Erika-Heß-Eisstadion, Ice stadium in Wedding, Berlin, Germany

Erika-Heß-Eisstadion is an ice sports facility in Wedding with both an indoor and outdoor rink where skating activities take place daily. The venue serves competitive athletes, recreational skaters, and spectators with its operational ice surfaces.

The Erika-Heß-Eisstadion was completed in 1967 as the Ice Stadium Wedding, roofed but open on all sides and used only for ice sports. In 1982/83 it was converted into a multi-purpose hall, and in 1987 it was renamed after Erika Heß, the former Wedding district mayor. Until the Jafféstraße rink opened in 1973, the Berliner Schlittschuhclub also used the ice here.

The arena is nicknamed "Erika Heß" after Erika Heß, the former Wedding district mayor honoured in the 1987 renaming. FASS Berlin has played its home games here since 1972. Because it was rebuilt as a multi-purpose hall in 1982/83, it also hosts figure skating, ice stock sport, indoor football and animal shows.

The arena is in Wedding, administered by the district of Mitte, and includes a second outdoor ice surface open to the public alongside the indoor rink. The indoor hall has repeatedly closed for repairs to its ageing cooling system, so check before travelling. Since January 2026 a new refrigeration plant and the regular ice surface have been in operation, and the outdoor rink, shut since January 2023, reopened.

During the COVID-19 pandemic the hall housed a Moderna vaccination centre, open from 14 January to 31 August 2021. Ice sport returned for the 2021/22 season, but a defective cooling system closed the rink in March 2022 and again in March 2023; in winter 2024/25 it was usable for barely two weeks.
