Bielefelder Alm, Football stadium in Bielefeld, Germany.
The Bielefelder Alm is a football stadium with capacity for 27,300 spectators, featuring covered seating areas and four corner floodlights. It distinguishes itself with a glass roof that generates electricity to power the facility.
The ground opened on 1 May 1926 when Arminia Bielefeld faced Victoria Hamburg before roughly 2,000 spectators at the newly built venue. It has since become the club's home and remains central to the city's football identity.
The stadium's nickname 'Alm' reflects its elevated position at the city's edge, evoking alpine meadows and mountain pastures. This name remains deeply embedded in how fans and locals refer to the ground today.
The ground sits near cycling routes and has convenient public transport links, making it straightforward to reach. Refreshment facilities and separated areas for home and away supporters are available throughout the venue.
The glass roof serves two functions at once: it shields spectators from the weather while feeding solar power into the grid. This combination of shelter and energy production is uncommon among German stadiums.
