history

The stadium was built in 1930 and 1931 and was damaged in World War II . The stadium was not restored until 1951. After the SSV Delmenhorst club had a row in May 1953 with the owner of their previous stadium Hinter dem Anker , Deutsche Linoleum-Werke , the SSV moved to the municipal stadium. In 1962, the SSV reached the promotion round to the then first-class Oberliga Nord . At the first home game of the round on May 13, 1952 against SV Arminia Hannover , the Delmenhorsters welcomed 7,000 spectators, which was also the club record for the SSV. However, the SSV failed to rise because the Hanoverians were able to prevail.

On July 13, 1973, the SSV merged with their long-time local rival Roland Delmenhorst and the successful handball club VSK Bungerhof to form SV Atlas Delmenhorst . The club developed into a strong spectator and recorded an average attendance of around 4,000 in the 1975/76 national league season. In the summer of 1976, the main stand was built with 900 covered seats. During the 1986/87 season the stadium was renovated in a period of 13 months. The cinder track was replaced by a tartan track and paths were paved . For this season, the Atlas footballers moved to the stadium at Schützenhaus Tell , the sporting home of the VSK Bungerhof club .

After the withdrawal of the sponsor Atlas Weyhausen , the club was renamed Delmenhorster SC on October 7, 1999 , before the club had to file for bankruptcy three years later and was dissolved. Eintracht Delmenhorst was founded as the successor club, whose football department split off on April 4, 2012 under the name SV Atlas Delmenhorst. The footballers of the new club SV Atlas Delmenhorst also use the Düsternort stadium. The women's team of TV Jahn Delmenhorst has also played in the stadium on Düsternortstrasse since it was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga North . Other users are the amateur clubs SV Tur Abdin , KSV Hicretsport and Rot-Weiß Hürriyet .

Further use

The German national soccer team played twice in the Delmenhorster Stadium. On May 1, 1983, the German team separated 1: 1 from Denmark as part of qualifying for the 1984 European Championship . The second game in Delmenhorst took place on September 6, 1987. In the 3-2 win in the friendly against Iceland , the later national coach Silvia Neid was the first to score three goals in a game. On July 3, 1994, the final of the German A youth championship between Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund was played on Düsternortstrasse. The guests from Dortmund prevailed with 3-2 goals.
