That was the result of the draw that took place this Sunday evening in the German Football Museum in Dortmund.
It is certainly an advantage for the Hessians to be able to compete in their home Deutsche Bank Park in front of a sold-out house.
On the other hand, Union will travel to the Main metropolis with a rather mixed feeling: 2-0 (2-0) in the first leg, the eagle carriers inflicted the iron team’s first defeat of the season.

“We would have liked to have had a home game,” said Berlin’s Timo Baumgartl (26) immediately after tonight’s 0-0 draw against Schalke 04. “But we accept it. A quarter-final is there to be won,” the defender concluded confidently.
With the Frankfurter you can of course live very well with the ticket. “We’re happy that we’ve been drawn to a home game,” said sporting director Markus Krösche (42) at the Club website.
“Union Berlin is of course a difficult opponent and an absolute top team”, but Krösche also praised the opponent. “We’re looking forward to the game and want to reach the semi-finals together with our fans.”
With the match between the cup defenders RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund and the clash between the record champions Bayern Munich and the current fourth-placed SC Freiburg, there are two more top games.
In the fourth quarter-final, 1. FC Nürnberg, the last remaining second division team in the competition, will host VfB Stuttgart. The game will be played on April 4th and 5th.
The semi-finals are scheduled to take place on May 2nd and 3rd. On June 3rd, the grand finale will take place as usual in the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
