Billtalstadion, Football stadium in Bergedorf, Germany
Billtalstadion is a football arena in Bergedorf featuring an artificial turf pitch and 400-meter running track nestled within a natural depression. The spectator stands follow the hillside slopes, giving the location a distinctive structural character.
The stadium opened in 1950 after the site was excavated from a former shooting range in Bergedorf forest. This conversion from military land to sports facility shaped the neighbourhood's post-war development.
The stadium takes its name from the nearby Billtal valley, a landscape that shapes life in Bergedorf. Visitors notice today how the facility blends with its natural surroundings and reflects local connection through its geographical position.
The stadium sits at Daniel-Hinsche-Strasse 50 and holds around 10,000 visitors with modern floodlighting. Its position in a terrain depression requires sturdy footwear, and steps can be slippery during rain.
Until its 2009 renovation, the stadium's clay surface made it Germany's largest facility of its kind. The switch to artificial turf changed the playing experience while making the venue less weather-dependent.
