The Wullenstadion is a sports facility in Witten -Annen. It offers space for around 12,000 spectators, has a covered seating area and is the largest stadium in the city. This is where the FSV Witten plays its home games.
history
The stadium was built in 1926-1927 with a job creation measure. The place was Witten's first modern sports facility. During the Second World War , the place was occupied by an anti-aircraft battery and therefore not usable. After the war, VfL Witten played here in the 1947/48 season in what was then the first-class Oberliga West . The greatest success was probably a 6: 1 against the team from Fortuna Düsseldorf .
