Tanikawa practically put the game to bed in the 77th and Arianna Caruso completed the victory in the 84th.
"We deserved to win today. We were very dominant in the second half, and we certainly deserved it based on our performance throughout the season," Bayern midfielder Linda Dallmann told broadcaster ZDF.
"I'm proud of the team, everyone brought their best today," she added.
Popp was in the starting line-up and played the entire match, after which she was in tears.
With her departure, Wolfsburg are losing the face of the team. Her genuine nature and charisma have lent profile and lustre to a Wolfsburg side that has at times seemed lacklustre.
Team-mate Sophia Klein said: "It's hard to find the right words. But we can be proud. Of course it hurts, we would have liked to have taken something but I'm still proud."
