Jahnstadion, Athletics stadium in Neubrandenburg, Germany
Jahnstadion is a sports facility with a natural grass pitch, a running track, and seating for approximately 8,180 spectators across covered and uncovered sections. The complex includes nine changing rooms, visitor facilities, and a multipurpose area for various sports.
The facility opened in 1957 and underwent multiple transformations over the decades, with significant updates in 1963, 1996, and 2003. A comprehensive renovation between 2011 and 2012 brought substantial improvements to the infrastructure.
The stadium takes its name from Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, the pioneer of modern gymnastics, reflecting how deeply sport is rooted in this city. Visitors can see this through the many training groups that use the facility year-round.
The grounds are conveniently located near the city center and accessible by public transport, with parking available for cars. Accessible entrances serve most areas of the stadium for both spectators and athletes.
The stadium hosted the 36th Junior Championships of the GDR in 1987 and retained its role as a key athletics hub for the region. This connection to a major sporting event from that era shapes how locals view the place.
