The Rudolf Harbig Stadium is the venue for the Dynamo Dresden soccer club . The football stadium is located at Lennéstraße 12, in the immediate vicinity of the Great Garden and is named after the athlete Rudolf Harbig . The stadium is owned by the City of Dresden .

capacity

The maximum capacity of the stadium was 38,500 spectators at the time of the GDR Oberliga . The attendance record, however, was (unofficially) 44,000 viewers during the UEFA Cup game on September 24, 1979 between Dynamo Dresden and VfB Stuttgart .

The stadium, which was newly built from 2007 to 2009, currently offers 32,066 spectators in fully covered stands (19,502 seats, 400 of which are for guest fans, and 11,055 standing places, of which 2,000 are for guest fans, as well as 1,170 VIP seats, 18 boxes, 56 wheelchair spaces, 71 press spaces) . However, on a game day of Dynamo Dresden, the stadium is already sold out with fewer than 30,000 tickets sold, as, depending on the security rating, up to 2,700 seats adjacent to the guest sector must remain free as a buffer zone.

history

Sports field 1911

In 1896 a sports facility was first mentioned on what is now the stadium area. It was built on the Güntzwiesen , which was located between the Great Garden and the later so called Blüherpark . The first soccer team to play on Güntzwiesen was the Dresden English Football Club . In 1910, the Dresdensia club founded its football department here.

Ilgen-Kampfbahn (1923-1945)

On December 21, 1922, Privy Councilor Hermann Ilgen began building a stadium, which was inaugurated on May 16, 1923 as the Dresden arena with a capacity of around 24,000 seats. This happened as part of the annual show for German work , play and sport . The facility was named in 1937 after its founder, Ilgen-Kampfbahn , and also served as the home of Dresdensia Dresden .

After the Second World War, the badly damaged area was rebuilt and re-inaugurated on September 23, 1951 under the name Rudolf Harbig Stadium . The namesake Rudolf Harbig was a Dresden athlete who set several world records as a middle-distance runner. He joined the NSDAP in 1937 and held the rank of SA storm man. Since Harbig's biography did not fit into the ideal athlete in the GDR, the name of the sports facility was changed to Dynamo Stadium in the summer of 1971 . The stadium carried this name until 1990. It is still often called that today.

A floodlight system was built in the summer of 1969 and inaugurated on September 3 of the same year with a game between Dynamo Dresden and a GDR team. The construction of the floodlight system was designed by Manfred Mortensen , the architect Günter Schöneberg and the engineer Friedrich Schmidt and set up by PGH Elektrobau Dresden . The system consisted of four individual steel masts that were erected directly on the ground. Because of their appearance, they were also known colloquially as "giraffes". They had to be built on the ground because the stands did not have a canopy on which to attach the floodlights. The structures were 62 meters high, weighed 60.5 tons and had an angle of inclination of 20 degrees. The total of 104 lamps in the system had a total output of 208 kilowatts and a luminosity of initially 570 lux (later 700 lux). In order for a game to take place properly, 450 lux are required. This equipment was the best in Germany at the time.

In the summer of 1979 an electronic display board was set up, which consisted of a total of 4,333 light bulbs and was controlled by a computer. It was first put into operation on June 6, 1979 in a game between Dynamo Dresden and 1. FC Magdeburg .

After the political change in the GDR, the stadium was modernized in order to meet the standards of the DFB and FIFA . This included improving safety for players and referees. The then Bundesliga club Dynamo Dresden raised around two million DM for this. The city of Dresden also had the existing benches replaced by separate seat shells by the summer of 1992 and the playing area equipped with new lawn - the first time since 1956. The renewal of the playground alone cost around 750,000 DM.

On July 17th, 1999, a concert with pop singer Wolfgang Petry took place in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium . This event was attended by around 5000 people. Also in the 1990s, the stadium hosted several congresses of Jehovah's Witnesses .

New stadium construction (2007-2009)

The previous stadium construction was considered obsolete, as only the most necessary renovation measures were carried out after the fall of the Wall . Therefore, on January 6, 2006, the city council decided to enter into negotiations with a bidder for the new stadium. Negotiations were then carried out with HBM Stadion- und Sportstätten GmbH , a subsidiary of BAM Deutschland AG , who placed third out of four participants in the final round of the Dresden City Competition for a new Rudolf Harbig Stadium. This was to build a football stadium with a capacity of 32,296 spectators at the old location . The construction group had already built the new Ostseestadion in Rostock as well as the World Cup stadiums in Gelsenkirchen and Hanover . After several years of discussions, the city council of the state capital Dresden decided on May 18, 2006 with 46 against 20 votes to build the new stadium with the partner HBM Stadien- und Sportstätten GmbH at the current location on Lennéstraße . The regional council Dresden then approved the financing on 28 February, 2007.

In November 2007, the planned start of construction of the new stadium was in danger again. The construction company Hochtief , which was unsuccessful in the tendering process, and its partners had submitted a review request to the procurement chamber in Leipzig. After the club's supporters protested, the company withdrew the application. The HBM stadium and sports venues GmbH demanded due to higher planning costs a day after the withdrawal of Hochtief protest an increase in order volume to two million euros. Due to the delayed start of construction, material and labor costs had increased. On April 17, 2008, after several discussions, the association announced that HBM had waived the cost increase of two million euros and removed this obstacle to the new building.

On May 4, 2007, the contract for the new construction of the Rudolf Harbig Stadium was signed. The contractually agreed construction time was two years. Approval planning for the stadium began in July 2007 and the formal building application was submitted to the City of Dresden in October 2007. The building permit was granted on December 20, 2007. On October 22, 2007, HBM announced that after the game against Wuppertaler SV on November 10, 2007, with preparatory work for the demolition of the stands in the fan and bath curve and the Hornbach stand (blocks F, G, H, I, J, K1 and K2). The day after the Wuppertal game, setting up the construction site began and fans were able to remove the seat shells of the Rudolf Harbig Stadium themselves for a donation. The demolition had actually begun. On November 19, 2007, the demolition officially began with the corresponding large equipment.

During the renovation phase, the pitch was reduced by four meters with the approval of the DFB. During the dismantling of the floodlights in December 2007, a construction worker had a serious accident. The west stand was inaugurated on August 9, 2008 with a friendly match against Dutch first division club Willem II Tilburg . Three days earlier, a delegation from the Organizing Committee for the 2011 Women's World Cup had visited the stadium. Dresden had previously applied as one of eleven cities as a venue and was officially selected for this on September 30, 2008.

The new stadium was opened on September 15, 2009 with a friendly against FC Schalke 04 (final score 1: 2).

Glücksgas-Stadion (2010-2014)

Exterior view of the stadium

On December 10, 2010, it was announced that the naming rights had been sold to the Bavarian energy distribution company Glücksgas and that the stadium would be renamed “Glücksgas stadium”. The naming rights should initially run until 2015. The sale of the naming rights was very controversial among the fans. During the 2011 Women's World Cup, FIFA used the original name “Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion”, since a stadium cannot be named after a sponsor at a World Cup.

The agreed annual rent of 4.75 million euros cannot be raised by the Dynamo Dresden association in the current situation despite the sale of the naming rights and is therefore the subject of negotiations with the city administration. The club refers to the lower average rents of the direct league competitors, while the city criticizes the economic management of the club and calls for reforms. In March 2011 the Dresden city council decided to increase the annual subsidy for the stadium rental by one million euros.

The Dresden Football Museum has also been housed in the stadium since November 2011 . Especially outside of the football season, the stadium is used for home games by the Dresden Monarchs American football team .

From May 21 to 22, 2012, the 2012 DFL fan representative assembly took place in the stadium . After the coaches' benches had meanwhile been moved from the west to the east, they came back to their old location in 2012 for the home game of SG Dynamo Dresden against TSV 1860 Munich. The fans welcomed the decision as there is more space for the block flag culture. At the home game against Energie Cottbus , the old “Kulti” fan bar was reopened after five years of planning. It's right behind the K block.

During the Elbe floods in 2013 , the stadium served as a flood relief center where donations in kind could be made. Since the 2013/14 season, places with a live radio have been available for the visually impaired. There are up to ten seats on the former media stand, which must be reserved before each home game.

Dresden Stadium (2014-2016)

In the summer of 2014, the contract with the energy sales company Glücksgas ended prematurely and the stadium was officially renamed the Dresden Stadium at the beginning of July .

In May 2015 it became known that the city of Dresden is threatened with a back payment in the millions, as bills have not yet been paid due to disputes regarding the construction costs.

DDV Stadium (2016-2018)

On February 25, 2016 it was announced that the DDV media group had acquired the stadium's naming rights by June 30, 2020, and the stadium was renamed DDV-Stadion .

Rudolf Harbig Stadium (since 2018)

In August 2018, Konsum Dresden eG and DREWAG - Stadtwerke Dresden GmbH jointly acquired the naming rights to the stadium until 2021. Until August 31st at 12 noon, fans could vote on the future name of the venue on the Internet. The previous names Dynamo Stadium and Rudolf Harbig Stadium were available . The new (old) name should be announced before the home game on September 1, 2018 against Hamburger SV . After the game was canceled, he was announced at the catch-up game on September 18. 29,512 people took part in the vote, of which 16,036 (54.33 percent) voted for the name Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion , so that the stadium has had this name again since September 18, 2018.

Facts and architecture

Data

The stadium was built as a classic single-tier stadium. It is 195 meters long and 160 meters wide and the whole area has an area of ​​72,000 m². The reinforced concrete building is decorated on the outer side of the main stand with a 2000 m² glass facade. Directly below is the 300 m² fan shop. The roof, made of trapezoidal sheet metal and plastic covering, covers 19,000 m². The seats are mainly yellow, but individual black seats result in the word "DRESDEN" and red and white seats the logo of the Dynamo sports association . There are around 184 floodlights that are almost twice as powerful as the former floodlight construction. The Dresden stadium has two video boards with an area of ​​42 m² each.

blocks

Block plan of the stadium

The stadium has 20 blocks labeled A to T. These are further divided into smaller blocks, making a total of 57 blocks. The blocks D1 to D4 result in the savings bank family block . This is a family-friendly, smoke-free area that is sponsored by the Ostsächsische Sparkasse Dresden . The K-Block consists purely of standing room; 9,055 of the 11,055 standing places are here. The Ultras from Dynamo Dresden have their regular place there and regularly perform choreographies. Since the renovation, there have been VIP boxes on the main grandstand in the east.

In the old Rudolf Harbig Stadium there was also the Badkurve and the Hornbach grandstand. These consisted of the old blocks F to K (K1 and K2). The Hornbach grandstand was only intended as a short-term extension of blocks H and I due to the insufficient capacity at the European Cup match between Dynamo and Ajax Amsterdam on September 15, 1971. The two blocks were then raised by a steel frame. When the demolition work was imminent, fans of the club were able to remove seat shells for € 11.11 per shell.

Giraffes

The stadium's former floodlight masts were called “giraffes”. They were built in 1969 and demolished in late 2007. With a height of 62 meters, they towered over large parts of the Dresden cityscape. The 60.5 tonne white steel structures had an incline of 20 degrees. The same construction stood in the Jena Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld , but it was built five years later and had no incline. Manfred Mortensen, Günter Schöneberg, Friedrich Schmidt and PGH Elektrobau Dresden designed one of the best constructions at the time with 570 to 700 lux . There were 104 lamps, which were distributed on six levels each. There were 26 emitters per "giraffe".

The masts had to give way in 2007 because the city decided to move the stadium by 20 meters. This was necessary in order not to shadow the Georg-Arnhold-Bad . HBM Stadion- und Sportstätten GmbH, the builder of the stadium, initially planned the old construction. Fans wanted to put the floodlights under monument protection and later had plans to receive at least one floodlight. The Dresden city council rejected this, however.

Stone house

Steinhaus (2016), further pictures

The stone house is a two-storey building at the Rudolf Harbig Stadium. For the opening of the stadium in 1923, a simple half-timbered building was erected on Blüherstrasse, which included changing rooms and storage space for sports equipment and equipment. In 1926, the building was completely rebuilt from brick masonry and offered functional rooms, washrooms, changing rooms and offices on approx. 800 square meters of usable space. The stone house was destroyed in February 1945 during the bombing of Dresden . After the end of the war, a two-story stone house with a cellar was built according to plans by the architects Emil Leibold and G. Gebauer, which was opened in 1951. Now around 2000 square meters of usable space were available. In 1976 the roof was re-covered, two years later the sanitary facilities were replaced. The empty stone house was unused after 2009, plans for a new use were not implemented until 2020.

Stadium tour

As in other stadiums, the club as well as various private individuals and institutions offer the opportunity to tour the stadium as part of a guided tour (also thematically oriented).

Stadium booklet

The stadium booklet is the so-called "Dynamo-Kreisel". Since 1997 he has appeared officially at the home games of SG Dynamo Dresden. The approximately 64-page magazine publishes information about the club, the team and the current opponent as well as an interview with players or employees of Dynamo Dresden. The proceeds go entirely to the club's junior performance center. The program was honored by stadionheft.de in cooperation with the “Deutsche Programmammler Vereinigung” (DPV) as the best stadium magazine in the third division in the 2009/2010 season and in the following season . In the 2012/13 season of the 2nd Bundesliga , it was named the second best magazine.
