Stuttgart will be aiming to make it seven straight wins in the Bundesliga when they host Hoffenheim on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, will make the trip sitting in sixth position in the table, despite losing two of their last three games.
Serhou Guirassy opened the scoring in the capital to increase his astonishing tally to 14 goals in eight league games so far this season, with late strikes from Silas and Deniz Undav adding further gloss to their side's victory, which kept Sebastian Hoeness's side in second spot.
For a team that only survived relegation by defeating Hamburger SV in a two-legged playoff in June, having also avoided finishing inside the relegation zone by a solitary point at the end of the previous season, this sudden upturn in form represents a remarkable turnaround.
Guirassy is already attracting plenty of attention from elsewhere - with rumours of a £15m release clause existing in his contract making plenty of lips salivate on the continent - but much of the credit belongs to Hoeness, who will be desperate to get one over on his former club on Saturday.
