The Hohenhorst Stadium is a combined football and athletics stadium in the Westphalian district town of Recklinghausen . The stadium was originally built as the home ground of Viktoria Recklinghausen , who played two seasons in the Gauliga Westfalen between 1933 and 1935 .
The stadium originally had a capacity of 30,000 spectators. Today there is room for 2,700 visitors on covered seats. A further 4,300 spectators can follow the action from concrete steps around the stadium.
