Ellenfeldstadion, Football stadium in Neunkirchen, Germany
Ellenfeldstadion is a football stadium in Neunkirchen, Germany. It has a grass pitch and stands that can hold many spectators, though some sections are now closed.
The stadium opened in 1912 and was rebuilt in the 1960s. It was sold to the city in 1990 to avoid bankruptcy and became a protected monument in 2025.
On match days, the air fills with songs and the smell of grilled sausages. The main stand, with its red seats, is where the most loyal supporters gather.
The stadium is easy to reach on foot from the town center. Visitors can walk around the outside and, on match days, enter through the main gates.
The stadium has never had floodlights, so all matches are played in daylight. Its highest attendance was 33,000 in 1967, but today it holds far fewer.
