history

The district sports hall was completed in 1980. The hall has a capacity of 3,030 spectators for handball games.

In addition to handball games, the sports hall can be used in many ways for other sporting events. In table tennis , for example, the German individual championships for senior citizens and the German men's cup final in 1991/92 have already been held in the hall twice (1999 and 2004). Every January, the Freeway Cup , the “unofficial German U-16 indoor soccer championship”, is played in the Kreissporthalle .

After the Kampa hall in Minden will be closed for security reasons on December 31, 2019, the handball club GWD Minden will play its home games for the second half of the 2019/20 season in the Merkur Arena. How it will continue in the following season is still unclear.
