history

The Eintracht Stadium in Nordhorn was inaugurated on August 8, 1954 as the Bernhard-Niehues-Kampfbahn with a friendly match between Eintracht Nordhorn and Preußen Münster . In front of 3,000 spectators, the home team prevailed 3-2. The area where the stadium was built used to be the sporting home of the VfL Nordhorn workers' sports club and was later used by the Niehues & Dütting company . In the very first season in the new stadium, Eintracht made it into the first-class Oberliga Nord at the time .

The first three home games of the 1955/56 league season saw a total of 40,000 spectators. With 6,733, the highest average attendance in the club's history was achieved in the same season. The audience record for a single game was set on March 31, 1957, when Eintracht reached a 3: 3 against the series champions Hamburger SV in front of 18,000 spectators . Eintracht Nordhorn played from 1955 to 1959 and in the 1961/62 season in the first-class Oberliga Nord. In 1969 a grandstand with 800 roofed seats was built, which was inaugurated with a student international match between Germany and the Netherlands (4: 1).

In the early 1990s, the stadium was given its current name. In 2007 the main grandstand was completed and a floodlight system with 500 lux was built. On February 16, 2007, the first game after the completion of the new facilities took place when Eintracht parted goalless from SV Meppen . The official inauguration followed on March 26, 2007 with a game of the German U-17 national team against Ireland , which the German team won 3-0. The renovation work cost 1.5 million euros . In 2015, Eintracht Nordhorn merged with the Turkish club Nordhorn to form SV Eintracht TV Nordhorn , and after the separation, the club took its old name again.
