history
The municipal stadium was opened in 1921 and, in addition to the soccer field, consisted of a cinder track , long, high and pole vaulting facilities as well as facilities for shot put, discus and hammer throw. At the German football championship 1924/25 , the round of 16 between FC Viktoria Forst and Schwarz-Weiß Essen was played in front of 7,000 spectators in the Forster Stadium. Essen prevailed 2: 1. The semi-finals of the East German ATSB soccer championship 1925/26 were also held in the stadium at the water tower.
After the National Socialists came to power , the stadium was renamed Franz-Seldte-Kampfbahn . During this time, the stadium was also used for a number of football games, for example on September 2, 1934 there was a friendly game between the Dresdner SC and a Forster district selection in front of 4,000 spectators, which Dresden won 7-1.
During the GDR era, the stadium was renamed Stadium of Unity . The SG Forst-Mitte used it for the seasons in the Brandenburg state soccer class from 1946 to 1952 . The final of the Brandenburg state soccer class in 1947/48 between SG Cottbus-Ost and SG Babelsberg took place in front of 14,000 spectators in the Forster Stadium. The local rival unit Forst also used the stadium, but only for friendly matches against higher-class opponents. The ASG forward Cottbus played at the stadium late 60s at least one season in the second-rate DDR-Liga . 9,000 spectators followed the game Vorwärts Cottbus against Energie Cottbus . The second team from Vorwärts Cottbus played their home games in the district league Cottbus in the seasons 1965/66 and 1966/67 also in the Forster Stadium. In addition, various athletics competitions and the Spartakiad took place in the unit's stadium . In 1961 the stadium was the stage destination of the opening stage of the GDR tour . In addition, the stadium was part of the children's and youth sports school , which was located in the immediate vicinity from 1954 to 1975, and was the predecessor of the Lausitz sports school in Cottbus .
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall , ESV Forst (soccer) and LTSV Forst 1990 (athletics) have leased the stadium. The building fabric is noticeably deteriorating. It is planned to modernize the stadium and its facilities for the centenary.
