Mommsenstadion

Mommsenstadion is a football venue in Berlin's Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district, recognizable by its Bauhaus architecture. The structure follows clean geometric lines and combines functional stands with an open design that allows views of the pitch from all areas.

Fred Forbát designed the stadium, which opened in 1930 and served as a football venue during the 1936 Olympic Games. After World War II, the facility remained operational and was gradually adapted for modern match requirements.

The name honors the historian and philologist Theodor Mommsen, who worked in Berlin during the late 19th century. Today, regional teams use the stadium while spectators follow the action on the pitch from open stands.

The stadium sits in the western part of Berlin and is well connected by public transport. Visitors will find both standing and seating options, and the venue can be busy during home matches of local clubs.

The German national team used the grounds as their training base during the 2006 World Cup. This location provided the players with a quiet setting away from large arenas while they prepared for their matches.
