Circular sports hall
In the narrower sense, a circular sports hall or circular gymnasium is a very uniform type of sports hall to which many halls built in the late 1960s and 1970s correspond. However, all sports halls with a round floor plan are often referred to as “ circular sports halls ”, and there was a general trend towards the construction of halls with a round floor plan from the 1960s to the 1980s. There are around 70 sports halls of this type, mainly in Germany , but also in Austria and Switzerland .
The famous round sports halls are the Ostermann-Arena (formerly Smidt-Arena, in front of Wilhelm Dopatka Hall) in Leverkusen , which Rundsporthalle Ludwigsburg , where there in the Bundesliga playing basketball teams for years fought out their home games, as well as the Rundsporthalle Waiblingen , the acts as the home ground of the Bundesliga handball players of VfL Waiblingen Handball . The Olympiahalle in Munich also dates from this time and also has a round shape, but differs significantly from the other externally quite uniform circular sports halls in size and design. Also in Munich, the Rudi-Sedlmayer-Halle was renovated in 2011 and now serves as the new home ground for the basketball team of FC Bayern Munich under the new name Audi Dome .
Classic type circular sports halls
A total of 31 circular sports halls were built in West Germany between 1967 and 1976, including 13 in North Rhine-Westphalia , eight in Baden-Württemberg and five in Rhineland-Palatinate . The "Rundsporthalle" type was offered by the Fröhlich and Dörken company in Gevelsberg ; the construction costs were between three and four million DM, depending on the year of construction and size . The circular sports hall in Landau (Palatinate) was demolished in spring 2018, so that only 30 circular sports halls exist.
construction
The diameter of the circular floor plan is 53 meters in most halls, and more rarely 63 meters. The cross-section of the halls is trapezoidal . The roof is supported by 24 reinforced concrete columns arranged in a circle. The roof structure is constructed as a tensile conical shell made of four millimeter thick sheet steel with radially arranged strips. The outer walls are up to three meters in height than reinforced concrete sandwich panels , also as externally and internally clad steel wood truss executed.
Equipment and use
The sports and multi-purpose halls comply with DIN 18032 and include a gymnastics room and a spacious spectator area. In the hall type with a diameter of 53 meters, the sports area is 1360 m², the main usable area is 2433 m². In the larger hall type, these areas are 1800 m² and 3413 m² respectively.
In these halls, the large playing field lying across the grandstand can be divided into three smaller practice fields by dividing curtains. The halls are mainly used for school and club sports, some halls of this type are also used for events.
Asbestos removal
In the 1980s, the interior roof of the halls of this type had to be renovated because the asbestos used for reasons of fire , heat and noise protection was feared that the air could be polluted by asbestos fibers. These asbestos coatings showed signs of damage in all halls , which is why a release of considerable amounts of asbestos fine dust was to be expected, although a higher concentration could actually only be measured in individual halls. The total costs of the renovation in Baden-Württemberg were between 200,000 and 500,000 DM per hall.
