history
The venue was opened in 1939 and became the new home of the TuS Helene Essen football club . In his first year on Bäuminghausstraße he made it into the first-class Gauliga Niederrhein and became champion in the promotion season 1940/41 . In the final round of the German soccer championship in 1941 , Essen met in the group stage against VfL Cologne 1899 , Kickers Offenbach and FC Mühlhausen 93 , but missed the semi-finals as third. Although she fell during the Second World War , the TuS Helene welcomed up to 15,000 spectators at the home games.
Towards the end of the war, the stadium was destroyed by 14 aerial bombs, but the damage was repaired in 1945, the year the war ended. The spectator record in the stadium was set on May 11, 1947, when the sports fans Katernberg met Rot-Weiß Oberhausen as part of the Lower Rhine Championship . In front of 30,000 spectators, Oberhausen won 2-0.
The old facility before the renovation served in part as a backdrop for the television film Landauer - The President .
Between November 2013 and July 2014 the plant was converted and expanded for around 3.5 million euros. The grass pitch in the stadium was retained and a synthetic track for athletics was added. There were also two artificial turf fields as well as a floodlight system, a new stadium grandstand and new changing rooms.
