Paul-Greifzu-Stadion, Multi-purpose stadium in Stralsund, Germany.
Paul-Greifzu-Stadion is a multi-purpose sports facility in Stralsund with a 385-meter speedway track and seating for up to 20,000 spectators. The venue has separate sections for seated and standing areas, serving as a venue for various sporting events.
Planning began in 1937 under Sports Commissioner Dr. Leschke, but World War II delayed completion until 1958. The opening ceremony drew 20,000 people and marked a fresh start for the city's sports infrastructure.
The venue is named after Paul Greifzu, a German motor racing driver whose influence shaped regional sports for decades.
The location sits in the Stadtkoppel area on Barther Straße and is easily accessible by public transit or car. For major events, arrive early as parking fills up quickly.
Speedway racing is the signature feature of this arena and draws specialized fans from across the region. The fast-paced motorcycle races on the oval track offer a spectacle quite different from regular football matches.
