Sportforum Hohenschönhausen

Sportforum Hohenschönhausen is a large sports complex in Alt-Hohenschönhausen with many training facilities and competition venues for different sports. The site includes ice rinks, sports halls, a football stadium, and athletic grounds.

The complex was founded in 1954 as Dynamo-Sportforum and served as East Germany's main training center for elite athletes. After reunification, it was restructured and now operates as an important national training facility.

The facility serves as a hub for serious athletes across numerous disciplines and draws visitors who want to watch training or participate themselves. The infrastructure reflects how much Berlin values organized sports and athlete development.

The complex is easily accessible by public transportation and offers various facilities on-site, including a guest house for visitors and athletes. You should check ahead to see which areas are open to visitors, as some facilities are reserved for training and competition only.

The facility has three ice rinks that serve professional athletes and are also open to the public for skating during certain times of year. Having multiple rinks side by side is unusual for an urban training center and reflects its serious sports focus.
