  • Final German field handball championship 1975 (last official field handball game on the large field in Germany)

The stadium Obernfelder Allee , officially Lübbecke-Stadion , unofficially also FC-Stadion is a sports stadium in the East Westphalian city of Lübbecke in North Rhine-Westphalia . The stadium has always been the home of the soccer club FC Lübbecke

There are different details about the audience capacity. According to FC Lübbecke , it has space for 1,000 spectators, other sources speak of 3,000 places, during the last field handball game in 1975 6,000 people, according to other sources, even 10,000 people are said to have found space as spectators. At the beginning of the game, it is said to have been 12,000 people who attended the game.

The last official field handball game in Germany took place in the Obernfelder Allee stadium on August 10, 1975 with the final of the 1975 German field handball championship between TuS Nettelstedt and TSG Haßloch .

location

The stadium is located in the south of the core city of Lübbecke and is therefore quite central in relation to the city as a whole. It is in the immediate vicinity of the Obernfelder Allee outdoor pool . On the other side, exactly opposite the stadium, there is a sports field, a pure football field without a running track (a former rugby field from the times when Lübbecke was still a British garrison), which is also used by FC Lübbecke. The system is located on the northern roof of the Wiehengebirge at around 80 meters above sea level.

The main entrance used to be accessible via a large staircase from Osnabrücker Straße. With the sporting downturn of FC Lübbecke, interest in the club's games decreased and the large entrance area was no longer used. Today you can reach the sports field through the direct entrance from Obernfelder Allee.

Furnishing

The stadium has a natural turf playground measuring 105 mx 63 m, a 400-meter cinder track and a facility for long jump. There are no regular bleachers; the spectator area is limited to standing room around the track. In the area of ​​the curves, however, these are raised like a wall, so that the “rear” spectators can also see something of the course of the game here. The entire stadium, with spectator areas, covers around two hectares and the area for standing spectators around 6,000 m².

Last field handball game in Germany

On August 10, 1975, a Sunday, the final at the Obernfelder Allee stadium was almost 40 degrees Celsius, which (according to the TuS N-Lübbecke) was filled with 6,000 to 10,000 spectators that day, and in the meantime possibly 12,000.

At the beginning of the game, TuS Nettelstedt was able to underpin its favorite role for the German championship title with a 5: 1 and 7: 3. In the second half, however, the guests from the Palatinate continued to catch up. After the Nettelstedter had caught up again to 14:14 after falling 12:14, Karl-Heinz Hubach from Haßloch scored the decisive goal at 14:15 in the last minute of the game. With the victory of TSG Haßloch, the team from Rhineland-Palatinate, which before the introduction of the national leagues in field and indoor handball, had participated largely unsuccessfully in the finals of the German championship, became the last German field handball champion and TuS Nettelstedt was able to win look forward to a runner-up. The history of field handball at the national level in Germany ended with the 1975 final . In the following years only a few regional championships were held.

The stadium is the start and finish of the now traditional watch tower run . This fun run with the turning point at the waiting tower on the Wurzelbrink in the Wiehengebirge takes place in June every year and is 13.9 kilometers long and a total of 346 meters of altitude must be conquered.

First district sports festival after the World War
