The Rudolf-Kalweit-Stadion (formerly Stadion am Bischofsholer Damm ) is a football stadium in the Bult district of the Lower Saxony capital Hanover . The venue currently offers space for 16,000 spectators. This makes it the city's second largest football stadium after the HDI Arena . The SV Arminia Hannover is the owner and there carries its home games in the Oberliga Niedersachsen (5 league) from. The American football department Arminia Spartans in the German Football League 2 also plays in the facility . The German national rugby team regularly plays international matches in the Rudolf Kalweit Stadium.
history
The stadium on Bischofsholer Damm was built in 1918 and expanded in 1924. The previously existing sports field was brought in by the Merkur rugby club when it merged with Arminia Hannover in October 1918. After the Second World War , the heavily damaged stadium was renovated and expanded again. The attendance record dates back to April 1960, when Arminia Hannover faced Bremer SV in front of almost 20,000 spectators and won 6-1. In 1963, the sports facility was about to be demolished because the city of Hanover wanted to expand the Bischofsholer Damm. But the football club refused to sell the facility and had to sacrifice a back gate to the road construction project. In 1976 the old grandstand was demolished. The "new" roof comes from the Rote Erde stadium in Dortmund .
present
At the beginning of 2004 the stadium on Bischofsholer Damm was renamed Rudolf-Kalweit-Stadion. Kalweit, a Hanoverian restaurateur who died in 2002 at the age of 96, had been a member of Arminia since 1925 and left the club's youth with a legacy of millions.
