The Eurogreen Stadium "Auf dem Bühl" is the football stadium in Betzdorf / Sieg . It is located in the urban area of the same name, Auf dem Bühl . The stadium is the home ground of the municipal football club, SG 06 Betzdorf , and has a capacity of 2,500 to 4,000 spectators.
The stadium has both a grass pitch and an ash pitch. In the spring / summer of 2008, after a long planning phase, the new clubhouse including the adjacent functional building was built and put into operation a year later.
Historical
The Betzdorf sports facility "Auf dem Bühl" was built in the late 1930s. If the soccer games were played on the area of today's Betzdorf Schützenplatz, a stadium suitable for the club and the city of Betzdorf was completed in 38/39. Even then, the square was characterized by the "natural layout" that made it one of the more preferred stadiums in the near and far surroundings.
As a major railway hub , the city of Betzdorf felt the destructive force of the Second World War in a special way. All of the club's work was destroyed. Shortly after its construction, the newly built stadium was unusable due to numerous bomb craters and was rededicated in its use: American tank units moved into the space as storage space. If both changing rooms survived the war unscathed, one of the two was retracted by a tank shortly after the war ended. Only a few years after it was built, nothing was left of the square. In 1946, shortly after the war, the stadium was makeshift in order.
More recent times and conversion to a pure football facility
Construction of the clubhouse in the stadium began on September 8, 1981, and was completed a year later - a showcase project for the time.
In the summer / autumn of 1991, the starting shot was given for extensive structural changes "Auf dem Bühl". A new grass pitch and a tennis court were built for 2.5 million euros. The back straight was expanded to become a standing room. To "reopen" this facility, the Rhein-Zeitung on Tuesday, July 7, 1992 devoted a special section exclusively to the new sports facility. One article dealt exclusively with the history of the Betzdorf sports field. "From Kolpingplatz to the sports arena", it says. Was the sports area previously u. a. still provided with a track for athletics use, it is now used exclusively as a football stadium. In 2013, a so-called hybrid turf was laid in the stadium . For this reason, the stadium has been called "Eurogreen Stadium" since 2014.
Major sporting events "Auf dem Bühl"
On June 4 and 5, 1966, the association hosted the German Railway Championships in the stadium. Over 250 participants from around 60 clubs took part.
Two years later, on June 15 and 16, 1968, the West German Championships, a high-level athletics event, took place in the "Auf dem Bühl" stadium. Numerous top athletes from the German Athletics Association (DLV) took part. Among the 524 registered athletes from 112 clubs were a number of athletes who later won honorable championship titles.
On November 2, 1971, the team from Eintracht Frankfurt made a guest appearance at "Auf dem Bühl" . Well over 4000 spectators were guests of "Auf dem Bühl" and saw a 3-6 defeat for the Betzdorf team.
After a conversion to a pure football stadium, the Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln was met in July 1992 when the facility was reopened . The over 6500 spectators set a record attendance in the stadium "Auf dem Bühl", which could not be set in the games against the Bundesliga club Alemannia Aachen on May 21, 2007 and again against 1. FC Köln on July 10, 2010.
