The SOSiR stadium (Słubickiego Ośrodka Sportu i Rekreacji Sp. Z oo) (originally Stadion an der Kleisthöhe , later Ostmarkstadion ) is a sports stadium in Słubice , Poland .

history

The stadium on the Kleisthöhe was built from 1914 as a sports stadium for the city of Frankfurt (Oder) in the area of ​​what was then Dammvorstadt (today Słubice). Frankfurt's oldest gymnasium has been located there since the end of the 19th century. Initially, Russian prisoners of war from the Gronenfelde prisoner-of-war camp, seven kilometers away, were taken to work on foot.

From 14 to 22 In July 1924 the Ostmarkschau for trade and agriculture (OGELA) took place, which attracted around 100,000 visitors. In 1927 the stadium was completed and the tram line extended from Frankfurt to the stadium.

It wasn't just for sport. In 1932, Adolf Hitler spoke on a small mobile platform at a party event of the NSDAP . In July 1933 a meeting of the local SA took place.

The stadium was included in the list of monuments of the Lubusz Voivodeship in 2014.

Architecture and equipment

The site of a gravel pit on the hill there offered favorable conditions for a wide sports field with adjacent grandstands. Based on the plans of the city architect Otto Morgenschweis (1869–1944), the model was the arcades of the amphitheater in Aachen and the German stadium in Berlin-Grunewald , which was planned as an Olympic stadium . There were cafes and restaurants under the arcades.

Two of the outdated coats of arms in their midst belong to the People's Republic of Poland (eagle without crown) and to the former Gorzów Voivodeship, and the third is the old city coat of arms of Słubices. The former bridge to the secondary sports fields was demolished before 2014.

Originally there was only terraced standing room, which was replaced by seating.

use

With its four seats, the stadium is used by an amateur football club and an athletics club , among others . Next to it is an ice rink , which is also popular with Frankfurt's residents.
