THE OLYMPIASTADION BERLIN<br />
HERZLICH WILLKOMMEN!<br />
WELCOME!<br />
On the edge of the Grunewald in the west of Charlottenburg the great<br />
oval of the <strong>Olympiastadion</strong> <strong>Berlin</strong> lies at the heart of spacious grounds. The<br />
monumental construction with its clear geometry and austere façade of<br />
Franconian shell limestone has impressed visitors for 70 years now.<br />
Seemingly unchanged, the sports arena has survived the turbulent events of history<br />
- but appearances can deceive: the classic torso conceals one of the most<br />
modern multifunctional arenas in europe. the stadium modernisation took four<br />
years to complete whilst all the regular events were staged as usual. In fact creating<br />
the new look took around eighteen months longer than the construction<br />
of the original building in the 1930s.<br />
the olympiastadion <strong>Berlin</strong> was built for the 1936 olympic games to designs<br />
by the architect Werner march. prior to the reunification of the two German<br />
states in 1990 the stadium was restored and modernised on several occasions.<br />
In 1998 the <strong>Berlin</strong> Senate decided to completely modernise the stadium while<br />
preserving its historical character: renovation and transformation into a virtually<br />
new building.<br />
the individual limestone panels were carefully dismantled piece by piece,<br />
numbered and cleaned. the stadium pitch was lowered by about two-and-ahalf<br />
metres to meet not only the fifa specifications for international football<br />
matches but also the strict conditions laid down by the International association<br />
of athletics Federations IaaF. the result was a success: <strong>Berlin</strong> won the bid<br />
to host the 2009 World championships in athletics.<br />
the complete core of the stadium was removed and replaced by a modern<br />
internal infrastructure. the most spectacular change is the stadium roof which<br />
sets new technological standards. the seemingly floating construction with its<br />
translucent outer skin is supported by twenty slim columns and shields almost<br />
all of the 74,244 seats from rain and sun. the roof opens at the marathon Gate<br />
providing a view of the ‘Glockenturm’ bell tower. as a result the modern roof<br />
design harmonises well with the overall historical structure - something the<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong> Senate was determined to achieve.<br />
What WouLd thE oLympiaStadioN bErLiN bE<br />
Without SportS?<br />
It owes its origin to sport and sport is still its source of inspiration today.<br />
After renovation was completed in 2004 the <strong>Olympiastadion</strong> <strong>Berlin</strong> returned<br />
to the ranks of Europe’s most modern sports and multifunctional arenas.<br />
Major sporting events are now on the stadium’s regular agenda.<br />
football, Germany’s number one sport, plays a key role. the highlight of football<br />
history at the olympiastadion berlin was the 2006 fifa World cup. Six games<br />
were played in the stadium, including the unforgettable quarterfinal, in which<br />
Germany defeated argentina in penalty kicks, and the memorable final match<br />
on July 9 between France and Italy. the Squadra azzura became the 18 th World<br />
cup champion after winning that game in penalty kicks at the olympiastadion<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong>.<br />
Since 1985 the olympiastadion berlin has been the venue of the German football<br />
association (dfb) cup finals in men’s football. and the women’s teams also<br />
battle for their prestigious cup here. the olympiastadion <strong>Berlin</strong> is of course the<br />
home ground of the city’s federal league players Hertha BSc <strong>Berlin</strong>. the club<br />
is closely linked with the stadium’s history: Hertha fans always have, and always<br />
will, consider it ‘their’ olympiastadion <strong>Berlin</strong>.<br />
athletics also have a strong tradition at the olympiastadion <strong>Berlin</strong>. the Interna-<br />
tional Stadium Festival (IStaF) - one of the most important sports gatherings<br />
for the world’s top athletes - takes place every year at the stadium. the 2009<br />
iaaf World championships in athletics, one of the world‘s most important<br />
athletics competitions and second only to the olympic Games, took place at<br />
the olympiastadion <strong>Berlin</strong>.<br />
but people flock to the stadium not just for sport. the olympiastadion berlin<br />
offers stars a unique setting for rock and pop concerts. <strong>Berlin</strong> has numerous<br />
concert halls - but where else in the city can 70.000 people gather in such a<br />
fantastic environment with such excellent acoustics for a live performance of<br />
their favourite stars?<br />
