The Seppl-Herberger-Stadion (also Altes Waldhof-Stadion , until 1996 Stadion am Alsenweg ) is located in Mannheim 's Waldhof district . From December 1924 to the end of November 1993 (with the exception of the years 1983 to 1989) the first team of SV Waldhof Mannheim played their home games here. Today it is used to host test matches and as a venue for the 2nd team and the youth teams.
The stadium consists of a main stand with seats and a speaker's booth as well as standing room around the field. Its total capacity is 15,200 spectators. It is part of the Seppl-Herberger sports complex, which was named after the former Waldhof player and German coaching idol Sepp Herberger in 1996 together with the stadium and is now the official club area of SV Waldhof.
history
The Seppl-Herberger Stadium was built at the beginning of the 1920s on the "place at the shooting ranges" and was the third SV Waldhof venue after the so-called "mud hole" and the "sand field" behind the Waldhof school. After its partial destruction in World War II , it was rebuilt by club members and volunteers by 1954. After the SVW was promoted to the Bundesliga in 1983, the main stand had to give way to a new building. Due to the requirements of the DFB , the 1st team played most of their home games in the then larger Südweststadion in the neighboring city of Ludwigshafen during their Bundesliga time . In the 1989/90 season she returned to the home stadium on Alsenweg. Since 1994 she has been playing in the newly built Carl Benz Stadium in the Oststadt district . Mainly the 2nd team and the youth of the SVW play their home games in the Seppl-Herberger-Stadion. In 1996, an international match between the German women's national team and Iceland was played here.
On the Seppl-Herberger sports complex there is also the SV Waldhof office (access via the player entrance in the main stand), another grass pitch and three artificial turf pitches. In 2009, thanks to a donation from Dietmar Hopp , the Mannheim-Nord youth development center was opened. The SVW clubhouse, "Bei Dimi", which is run by the former Waldhof player Dimitrios Tsionanis or his brother Pantelis , the Herbert-Lucy- Hall, which serves as the home ground for the SVW handball players , and the grounds of the tennis department are also located on Alsenweg SVW . In the summer of 2014, volunteers painted the facade of the stadium with the coat of arms of the club and the city of Mannheim.
