Hertha Berlin's first DFB-Pokal semifinal berth in 35 years will come against Borussia Dortmund, while Thursday's draw pitted Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen in what has been a historically lopsided matchup.

The semifinals will take place on April 19 and 20, with the final set for May 21 at Berlin's Olympic Stadium.

Berlin still has the chance to play for the trophy at its home ground, even though a formidable Dortmund side stands in its way. But last weekend's 0-0 draw between the two Bundesliga outfits in the German capital should give Hertha the belief it can cause an upset and once again stop a high-flying attack.

Bremen's hopes of reaching its first cup final since 2010 are much more grave. Bayern has won the last 10 of these fixtures, scoring 40 goals to Bremen's 6.
