The Langenstein Stadium is a football stadium with an athletics facility (type B) in Waldshut-Tiengen on the Wutach .

history

The name Langenstein stadium comes from the standing on the banks of Wutach about six meters high from Nagelfluh existing menhir Langenstein . In the Middle Ages, the court of the Landgraviate of Klettgau was located near the stone : mentions in the “Document register for the canton of Schaffhausen, which testifies to meetings of the Klettgau regional court in 1379 and 1425 'to the long stain'.” “The Nagelfluhpfeiler (was) also under the name, which has since expired Chindlistai known. "

It was a long way from the Langensteinwiese to the Langenstein Stadium. It all began in 1908 with a Langenstein meadow, which was made available to the newly founded FC Tiengen 08 free of charge at the time. A simple refuge, planned in 1909, was never realized, and it wasn't until 1930 that some comfort was added to the square with benches. An FC home built in the 1930s followed, and a grandstand for 350 people was planned as early as 1953, but not built until 1957. The first light poles were erected in the 1960s and a new clubhouse was built in 1967. In the 1970s the attached football field was improved. A modernization of the clubhouse was planned in 1985, the city of Waldshut-Tiengen combined this with the question of building a stadium in the course of urban development and considering the neighboring school center with the Klettgau high school . In 1993, the newly built Langenstein Stadium was opened with a friendly match and a football gala with Galatasaray Istanbul . For the twin town Courtenay , Mayor Andre Neveux and Martin Albers cut the ribbon in French colors and named the street that leads to the stadium to Courtenaystraße. (In Courtenay, a street to Allee de Tiengen was named as early as 1990 on the occasion of the planting of a friendship tree ).

The Waldshut-Tiengen athletics club, founded on October 16, 1992, is also based in the Langenstein Stadium. On May 14, 1994, Olympians Heike Drechsler , Mark McKoy and world champion Lars Riedel were guests at the 2nd International Athletics Meeting, the Specter Classics .

The former club area around the stone will be renatured from autumn 2018, combined “with the demolition of the grandstand built in 1958, the floodlight masts, fencing and other structural elements. [...] In the future, the old Langensteinstadtion will only serve as a floodplain in the event of flooding, since the land use plan only provides for green areas or sports fields. Other uses are not permitted, 'said Mayor Baumert “.
