location
The Auestadion is located on the edge of the Weseler Aue and the Auesees . It is about one and a half kilometers as the crow flies northwest of the city center, which is on the other side of federal highway 8 . The Rhine runs about one kilometer south of the facility and the Wesel-Römerwardt airfield lies in between . The access to the stadium is the Auedamm, which runs directly past the facility, and it can also be reached via a dike not approved for motor vehicles .
history
The graveling of the Auesees, which began in 1963, went hand in hand with an increased use of the area west of the B 8 for various activities. A few years earlier, the Römerwardt airfield and a yacht harbor had been built. In addition to developing the Auesees for leisure purposes, the Auestadion was planned as a sports facility and opened in 1990. In the year of the opening, the Weseler Spielverein, previously located in the city center, relocated its soccer team's venue to the new stadium. The Auestadion, however, was also planned for athletics and had a plastic track around the football field. In 2005, an athletics hall was completed on the facility away from the main square. In the summer of 2011 the stadium was modernized and the synthetic track expanded to eight running tracks. In addition, an escape lighting system was installed.
In November 2010, the energy supply company RWE acquired the naming rights for the Auestadion. Since then, the sports facility has been called RWE Auestadion .
use
The Auestadion is the state performance base for athletics and has various sports facilities away from the main square, including the athletics hall and a roller skating rink. It is used by the Weseler TV athletics club and is the venue for various athletics events, some of which are German championships in certain disciplines or competition classes. However, there are also popular sports events, including the annual “Dreiwiesellauf”. The stadium is also the home ground of the Weseler SV soccer club. In September 2006 it hosted the game for 7th place in the 2006 World Cup for people with disabilities . Since the English team stopped playing, France played a friendly against a team from the Lower Rhine region.
