Netzsch-Arena, Indoor ice rink in Selb, Germany
Netzsch-Arena is an indoor ice rink in Selb with a main ice surface surrounded by seating for roughly 4,000 spectators, including covered sections. The venue accommodates ice hockey, figure skating, and ice stock sports within its enclosed structure.
Construction started in 1976 and the building opened in 1977 for its first match. It was created as a home for the local ice hockey club and has shaped the town's sports life ever since.
The arena is home to the VER Selb ice hockey club, whose first team is known as the Selber Wölfe; the club's office and fan shop are housed in the building. On Monday evenings the Alte Luchse team of EC Erkersreuth trains here and plays friendly and old-timer tournaments. The rink also hosts the club's youth sections, ice stock sport players and roller and figure skaters.
The arena has 3,983 spectator places, 733 of them seats, and 8 wheelchair spaces reachable directly by lift. The building covers 4,432 m², measures 73 m by 59 m and rises to 17 m. Public skating and hobby ice hockey share the rink with club training, so check the current operating days before travelling.
The building was constructed using substantial amounts of steel and timber to achieve both stability and the necessary interior height for sporting events. This solid construction has allowed the structure to endure for decades without major changes.
