Haus des Deutschen Sports

Haus des Deutschen Sports is a building in Olympic Park housing exhibition spaces about German sports history and Olympic events. The structure spans multiple levels and presents comprehensive information about various sports topics to visitors.

The building was constructed for the 1936 Summer Olympics and served as the venue for fencing competitions and the fencing component of modern pentathlon. Its role during those games permanently shaped its identity as a sports facility.

The entrance features sculptural works by Arno Breker depicting athletes engaged in different sports disciplines. These artistic representations shape the space today and reflect how sport was integrated into urban design.

Visitors can join guided tours through the visitor center and reach the facility easily by public transportation. The building is centrally located in Olympic Park and accessible from several transit stops.

Two golden eagles mounted on pylons mark the entrance to Adlerhof square and guide visitors to the central courtyard known as Jahnplatz. These striking sculptures are often the first thing people notice when arriving at the site.
