history
On the site of today's Inselbad Stadium there was originally a spa house that was closed in 1912. Twenty years later, the DJK Paderborn club, founded in 1920, received the site from the city and built the DJK Inselbad Stadium . It was the city's first spectator sports facility. The opening took place on May 28, 1933 in the presence of Paderborn Archbishop Caspar Klein . Two years later the DJK Paderborn was dissolved and the stadium was renamed Wall Stadium . It was used by the SA , the Hitler Youth and the Bund Deutscher Mädel .
After the end of the Second World War , the site was renovated by SC Grün-Weiß Paderborn . As a replacement for the destroyed changing building, the stadium received a wooden barrack from the Niederhagen concentration camp . From 1948 onwards, spectator walls were raised from rubble. With a capacity of around 20,000 people, one of the largest sports facilities in Westphalia was created. From 1950, in addition to SC Grün-Weiß, the DJK Paderborn, which had since been re-established, also used the sports facility, now known as the Inselbad Stadium. The stadium was inaugurated by Archbishop Lorenz Jaeger .
After both Grün-Weiß and the DJK could no longer maintain the Inselbad Stadium, it was sold to the city of Paderborn in 1967. When 1. FC Paderborn was about to move up to the 2. Bundesliga in 1978, plans were made to modernize the stadium, which would have cost the city two million marks. When the team failed, the plans were filed. The Inselbad Stadium was completely renovated in the early 2010s. A large and a small artificial turf field was built inside the old stadium wall. In addition, a floodlight system was installed and noise barriers were erected. The investment volume was 2.5 million euros . The city of Paderborn contributed one million euros to the construction costs.
Events
In the 1950s, the footballers of VfJ 08 Paderborn used the Inselbad Stadium. In 1954, VfJ moved to the Inselbad Stadium for its two home games at the Westphalia Championship. According to a regulation of the Football and Athletics Association of Westphalia , the participating teams had to play their home games in a neutral stadium in the respective district. Later the VfJ then switched entirely to the Inselbad stadium. After the club merged with SV Paderborn to form 1. FC Paderborn in 1969 , the new club switched to the Paderkampfbahn .
On August 19, 1977, the TuS Schloß Neuhaus received the Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in the second round of the DFB Cup . In front of 10,000 spectators, the "lords of the castle" defied the favored Frankfurters 2-2 after extra time . Since there was no penalty shoot-out according to the rules at the time , Schloss Neuhaus had to play for the replay in Frankfurt am Main and lost 4-0 there.
Until the summer of 2008, AFC Paderborn Dolphins played their home American football games in the Inselbad Stadium before the team moved to the Hermann Löns Stadium . In addition, the German youth athletics championships were held in 1956 and the third DJK national sports festival in the Inselbad stadium a year later.
