Earth stadium

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An earth stadium is a type of stadium that is relatively easy to build and does not require extensive structural or engineering structures , because it essentially consists of a dug pit, the sloping walls of which are attached and filled with stands. The inside area of ​​the stadium visible in the example photo is therefore below the surrounding ground level.

Augsburg Rosenaustadion
the largely dilapidated Hohe Warte natural stadium (the main stand is a civil engineering structure)

The Berlin Olympic Stadium and the Olympic Stadium Munich are also half Erdstadien, with the mountains of the area to the Munich Olympics in 1972 by the architectural firm Behnisch artificially created. The Augsburger Rosenaustadion was built after the Second World War on mountains of rubble and rubble, which were shaped into a round stadium. Only the main stand is civil engineering . The Letzigrund in Zurich is also an earth stadium, hence the name Letzi grund .
