The EnergieVerbund Arena (until November 2010 Freiberg Arena , also Eisarena Dresden ) is a multi-purpose hall as an ice sports and ball game center in Dresden and the home arena of the Dresden ice lions from the DEL2 .
history
The ice rink on Pieschener Allee , originally built in 1969, was badly damaged during the Elbe floods in 2002 . It also obstructed the drainage of the water masses in the Dresden flood channel of the Ostragehege on the left Elbe . For these reasons, the city of Dresden decided to build a replacement building outside the flood channel using flood aid funds. Additional sports funding from the Free State of Saxony and own funds from the state capital Dresden made it possible to replace the actual arena as well as the construction of a training ice hall and a 3,000 square meter three-field ball game hall between May 2005 and August 2007. The system was built by the Bautzner construction company Hentschke Bau .
The construction costs amounted to around 29.7 million euros. The original design by the Munich architecture firm Schmidt-Schicketanz und Partner only envisaged construction costs of 23.7 million euros. The planned costs could not be adhered to due to rising metal prices and increased security requirements. The naming rights were initially given to the Freiberger Brauhaus brewery company for three years and the sports center was named Freiberger Arena . The hall has been called EnergieVerbund Arena since December 2010.
In February 2012 there was an accident in the ice rink. Over a long period of time, water penetrated through the ceiling through cracks in the roofing and damaged the insulation material and the entire roof structure. In addition, the water got into the interior and dripped into the ice rink. After that, it could only be used to a limited extent for several weeks, as the roof first had to be repaired poorly. The cause of the accident was found to be poor construction. Since the construction company that erected the roof had already filed for bankruptcy earlier, no warranty could be requested and the city of Dresden had to pay for the repairs. Work to repair the roof was completed by October 2012.
concept
The EnergieVerbund Arena building complex consists of the actual arena, which is on the ground floor and determines the entire height of the building, a training ice hall that is arranged across the arena and whose ice surface is slightly smaller than that of the ice arena, a three-field ball game hall on the upper floor above the training ice hall and a 333 meter long outdoor speed skating rink. In the arena there is space for 4,412 spectators (including 2,799 seats and 300 VIP seats) in two surrounding tiers for ice hockey games or other ice events. Together with a necessary television transmission option and two display boards, the arena complies with the 9,000-point plan required by the DEL , so that the Dresden Ice Lions could advance to the top German ice hockey league.
use
The first game in the new ice rink was played on August 15, 2007 as part of the Four Points Cup 2007, in which the Eisbären Berlin drew 3: 3 against HC Energie Karlovy Vary . The first goal scorer in the ice arena was national striker Florian Busch with the 1-0 for the polar bears. The official opening of the entire complex took place from August 31 to September 2, 2007.
The ice arena is the home arena of the Dresden ice lions , which attracted over 100,000 visitors to the 35 home games in the former Freiberg arena in the 2007/08 season . In the playoffs of the same season, the ice arena was sold out several times. For ice hockey games the official capacity is 4,412 spectators, of which 1,028 are standing, 2,799 are sitting and 300 are in VIP seats. In addition to the ice lions, the arena is home to almost 50 clubs and sports departments from ice and ball sports with their training and competition operations. The Federal Base Shorttrack is one of these users .
During the ice skating season, the EnergieVerbund Arena offers daily public ice skating on almost 5,000 m 2 of ice surface. In addition, there is an ice disco every Saturday during the ice skating season. A tunnel connects the training ice rink in the main building with the speed skating rink outside, which is also used for public skating.
In the EnergieVerbund Arena there are ten kiosks as well as the restaurant with sports bar "Auszeit". In addition to sports broadcasts in the sports bar, the restaurant offers a bowling alley, table football and club rooms with catering. In addition, at the end of the 2000s it was once a month the venue for the Dresden sports regulars' table.
