The Olympic cycling stadium in Munich , now also known as the Event Arena , was a cycling stadium that was built for the 1972 Olympic Games and demolished in 2015.
history
From 1970 to 1972 the Olympic cycling stadium was built in the Olympic Park , east of Landshuter Allee . The architects and engineers Beier, Dahms, Grube, Harden, Kaiser and Laskowski were responsible for the design of the stadium. It had a 285.714 m (3.5 laps = 1,000 meters) long and 7.50 m wide racing track made of West African Doussié - Afzelia - precious wood according to plans by the Münster architect Herbert Schürmann and was half-open. The grandstands for 4,157 spectators (3,051 seats and 1,106 standing places) and the track itself were covered, the interior was not. The stadium is located at the " Toni-memorizing-way " so named after the Olympic champion in the sprint of 1936 .
Even after the Olympic Games, there were four bitumen tennis courts inside, which were surrounded by an air dome in the 1980s. At the end of the 1990s, the stadium was rebuilt and the open interior with an additional roof to create the Olympic Spirit adventure world . However, this was closed again after only a few months due to a lack of profitability. The Olympic cycling stadium was then marketed as an event arena for all kinds of events. The demolition was also discussed several times: In 2000, there were considerations of building a new stadium for FC Bayern Munich at this point, and an ice rink was planned at this point if the 2018 Winter Olympics were to be awarded to Munich.
After another renovation, the stadium was used as a congress center. It was divided on two levels and had a usable area of 9,000 square meters with a hall capacity of around 3,800 visitors. The owner is the Olympiapark Munich .
Decision to demolish the existing building
On December 17, 2014, the city of Munich decided to tender the construction of a new multifunctional hall for ice hockey and basketball at the location of the former cycling stadium by a private investor. The demolition was completed by the end of 2015.
New construction of a multifunctional hall
Originally, the opening of the new hall was planned for 2018.
As early as autumn 2015, due to ongoing negotiations between the Red Bull company interested in the new building, the intended joint user FC Bayern Munich (basketball) and the parts of the new hall for ice sports with the city of Munich, which was renting the area in long lease, Red Bull leaves, the start of construction and thus the opening delayed, whereupon Olympiapark GmbH offered the city of Munich the site for temporary use as a transitional quarter for refugees, which the city of Munich accepted as part of the location decision of September 30, 2015. From May 30, 2016, it was planned on the site that a transitional quarter for up to 500 refugees would be opened and that it would be used at least temporarily until the end of March 2017.
In February 2016, according to the planning at the time, the opening of the new hall was planned for 2021, but on February 25, 2016 FC Bayern Munich announced the withdrawal from the hall project:
- President Karl Hopfner cited the financial risk for the club and the long-term commitment from the concept presented by Red Bull as reasons for this .
- In addition, overlapping dates between FC Bayern and the EHC would be inevitable, so the FCB would have to continue to operate the Audi Dome as an alternative venue.
As part of the new location decision by the city of Munich, the use of the site as a transitional quarter was waived in 2016.
It is still open whether and in what form adjustments will be made to the current plans after the new hall is no longer used by a higher-class basketball team. As of July 2016, Olympiapark GmbH does not expect the talks between the remaining conversation partners to be concluded for at least two years, so that the prerequisites for the start of construction of the new hall are not yet in place and talks about another temporary use of the site by the Olympiapark GmbH can be run.
In mid-January 2017, Dietrich Mateschitz announced in an interview with Salzburger Nachrichten that the planning phase for the 10,000-spectator arena for almost 100 million euros has been largely completed. He doesn't expect a long submission and building permit phase. If construction can begin soon, the hall could be used from the 2019/20 season. A meeting between Mateschitz and Uli Hoeneß is planned for the beginning of February of the year, at which the details of the hall will be discussed. Concerts will not take place in the new arena, these will be reserved for both the Olympic Hall and the Olympic Stadium.
At the end of April 2017, it was announced that Red Bull and FC Bayern München Basketball are about to reach an agreement on the construction of the arena, while the City of Munich has yet to examine the rental conditions. The city of Munich is providing the property on a long lease, while Red Bull is bearing the construction costs of 100 million euros. FC Bayern Basketball and EHC Red Bull Munich are to become long-term tenants of the new building, and the city of Munich is also to become long-term tenants for shared use "for public ice skating, mass sports, school sports and for short track - especially for the youth base". Bayern President Uli Hoeneß stated in an interview that the hall will very likely be built. Completion is expected in 2020 or 2021 at the latest. The hall should offer space for 11,500 visitors for basketball games and 10,500 seats for ice hockey games. The arena will also not bear the sponsor name Red Bull . The hall will be used for up to 15 home games during the basketball season, with a change between use as an ice hockey or basketball stadium taking six hours.
