The Hermann-Gieseler-Halle is a sports hall in the Stadtfeld Ost district of the city of Magdeburg , Saxony-Anhalt .
location
The Hermann-Gieseler-Halle is located in the southwest of the Stadtfeld Ost district on Wilhelm-Kobelt-Straße . The Magdeburger Ring runs in a north-south direction near the hall . It is also connected to public transport by tram lines 1, 4 and 5 and city bus lines 52 and 55 via the stops "Westringbrücke", "Liebknechtstraße" and "Hermann-Gieseler-Halle". Magdeburg-Sudenburg train station is not far from the sports hall. In addition to various masts and protective bars, there are bicycle parking spaces for 21 bikes in the form of bar parkers and several areas for motor vehicles right next to the hall .
history
The hall at Klaus-Miesner-Platz is the first communal building that was built in the " New Building " style after the First World War . It was originally completed as a cattle market and exhibition hall according to plans by the Magdeburg architects Bruno Taut and Johannes Göderitz in 1922 and was named “Halle Land und Stadt”.
The building consists of a reinforced concrete skeleton structure, which includes eight flat arched arched trusses . The arch trusses have a span of 35 meters and their apex is twelve meters. Due to horizontal struts, the ceiling has a cassette-shaped shape. Originally, the light was let in via a continuous skylight in the apex of the arched trusses and through large glass windows on the front sides. The hall is 75 meters long, 35 meters wide and today has around 2,000 seats.
When the building was converted into a sports hall in 1955, the skylight was removed and windows were added to the long sides. The gable glazing and the entrance area have also been redesigned. As a result of these interventions, the hall's appearance was changed to its disadvantage, both inside and outside. Since the old name was no longer appropriate due to the new use, the SED-dominated city council named the hall after the relatively unknown trade union official Hermann Gieseler , who had died in a work accident in Magdeburg in 1948.
The Hermann-Gieseler-Halle is now a listed building. In 2013 it was decided to completely renovate the hall and convert it into a modern multifunctional hall. The most important modifications are fixed ceiling structures, e.g. for basketball hoops, the renewal of the parquet floor, a complete perimeter circuit, the installation of adequate display technology, TV-compatible lighting, the installation of a weight room and a gymnastics room. Due to the poor structural condition, however, this project was not implemented. Instead, a new replacement building at another location (on Lorenzweg) is being planned.
use
From 1957 until the completion of the Bördelandhalle (today: GETEC Arena ) in 1997, the Hermann-Gieseler-Halle was the venue for the first division handball team SC Magdeburg and was known under the nickname "Hermann-Gieseler-Hölle", since championships and European Cup victories in the hall were won. In addition to the SC Magdeburg, the hall was also used for many international matches. It was the venue for the men's handball world championship in 1958 and the men's handball world championship in 1974 . Since the inauguration of the Bördelandhalle, the Gieselerhalle has been used not only for school sports but also by the 2nd team of SC Magdeburg, the SCM Youngsters , which played in the 2nd handball league until 2011 . Due to a league reform they had to be relegated to the 3rd division . In addition, the Otto Baskets played their ProB home games in the sports hall.
