Stadion Gladbeck

Stadion Gladbeck is a football stadium in North Rhine-Westphalia featuring a natural grass field, a running track, and stands that originally held up to 37,612 spectators. The facility preserves its characteristic architecture from the early 20th century and serves both sporting events and other uses.

The stadium was built in 1928 and reflects the industrial growth of the town in the 20th century. After wartime destruction, citizens rebuilt it in 1947 and many original structural elements remain standing today.

The stadium is a protected monument that shows how deeply football matters to the town and its residents. The place reflects the long connection between sport and community life in the region.

The venue is located in the Butendorf district on Bohmertstraße and easy to reach. Visitors should know that the stadium is a protected monument, so capacity may be limited during events.

The stadium served as a film location in 2008, showing it is far more than just a sports ground. This use demonstrates the high value of the place for cultural and artistic productions.
