Max Reimann Stadium was the name of the athletics stadium and the cycling track in the Brandenburg city of Cottbus , which are now part of the Cottbus sports center . The stadium was built on the rubble of a sports facility that was destroyed in the last days of the Second World War and was named after the communist politician Max Reimann .
The decision to rebuild was made on November 30, 1948. With a lot of voluntary work and the support of Bau Union Cottbus, the first track cycling competitions were held on October 14, 1951 . With all kinds of competitions, the entire facility was opened from August 15 to 17, 1952 in front of 20,000 spectators.
In addition to athletic competitions and cycling events, handball players and boxers in particular used the facilities. Until the end of the 1960s, however, the Energie Cottbus footballers also played some of their home games in the stadium. In 1979 the sports facilities were adapted to the latest international standard at the time, and major international athletics events could again take place in Cottbus.
On October 31, 1987 a newly built cycling track (today's Cottbuser Radstadion ) was inaugurated. The old railway, completed in 1951, was demolished; The ice rink also had to give way to the new building. The entrance gate and the competition tower were preserved and are under monument protection. Today the lawn of the Brandenburg Football Association is located on the site.
The last renovation work took place in the summer of 2002 when the stadium received a new synthetic membrane.
As an open-air area, the stadium was first used in 1990 for a concert with Udo Lindenberg .
The two sports facilities are the basis of the Cottbus sports center.
The stadium has a maximum capacity of 19,000 spectators and 4,999 during match operations.
