The Mathias Stinnes stadium was a football stadium with a cinder track in the northern Essen district of Karnap . It was built in 1925, bought by the Mathias Stinnes colliery in 1950 and expanded into one of the most modern stadiums in the Ruhr area . Officially, it still holds 9,000 spectators today. The facility is named after the German entrepreneur Mathias Stinnes (* 1790; † 1845). Many sporting activities took place here, mainly competitions among miners. The competitions were organized by the directors of Stinnes' own collieries, who also held the awards ceremony.
history
1950-1995
After the stadium was expanded in 1950 and inaugurated with a big party, the then second largest club in Essen moved TSG Karnap 07 into the stadium. The sports center built on this site contained a double bowling alley which was ceremoniously opened in 1954 for sporting competitions. On September 23, 1956, the first (unofficial) international match of the German women's national football team against the DFB ban was played in the Mathias Stinnes stadium in front of 17,000 spectators against the Netherlands (2: 1). The first goal scorer for a German women's selection was Lotti Beckmann.
After TSG Karnap 07 and the second Karnap club, SG Karnap 27, merged to form FC Karnap 07/27 in 1995 , the club moved to the Lohwiese district sports facility in 1974.
Since 1995
From there on, the stadium was used by the second Rot-Weiss Essen team and torn down piece by piece. In 2000, the energy supply company RWE bought the stadium and Bader SV played in the stadium from that point on. In addition, rugby association and junior league games of the Grashof Rugby Club Essen were played there. At the end of 2006 there were plans to set up a riding school, but this plan was rejected. From the 2009/10 season, the leisure league club Rot-Weiß Altenessen (Group 1) played at this point. In November 2009 the empty sports center was torn down. From September 11, 2015, the area was converted into a tent village for refugees. The grass and ash pitches suitable for soccer were paved and made unusable. The planned capacity was 700 people. Part of the grandstand and trees were destroyed for the construction of an escape route. The last refugees left the tent village in November 2016. After the tent village was abandoned, the main stand was demolished. Only the main gate and the remains of the grandstand are still preserved.
