Hauptstadion

Hauptstadion is an equestrian complex in Aachen with multiple competition fields for international show jumping. The grounds feature tiered seating areas arranged around the riding courts, designed to accommodate both equestrian tournaments and large concert events.

The facility was established in 1924 and has undergone periodic modernization to meet international standards. Major upgrades in the early 2000s brought new seating structures and improved infrastructure for professional competition.

The place shows a deep commitment to equestrian sport, visible in how the grounds are organized around riding courts and jumping areas designed for competition. Visitors can sense the tradition among riders and spectators who gather here for major tournaments.

The venue is easily accessed from the federal highway B57. Since the grounds spread across a large area, visitors should allow extra time to navigate between different competition fields or seating areas.

The grounds function as one of the largest open-air music venues in the region, with capacity for tens of thousands of concertgoers. This dual use as both an equestrian facility and concert space makes it a versatile event location.
