In the summer of 2015, after the contract expired, it was not initially clear whether the name sponsorship would be continued.

history

The hall was opened on January 15, 1966 with a ceremony. From the beginning it was also intended for basketball competitions. The first official basketball championship game is the local derby between the two first division clubs TSV Hagen 1860 and SSV Hagen on October 1, 1966 in the premier season of the men's basketball league . After a national ranking table tennis tournament was held in the hall in the following year, in 1969, aided by the fact that the German Basketball Association (DBB) is based in Hagen, the European Junior Basketball Championship was the first international competition lasting several days in the Ischelandhalle instead. A year later, the first international match of the German men's national basketball team against the national team from the motherland of basketball, the United States, followed in the Ischelandhalle as one of 28 international matches of the DBB men's selection at this location up until 2006. After the SSV men's title win Hagen in the Basketball Bundesliga 1973/74 , the Ischelandhalle 1975 was also the venue for games of the European Championship preliminary round, in which the DBB selection of men, however, missed the qualification for the European Championship finals in Belgrade . This was followed by further European Cup games of SSV Hagen against international teams.

In addition to various sporting galas in the 1970s was twice the German championship in the hall end ballroom dance held as well as professional boxing -Wettkämpfe with René Weller 1983. In basketball Andrew's Cup in December 1988, played the Soviet-Lithuanian teams Žalgiris Kaunas and Statyba Vilnius in the Ischelandhalle with various then current Soviet Olympic champions such as Arvydas Sabonis , Šarūnas Marčiulionis , Rimas Kurtinaitis and Valdemaras Chomičius . In the following season, with Kurtinaitis, Sergejus Jovaiša and Gintaras Krapikas, a noticeable number of Lithuanians played in Hagen and the surrounding area during the opening of the Iron Curtain . After the top-flight return in 1988 TSV Hagen 1860, the two local rivals TSV and SSV merged in 1990 to Brandt Hagen , who is 20 years after the first and only championship win of the SSV back to the final series Basketball League 1993/94 against managed, but Series champion TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen was lost. VfL Eintracht Hagen had only just missed promotion to the 1st handball league in 1992  . Post SV Hagen was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga in 2005 and was promoted to the first men's table tennis Bundesliga eight years later in 2013 as TTC Hagen .

Phoenix sculpture at the Ischelandteich

In December 2003 the first division basketball players von Brandt Hagen went bankrupt; The meanwhile comparatively low capacity of the Ische and the search for an alternative venue ordered by the management of the Bundesliga played a not insignificant role. After the basketball players of Phoenix Hagen, which emerged from BG Hagen, reached the runner-up in the ProA second division in 2008/09 and rose to the top division, the Ischelandhalle was no longer sufficient as a venue for the men's basketball league. Then, following various alternative plans, it was decided to expand the hall from just under 1,800 spectators for basketball games to 3,145 spectators. The expansion took place from February to October 2010 within the scope of a budget of 8.7 million euros. The reopening took place on October 31, 2010 with the championship game between Phoenix Hagen and EnBW Ludwigsburg , which Phoenix won 95:82. In the course of the reopening, the Ischelandhalle was given a new sponsor name and was officially called ENERVIE Arena in the Ischeland Sports Park for five years from 2010 .

In the summer of 2018 the hall was given a new sponsor name. From the 2018/19 season, the teams will play their games in the Krollmann Arena . The Krollmann Gruppe GmbH is the new namesake of the venue. The contract has a term of five years.

Plans for replacement buildings

After the last international men's match in the European Championship qualification took place in 1995, the hall became recognizably too small for the men's basketball league after almost all of Brandt Hagen's competitors played in larger halls. Various plans for replacement buildings were drawn up. Finally, the management withdrew the basketball league Brandt Hagen to Basketball League 2003/04 the game license for the Ischelandhalle that with their lack in size is no longer the highest German men's league met the contemporary requirements, and the professional team had to Dortmund dodge , where you wanted to play in addition to individual games in the Westfalenhalle in the Helmut-Körnig-Halle . The construction of a Sparkasse arena with space for around 5,000 spectators in Hagen was specified and was budgeted at twelve million euros until completion in 2005. But after the main sponsor Brandt gave up the traditional production facility in Hagen , the basketball team also began to falter and did not survive the insufficient number of spectators in Dortmund. Therefore one had to file for bankruptcy during the season in December 2003, which also meant the end of the construction of the Sparkassen-Arena.

After the rise of Phoenix Hagen in 2009, there was therefore no licensable venue in Hagen, so that the club finally set up the tennis hall of a fitness center for the 2009/10 basketball league in order to meet the licensing requirements of the top division. After plans were again made in 2007 for a new building in the immediate vicinity of the Käfig sports field, the decision was finally made in summer 2009 to convert and expand the existing Ischelandhalle. The capacity for basketball games was increased from almost 1,800 spectators to 3,145 spectators, which was only slightly above the minimum size of 3,000 spectators at that time for venues of the first national basketball league. The men's national basketball team also returned to the new, expanded Ischelandhalle for international matches, completing one each in 2011, 2012 and 2014.

In view of the fact that the renovation has only brought the hall to the lower limit of the spectator capacity of venues for the first men's basketball league and that the hall has largely sold out since reopening and is at the limit of its capacity, the current first division basketball team Phoenix is ​​checking Hagen still plans to build a new hall in Hagen.

Trivia

Above the seats in the Ischelandhalle there is also standing room directly under the roof of the hall, which is known as the "hayloft". Because of the central importance of Hagen as the seat of the DBB and the Ischelandhalle as the largest basketball arena in Hagen, the term for basketball fans in Germany is closely associated with the Ischelandhalle.
