Flensburger Stadion, Sports stadium in Flensburg, Germany
Flensburger Stadion is a football ground with an athletics track in the Fruerlund district of Flensburg, part of the Volkspark and listed as a cultural monument. It is the home venue of Sportverein Flensburg 08 and, unlike the Manfred-Werner-Stadion in Weiche, cannot host security-risk matches.
The stadium opened on July 3, 1927, marking its debut with the 18th Turner Festival of the Nordmark region. Since then it has remained central to Flensburg's sporting history.
The stadium is part of the Volkspark, laid out from 1925, and is listed as a cultural monument of Fruerlund. Its name is often shortened to Stadion Flensburg-Mürwik, and the ground is home to the sports club Flensburg 08. The city contributes about 210,000 euros a year to maintain the ageing facilities.
The stadium is located at Arndtstraße 5 and forms part of the larger Volkspark complex, making it easier to navigate the surrounding area. Visitors should plan ahead for larger events to ensure they have enough time to arrive and find their way around.
On 17 May 1981 the stadium hosted the so-called WM-Comeback-Spiel between Germany and England, played almost exactly 15 years after the Wembley goal. The ground was sold out with 14,000 spectators, and both sides fielded well-known world-class players.
