Max-Reimann-Stadion, Multi-purpose stadium in Cottbus, Germany.
The Max-Reimann-Stadion is a sports facility with a natural grass pitch, synthetic running track, and spaces designed for track and field competitions within the Cottbus Sports Center. The grounds accommodate spectators across seating and standing areas while providing modern infrastructure for athletic and football events.
The facility was rebuilt after an earlier sports complex was destroyed during World War II, with reconstruction approved in 1948. Over the following decades, it developed into a major venue for athletic competitions in the Cottbus region.
The stadium is named after Max Reimann, the communist politician, and its grounds hosted handball and boxing as well as athletics and cycling. From 1990 it served as an open-air concert venue, beginning with a Udo Lindenberg concert. The preserved entrance gate and competition tower are protected monuments.
The grounds sit in the Cottbus sports centre, whose main pitch today belongs to the Brandenburg football association. The listed entrance gate and competition tower survive from the earlier complex, while the 2002 synthetic track serves athletics. The stadium holds up to 19,000 spectators, but only 4,999 during match operations.
The stadium preserves historical elements including its original entrance gate and competition tower from earlier construction phases. A modern synthetic running track was added later, showing how the facility adapted to contemporary standards.
