Rosenaustadion

Rosenaustadion is a multi-purpose stadium in Augsburg featuring a 400-meter running track that encircles a grass playing field. The venue accommodates approximately 28,000 spectators and includes modern amenities like undersoil heating and floodlights for evening events.

The stadium was constructed in 1949 using approximately 185,000 tonnes of debris from World War II bombings, transported via a temporary railway line from central Augsburg. This repurposing of war rubble became an important part of the city's post-war reconstruction.

The venue hosted five matches during the 1972 Summer Olympics, contributing to German sports development in both football and athletics competitions.

The site is easily accessible by public transport and offers ample parking for visitors on match days. Modern facilities make it a comfortable venue for both football matches and track and field events.

In 1952, the stadium recorded its highest attendance of 65,000 spectators during an international match between Germany and Switzerland.
