Stadion Esserberg, Football stadium in Haren, Netherlands.
Stadion Esserberg is a football facility in Haren with an artificial grass surface and stands positioned directly beside the pitch. Spectators sit close to the action, and floodlights allow matches and events to take place in the evening.
The stadium was designed in 1921 by architect Evert van Linge, a former player for Be Quick 1887, in the Amsterdam School style. Following a fire in 1933 that destroyed the wooden stands, van Linge rebuilt the structure with new architectural influences.
The stadium is home to Be Quick 1887 football club and has shaped local sports life for more than a century. Supporters gather here regularly, making it an important meeting place for the community.
The venue is located at Rijksstraatweg 16 with seating for around 12,000 spectators. Visitors should check opening times in advance and allow time to arrive for matches or events.
After the destructive fire of 1933, van Linge created a new concrete tribune drawing design inspiration from celebrated sports venues elsewhere. This rebuilding shows how the facility recovered from disaster while embracing new architectural ideas of the time.
