Werner-von-Linde-Halle, Indoor athletics facility at Olympic Park, Munich, Germany.
The Werner-von-Linde-Halle is an indoor training facility at the Olympic Park with a 200-meter oval track, multiple sprint lanes, and dedicated areas for long jump, pole vault, and other track and field events. The building offers training space and seating for spectators to watch athletes practice.
The hall was built in 1972 for the Olympic Games and served as a warm-up facility for athletes, connected to the Olympic Stadium through an underground tunnel. It was named after Werner von Linde in 1975, who championed its preservation after the games.
The facility received its name in 1975 to honor Werner von Linde, who advocated for the preservation of the hall after the Olympic Games.
Visits are possible during training sessions when athletes are using the facility, and the tribune provides a good view of the action. It helps to check ahead for scheduled events since not all areas may be open to visitors at all times.
After a 2007 renovation, the hall received specially designed curved sections with reduced banking that allow sprinters to maintain full racing speed during training. This technical feature makes it a preferred training location for elite athletes.
