history
The Buniamshof is named after an adjacent bastion of the Lübeck bastionary fortifications , built between 1614 and 1618 , in which the neighboring Lübeck open-air theater was built in 1926 .
It also offered space for non-sporting events. For example, the annual celebrations on the occasion of the Kaiser’s birthday during the First World War were moved from the Burgfeld , on which the barracks hospital had now been built, to the Buniamshof. For in this world war Fallen of Lübeck Turnerschaft designed Hans Schwegerle early 1920s, the standing on the Buniamshof Memorial .
On September 13, 1925, the annual fighting games , the predecessor of today's Federal Youth Games , of the Lübeck schools took place on the Buniamshof sports field . The event, attended by around 2000 pupils from all schools in Lübeck, showed how gymnastics and sport have found their way into schools.
The boys and girls especially liked the mass exercises. In columns each department marched in front of the podium and taking in the sounds of the policeman Chapel gymnastic were calisthenics performed.
On the occasion of the 700th anniversary, followed by numerous spectators, the new tethered balloon of the Free and Hanseatic City of Lübeck rose from the Buniamshof on May 30, 1926.
Since the marketplace was too small for the organizers of the NSDAP to hold an event during the election campaign and the Buniamshof, which the city offered as an alternative for this, was too far away, it was then held in Bad Schwartau. On May 26, 1933, the Buniamshof was the scene of the Lübeck book burning .
In 1961 the parade for the tenth anniversary of the Federal Border Guard took place at Buniamshof and in the evening a big tattoo took place in the field .
In 2004 the Buniamshof received a new tartan track , and in 2008 the large main stand from the 1960s was completely renovated. Movement underground caused the grandstand to sag in recent years, and the roof was in danger of collapsing. In order to restore the necessary stability, the floor under the grandstand was replaced in a complex process. The supporting structure of the grandstand roof was also reinforced. The roof received a new covering.
In order to give the stadium more transparency towards the outside, the façade facing Possehlstrasse was given a new glass front, which allows passing cars and cyclists a direct view of the stadium lawn. In addition, the craftsmen installed new benches, carried out extensive painting work on the control tower and brought the telecommunications technology up to date.
The conversion took a total of seven months. The city of Lübeck invested a total of 1,283,000 euros in this. In addition, various foundations contributed 160,000 euros. In doing so, emphasis was placed on making it suitable for the disabled.
The last national athletics championships were held in 2009 at the Buniamshof. The North German Championships for A-Youth and A-Schoolchildren attracted numerous young talents to the venerable athletics stadium at Buniamshof.
