History
Beginning in 1933, the National Socialists began to use the stadium as a marching area for the Hitler Youth. The 4th Deutsche Kampfspiele, one of the biggest events organized by the Nazi Sports Body, took place in this stadium from 23–29 July 1934.
Following 1963, the stadium was reconditioned multiple times, so that it could meet the requirements for football in the Bundesliga.
