location
The Werner-Seelenbinder-Sportplatz is part of a sports complex north of the Marienberg in the south-eastern part of the North district on Brielower Straße. The Seelenbindersportplatz itself includes a central football stadium and two further training or sports fields. Furthermore, a communal sports field and a sports hall are immediately adjacent.
history
The sports complex with the Werner-Seelenbinder sports field was built in the early 1900s on a former parade ground , the model meadow outside the urban development. The northern district, a new development area, was only laid out as planned from 1964.
After the Second World War, the facility was named after the wrestler, Olympian and communist Werner Seelenbinder , who was executed by the Nazis in Brandenburg prison in 1944 . In his honor, a memorial with a bust was erected in the entrance area . In the years of the GDR, wreaths were regularly laid at the memorial .
In the 1950s, the sports complex consisted of two sports fields and a cycling track . The cycling track in the north of the sports complex was one of around 25 open-air tracks in the GDR. It had a concrete covering . In 1953 the length of the track was 385 meters. It was 6 meters wide and 26 degrees cant . The facility was approved for 15,000 spectators. The cycle track was later dismantled. In their place is the northern training ground. The south stand of the cycling track or part of it is still preserved.
On October 2, 1958, an international match of the rugby union national team of the GDR was played on the Seelenbindersportplatz . In Brandenburg, the young team managed their only draw against a Romanian national team in their international history with a 5-5 score. More than 3,000 spectators saw the encounter.
Around 1950 the Seelenbinder sports field was in the meantime the home of the soccer players of the ZSG Werner Seelenbinder Brandenburg, then the BSG Motor Süd Brandenburg, which played several seasons there in the second-rate GDR league . In the 1953/54 season , an average of 5,100 spectators came to the games of the BSG. After the political change, Motor Süd was renamed BSC Süd 05, the home of which has since been the soul bondage sports field. In the 1990s, a roofed grandstand with seating for 500 was built in the football stadium. In the 2014/15 season, the stadium was approved for 5,000 spectators.
