesliga. Every team from this pot was drawn to a team from the second pot, which contained all remaining professional teams. The teams from the first pot were set as the home team in the process.
The two-pot scenario was also applied for the second round, with the remaining 3. Liga/amateur teams in the first pot and the remaining professional teams in the other pot. Once one pot was empty, the remaining pairings were drawn from the other pot with the first-drawn team for a match serving as hosts. For the remaining rounds, the draw was conducted from just one pot. Any remaining 3. Liga/amateur team was the home team if drawn against a professional team. In every other case, the first-drawn team served as hosts.
