Berlin Olympic Stadium, Olympic Stadium in Westend, Berlin, Germany
The Berlin Olympic Stadium is a sports arena in Westend, part of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, with 74,475 seats and a construction made of stone. The structure covers an area roughly 300 by 230 meters (985 by 755 feet) and shows symmetrical architecture with encircling tiers.
Werner March designed the structure for the 1936 Summer Olympics, which hosted track and field competitions. After World War II, British forces took over the site before it later reopened for sporting events.
The venue takes its name from the Olympic Games and remains a place where football supporters gather on match days. The stands regularly fill with fans who support their team and shape the atmosphere inside.
Guided tours allow access to different areas and run daily when no events are scheduled. The U2 subway line and S5 commuter train connect the site with central Berlin.
The bell tower beside the Marathon Gate was rebuilt after the war following its destruction by fire. From the top, it offers a view over the western city and the surrounding Olympic Park.
