Auestadion, Sports stadium in Kassel, Germany
The Auestadion is a sports stadium in Kassel featuring a main grandstand with steel roof, multiple seating sections, and a professional running track for competitions. The facility offers approximately 8,700 seats and standing areas for spectators.
The stadium opened in 1953 on the site of a former parade ground, built from approximately 100,000 cubic meters of World War II rubble. Between 2003 and 2010, the facility underwent extensive renovation with a new east stand and modern video systems.
The stadium serves as home to football club KSV Hessen Kassel and hosts track and field competitions at the national level. Visitors experience the local sports culture of the city through fans cheering for their teams.
The stadium is located near Karlsaue park and is accessible by tram lines 5, 6, and RegioTram RT5. Visitors should allow time for travel and check in advance which entrances are open for specific events.
The stadium has a notable post-war reconstruction story: it was built primarily from rubble and debris left over from World War II in the city. This material reuse made the construction possible as Kassel itself was rebuilding.
