Margon Arena, architectural structure
Margon Arena is a multi-purpose hall on Bodenbacher Straße in Dresden, inaugurated in 1998. It seats 3,000 for sports and can be expanded to 4,500 for concerts. The building contains up to 16 changing rooms with showers and toilets, a press and TV workroom, medical rooms, kiosks and a VIP area.
The sports grounds were built in the 1960s in East Germany and originally called Philipp-Müller-Stadion, while the current hall was completed in 1998 as the Bodenbacher Straße multi-purpose hall. In 2007 it received its present name Margon Arena following a sponsorship agreement with a local company.
The hall was named Margon Arena in 2007 under a sponsorship deal with the Margon Brunnen GmbH mineral water company; that contract expired in 2026 and was not renewed, so the naming rights passed to the Dresden e-commerce firm Cyberport SE. Home games of Dresdner SC volleyball and Dresden Titans basketball are played here, and until 2017 HC Elbflorenz handball also used the hall.
The hall has up to 16 changing rooms with showers and toilets, plus a press and TV workroom and first-aid rooms. Parking around the building holds 300 vehicles. The arena is owned by the city of Dresden and run by the municipal Sportstätten Dresden agency since January 2021.
Next to the main hall sits a 400-meter outdoor track available year-round and lit for evening use even in winter. The complex also features field event areas, tennis courts, and other sports grounds, making it a complete sports facility beyond just indoor events.
