Artland-Arena, multi-purpose hall

Artland Arena is a multi-purpose hall in Quakenbrück that has served diverse events since 2003. The facility spans roughly 3,000 square meters with movable seating and flexible configurations that adapt to different needs, accommodating up to 3,000 people depending on the type of event.

The arena opened in 2003 and quickly became a center for sports events, especially basketball games featuring the Artland Dragons team. Over time, its purpose expanded to include concerts, theater, and other cultural events, broadening its importance to the region.

The arena's name comes from the Artland region around Quakenbrück, and the home club is the Artland Dragons. From the first Bundesliga game in October 2003 until November 2010, every league match of the Dragons there was sold out, which shaped the hall's reputation among fans.

Around 1,000 free parking spaces for cars and buses are available in the immediate vicinity of the arena. Next to the hall are another sports hall, a tennis hall and an outdoor area with two floodlit football training pitches; the indoor and outdoor swimming pools are directly opposite.

From the first Bundesliga game in October 2003 until November 2010, every Artland Dragons league home game in the hall was sold out. A 2008 feasibility study put the cost of rebuilding and raising the capacity to 5,000 seats at around eight million euros.
