Klingenhalle, Indoor sports complex in Solingen, Germany
Klingenhalle is a sports complex in Solingen that brings together different athletic facilities in one location. A main indoor arena accommodates multiple sports, while separate pools serve swimmers of all levels.
The facility was established in 1973 after local sports clubs requested new training and competition spaces. A major modernization in the early 2010s brought it up to contemporary standards.
The Klingenhalle hosted home matches of the handball Bundesliga club Bergischer HC until 2024, alternating with the Uni-Halle in Wuppertal. Since the 2023/24 season, the club no longer plays Bundesliga games here. Previously, the SG Solingen used the hall for first-division handball from 2000 to 2002.
The complex is easily accessible and offers ample parking for visitors. During events it can become crowded, so arriving early is helpful for a better experience.
The pool hall was extended northward from April 2010 with a 25-metre pool, funded by the Konjunkturpaket II stimulus programme at a cost of about 6.8 million euros. After 13 months of construction, the pool opened to the public on 7 September 2011, which allowed the indoor pool in Ohligs to close.
