The Yayla-Arena ( Königpalast until the end of 2018 ) is a multi-purpose hall in the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Krefeld . It was built opposite the Rhineland Hall , the previous ice rink , and has been replacing it since December 2004 as the venue for the Krefeld Penguins from the German Ice Hockey League (DEL). In addition, concerts and other sporting events such as boxing or tennis as well as TV recordings take place in the Royal Palace.
history
The construction of a new hall for the primary purpose of use by the Krefeld Penguins has been demanded for a long time by ice hockey fans and those responsible for the club. The Rhineland Hall from the 1930s, the previous home of the penguins, no longer met the requirements of a modern ice rink. With the city of Krefeld's plan to build a multi-purpose arena, a discussion broke out among the population about the purpose of an arena in view of several event arenas in the vicinity, for example the Philipshalle Düsseldorf , the ice sports center Grefrath or the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, as well as the difficult budget situation the city. Another point of discussion was the location of the new arena. Discussions were on the one hand a location in the direct vicinity of the two existing Krefeld ice rinks on Westparkstrasse and on the other hand the construction on a wasteland at the rear exit of the Krefeld main station in the southern part of the city. On February 1, 2001, the city council finally decided to build a new multi-purpose arena on Westparkstrasse. After the corresponding tenders, Hochtief Construction AG was commissioned with the planning and construction of the hall. As an architect's office was RKW Rhode Kellermann Wawrowsky from Dusseldorf operates.
In February 2003, the Duisburg König Brewery secured the naming and serving rights for the hall with around 5 million euros. In June 2003, a lease agreement was finally concluded between Krefelder Bau GmbH as investor and builder and Seidenweberhaus GmbH as operator of the hall. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on August 27, 2003, and the topping-out ceremony was held on May 7, 2004. On December 4, 2004, the arena was finally opened with a concert by Sarah Connor . The first DEL game took place on December 17, 2004 when the Krefeld Penguins met the Eisbären Berlin in front of over 7,500 spectators.
On December 21, 2006, a malfunction occurred in the arena's cooling system, with very small amounts of ammonia escaping. After the incident, the penguins played and trained again in the Rheinlandhalle, as the coolant was stored in tanks and the ice surface was thawed. The arena was still available for ice-free events. About two months after the event, the arena was again available for the Krefeld Pinguine ice hockey games.
The Germany Cup ice hockey tournament has been held in the arena since 2018 . The agreement is initially valid for three years.
On August 29, 2018 it was announced that Yayla Türk GmbH, a Turkish food distributor based in Krefeld, will become the new name sponsor of the Krefeld multi-purpose hall on January 1, 2019 . It replaced the König brewery as the namesake. The royal palace became the Yayla arena . Seidenweberhaus GmbH and Yayla Türk GmbH agreed on a contract term of five years plus an option for two more years. A few weeks earlier, the company was presented as the new jersey sponsor of the penguins.
architecture
When planning, particular care was taken to import the cauldron effect from the Rhineland Hall. The cast glass elements built into the facade can be illuminated differently depending on the event. For concerts etc. the ice surface is covered with insulating floor plates.
