history
The Jahnstadion was built in 1924 and divides the stadium district into north and south with its large playing fields and facilities. In 1921, the Neuss city council originally decided to build today's Jahn Stadium on a large meadow on Hammer Landstrasse in the port area. However, the property commission wanted to protect the cultural landscape there and rejected the application. The Neuss horse racing track can be found on the aforementioned meadow today.
Construction work began in the spring of 1921, but the inflation caused financial difficulties, whereupon the state decreed so-called emergency work (in today's sense such as job creation measures ). This led to the 75,000 m² stadium facility being completed in 1924. The facility includes practice fields for soccer , handball , fistball , hockey and gymnastics . The running and cycling track is 500 m long. In the meantime, the facility has been expanded to include an all-weather basketball court , for which the 1,000-seat multi-purpose grandstand was demolished. Today the stadium has 2,100 seats and 8,000 standing places. The facilities of the Jahnstadion were to be expanded to include a swimming stadium, but this did not happen.
The indoor and field hockey Bundesliga team Schwarz-Weiß Neuss as well as the multiple German tennis champion Blau-Weiss Neuss and the amateur football club DJK Novesia are based in the Jahnstadion . VfR Neuss will move from the Weckhoven district sports facility in the second half of 2018.
