Zentralstadion, Sports venue and cultural heritage monument in Leipzig, Germany.
The Zentralstadion stands in Leipzig with a capacity of 100,000 spectators, featuring substantial concrete structures and wide seating arrangements throughout multiple tiers.
The stadium opened in 1956 after 180,000 volunteers spent 15 months constructing it using materials recovered from buildings damaged during World War II.
Between 1957 and 2004, the Zentralstadion attracted 2,812,000 visitors to international matches of the East Germany national football team.
The stadium's location west of Leipzig city center provides direct access through multiple transportation routes and parking facilities for thousands of attendees.
The new Red Bull Arena was built inside the original Zentralstadion structure, preserving the historical outer walls while creating a modern sports facility.
