history

After VfL Drewer had to give up its place on Lasallestrasse, the club received approval to build a new stadium on March 14, 1950. In July 1951 the new venue was opened under the name Harkortstadion . Initially, the stadium did not have paved spectator stands and the playing area for football was too small. These errors were corrected in 1958 and between 1960 and 1962. The main user of the stadium was VfL Drewer, who did not get beyond the national league during its existence .

Between 1962 and 1964, the Marler Jahn Stadium was rebuilt. During this time TSV Marl-Hüls avoided the Gerhard-Jüttner Stadium. In the 1962/63 season the TSV took last place in the first-class Oberliga West , but was able to welcome an average of 6,000 spectators in the Gerhard-Jüttner Stadium. In the following season 1963/64 , TSV Marl-Hüls went to the second-class Regionalliga West and was fourth. Then the club returned to the renovated Jahn Stadium. VfL Drewer merged with SpVg Marl and SG Marl on July 1, 2011 to form FC Marl . The Gerhard Jüttner Stadium was then closed and is currently overgrown.

At the 21st meeting of the Committee for School and Sport of the City of Marl on June 21, 2017, it was decided that the Marl Sly Dogs baseball club, which had previously been located in the nearby Jahn Stadium, would move to the Gerhard Jüttner Stadium on September 1, 2018, as the Jahn Stadium was demolished shall be. On June 29, 2017, the urban planning committee also voted for the project, followed by the main and finance committee on July 4, 2017. On July 6, 2017, the City Council of Marl also approved these plans. The Gerhard-Jüttner-Stadion is to be extensively renovated and converted into a baseball stadium, with two separate spaces planned for juniors / adults and schoolchildren.
