Dubois-Arena, Outdoor amphitheater in Borbeck district, Essen, Germany

The Dubois-Arena sits in Borbeck Castle Park, featuring concrete terraces that form a natural bowl shape for open-air performances and events.

Built in 1950 by members of the Essen Boxing Club Dubois, the arena attracted up to 25,000 spectators for boxing matches during its peak in the 1950s.

The venue transformed from a boxing arena into an amphitheater in 1995, now hosting children's festivals, concerts, and theatrical performances throughout the year.

Located near Borbeck Castle, the arena provides seating arrangements for several thousand visitors with direct access to walking paths in the park.

German boxing champion Max Schmeling made multiple appearances at this arena, which received national television coverage through newsreel formats.
