The Rödermark ice rink was an ice rink in Rödermark , Ober-Roden district , which was operated as an ice rink between 1979 and 1989 and as a roller skating arena from 1989 to 1992. From 1993 it was used as a large discotheque.
history
The hall was built by two people from Ober-Röder, the property developer Wendelin Stallmayer and building materials dealer Rainer Franz Gotta in a construction period of only 14 weeks for 3.5 million DM , put into operation on December 29, 1979 and officially opened on March 21, 1980 . When it opened, it was the only ice rink in the entire Rhine-Main area . It had a main ice surface the size of an ice hockey rink (approx. 1,800 m²), which was surrounded by 1,890 spectator seats (1,500 standing and 390 seats). The facility also housed an "Iglu" piste bar with an integrated bowling alley in the basement and a "Rutschbahn" restaurant on the ground floor with an area of 250 m². Cooling pipes were laid over a length of 20 kilometers, through which the refrigerant ammonia permanently frozen the artificial ice rink.
In addition to the public traffic, the hall also served numerous events for the ice sports division of Frankfurter Eintracht and the ERC Rödermark . The Hessian championships in figure skating on February 21 and 22, 1981 also took place in the Rödermark ice rink.
After the visitor frequency fell sharply as a result of the construction of municipal ice rinks in Frankfurt am Main , Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg in the vicinity, the hall was foreclosed in 1987 and sole owner Wendelin Stallmayer continued to operate it until 1989. In 1989 he stopped ice skating and leased the hall as a roller skating rink. In August 1992 he sold the entire property to the Frankfurt restaurateur Bruno Faust, who opened the Paramount Park disco on September 30, 1993 after a one-year renovation phase . After its closure in 2002, several discos were housed in the building until most of the site burned down on the night of December 26th to 27th, 2006. The regular disco operation was finally stopped at the beginning of 2009. The hall was demolished shortly after the fire, today only the front masonry structure remains.
Construction
The ice rink was spanned by a glue truss construction, which measured 10 meters on the ridge side and 5 meters in height on the eaves side. The utility, restaurant and team rooms as well as the bowling alley and the staff rooms were created in a masonry building with Poroton bricks and hollow blocks in a mixed construction method, which were stiffened with reinforced concrete solid ceilings. This building was 2 storeys high.
The ice rink was poured with a so-called vacuum concrete, which met the requirements for extreme density, high strength, strong frost resistance and low shrinkage. A total of 20,000 meters of cooling pipes were laid, 2 compressors pumped the cooling liquid through the pipe system in what was then a modern single-circuit compact system.
The hall was provided with a huge glass gable towards the north, which enabled visitors to see the great outdoors on the ice. The aim was that the visitors felt connected to nature on the ice, so to speak, like on a natural ice rink.
Events
Due to the numerous publications of the regional and national press about the first ice rink in the Rhine-Main area, contracts for the upcoming championship games were concluded after brief negotiations with those responsible for the ice hockey department of Eintracht Frankfurt. The first game on January 12, 1980 took place between Frankfurt and GSV Moers.
On March 10, 1980, the newly opened hall was presented on Hessian television in the Sportkalender program by the sports presenter Herbert Kranz.
At the inauguration on March 21, 1980, numerous celebrities appeared on the ice in Ober-Roden: Lothar Emmerich , Wolfgang Fahrian , Conny Jackel , Sabine Ebbing, Birgit Berdux, Peter Schulz, Jürgen-Dieter Rehahn, Alfred Seeger and the ice skater Carmen Hartfiel Ober-Roden.
Marika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Bäumler completed the preparatory training for their Holiday-On-Ice-Revue in 1981 in the ice rink in Rödermark.
On March 2, 1988, a year before the sole owner Wendelin Stallmayer finally ceased ice sports operations after the hall was repurchased due to the permanently deficit business, Rainer Franz Gotta organized the International Ice Gala 1988. Professional stars such as Norbert Schramm , Denise Biellmann , Jozef Sabovčík , Tracey Wainman, Marianne van Bommel, Wayne Deweyert and Cornelia Tesch could be seen on the ice in Ober-Roden . This was the last major event in the Rödermark ice rink.
