geography

location

The Kassel ice rink was built in the central part of the Südstadt district south of the city center in the Kassel Fulda Niederung on the south-western edge of the Karlsaue . It is not far from the intersection of the street “ Ludwig-Mond- Strasse” - “Am Auestadion” / “ Frankfurter Strasse” at the southern end of Menzelstrasse.

In the immediate vicinity is the Auestadion and a few meters away the large sports hall Auepark .

Transport links

The ice rink can be reached with motorized vehicles from the A 49 (junction “Kassel-Auestadion”). Regardless of which direction you come from on this motorway, after exiting you will come to the motorway feeder "Am Auestadion" and, for major events, leave it by turning right at the third traffic light at the latest in order to head for a parking lot.

The ice rink can also be reached by public transport , because there are tram and bus stops in the immediate vicinity.

history

The Kassel ice rink, designed by Edith and Simon Kimm, was opened on February 19, 1977. Kimm was managing director of Kassel Huskies until 2005, which was still called ESG Kassel when the hall opened.

In 1981 a supraregional meeting of 6,000 trade unionists was held in the building, and in the same year the Federal Garden Show was opened by Hans Eichel with an event in the building.

The building was expanded in 1995/1997 according to plans by the architect Peter Blaschke. The audience capacity increased from 5050 to 6100 spectators. This came to the DEL ascended Kassel Huskies benefit.

A detective novel by the author Rolf Michael from 2017 bears the title Murder in the ice rink: Detective novel from Kassel.
