history

Euro crashes in 2015 in the Stahlpalast

The steel hall was the competition site of the BSG Stahl Brandenburg , the company sports association of the Brandenburg steel and rolling mill , a competitive sports club in the GDR . It was built on the sports complex on which the steel stadium or the stadium at Quenz is located.

In the GDR , several international handball games took place in the steel hall. In the run-up to the 1974 World Cup , for example, the GDR played a preparatory game against Poland in February . At the world championship itself, three group C group matches took place in Brandenburg. On March 1st, the GDR first played against the USA 35:14 (16: 6) and then the USSR against Japan 25:18 (13: 7). Two days later, on March 3rd, Japan played against the USA 29:18 (13: 9). In the 1980s, the syndicate of BSG Stahl Brandenburg and BSG Stahl Kirchmöser played their home games in the handball league , the first division in the GDR, in the steel hall. From 1990 the BSV Stahl Brandenburg , which was spun off from the BSG, played in the hall in the Oberliga and the Handball Bundesliga .

The hall was also used for concerts and other events. Thus, for example, was in January 1978 DFF -Jugendsendung around with a performance by the City transferred from the steel hall. On October 30, 1989, an official dialogue between representatives of the SED, government agencies and the population took place in the steel hall, in which 3,000 people took part. On the last weekend in January 1990, the FDJ held its congress ("XIII. Parliament"), accompanied by rallies by the youth group Neues Forum , with over 1700 participants in the steel hall, where it adopted new statutes in which it identified itself as the "left association" who stood up for an independent GDR as a “socialist alternative on German soil” and was no longer “the party's helper and fighting reserve”.

After the sport of handball collapsed in Brandenburg in the 1990s and users of the hall failed and it did not meet the requirements of a modern event hall, the decision was made to fundamentally renovate it. So the sports hall became a multi-purpose event hall called the Stahlpalast. Since then, for example, billiards competitions have been held regularly in the hall . The 2006 and 2011 European Pool Billiards Championships and the 2013 , 2015 , 2017 and 2019 European Carom Championships were held in the Steel Palace.
