Eilenriedestadion, Football stadium in Mitte, Germany.
Eilenriedestadion is a football venue in Hannover's Mitte district featuring natural grass with a running track encircling the field. The ground holds about 18,000 spectators under covered stands and currently hosts reserve and youth team matches.
The ground opened in 1921 as Stadion der Stadt Hannover and served as Hannover 96's home until the club relocated in 1959. The facility then transitioned to hosting youth and reserve football activities.
The stadium shaped how Hannover sees itself as a football city and remains connected to the local identity through generations of supporters who first fell in love with the game here. Today it serves the community by hosting youth and reserve team matches that keep the football tradition alive.
The venue sits at Clausewitzstraße 4 and benefits from good public transport connections in the urban area. Check ahead for youth and reserve match schedules to plan your visit properly.
Germany's national team won two international matches at this ground: beating Denmark in 1931 and Belgium in 1937. These victories remain some of the stadium's proudest historical moments.
