The stadium was built in 1959 as an artificial ice rink on property owned by the city of Hanover for 4,500 spectators. Previously, ice sports were practiced nearby on frozen concrete surfaces or garden areas. In 1978 the ice rink was roofed over. Since then, the ravages of time have gnawed at the building. In the summer of 2003, the lease for the stadium was put out to tender by the city of Hanover, the club itself and the restaurateur Herbert Müllerchen applied. The latter was awarded the contract and then began renovating the stadium.
Major renovations were carried out on the ice rink in the summer of 2004. The roof on the entrance side was enlarged by one section. The penalty bench has been redesigned and the outdated seats have been renewed. Furthermore, the gang was completely renovated.
After Herbert Müllerchen's death in 2011, his daughter Kathrin Müllerchen continued to operate the stadium until the 2014 summer break. Since then, the new operators are the married couple Gerhard Griebler and Kristina Mittrop-Griebler as shareholders of KMG-Network GmbH.
