The Erika-Heß-Eisstadion is the third largest ice rink in Berlin . It was completed in 1967 and is the home of the Berlin ice hockey club FASS Berlin , which has been playing in the colloquially known Erika Hess since 1972 . The hall is named after the former district mayor of Weddingen Erika Heß . The facility, which was initially open on all sides and was used exclusively for ice sports, was converted into a multi-purpose hall in 1982/83.
It is located in the Berlin district of Wedding and is under the administration of the Mitte district . Due to the conceptual design as a multi-purpose hall, other events (figure skating, curling, indoor football, animal shows) take place there.
The ice rink also has a second ice rink outside the stadium, which is open to the public.

Conflict over the demolition of the Deutschlandhalle
After the Deutschlandhalle was demolished , ECC Preussen temporarily moved to the Erika-Heß-Eisstadion in summer 2009. Since the opening of the Charlottenburg ice rink in March 2012, the club has now been at home there.
In the summer of 2009, the Berlin Senate announced in a press release that during the time without a hall in Charlottenburg, ECC Prussia could not only hold its home games in the Erika Hess ice stadium, but also its training sessions in an old hangar at the disused Berlin Tempelhof Airport.
