The 1980 close to the Red Stadium soil , the Westfalenhallen and the Westfalenstadion opened hall offers as competition and training venue for national and international competitions 4,500 spectators. Of the 4500 spectator seats, 3000 are designed as seats and 1500 as standing room. The hall has a 200 m running track with six individual running lanes, a 60 m sprint straight with eight lanes in the interior and separate push and jump facilities. Thanks to the retractable and extendable side stands, a 100 m running track can also be offered for training purposes.

The Helmut-Körnig-Halle is part of the Olympic base in Westphalia and is managed by it. The hall is the main training facility of the LG Olympia Dortmund during the winter months .

The hall was named after Helmut Körnig , bronze medalist in the 200 m sprint competition at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam and later managing director of Westfalenhallen Dortmund GmbH.

In addition to being used as an athletics hall, the arena hosted international handball tournaments, international volleyball matches, Bundesliga basketball games, wrestling championship matches and, in 2005, the Taekwondo World Championships .
