Sasa Kalajdzic looping header in the first half had Dortmund fearing for the worst.
Marco Reus and Jude Bellingham managed to strike after the break to make it 2-1 before Daniel Didavi then fired in an equaliser in the 78th minute.
It fell on the shoulders of 19-year-old Ansgar Knauff to find a late winner with a moment of magic.
He took on two defenders before shimmying onto his right foot for a curling effort just outside the box.
GOAL! 2-3!
