Olympia Stadion in Berlin
| Opened: | August 1, 1936 |
| Seats: | 74.048 |
| Team: | Hertha BSC Berlin |
Visited on December 12, 2006 when I was in Berlin
for work.
I was invited by Mr. Kübler, manager merchandising and licenses of Hertha BSC.
Mr. Kübler also is managing director of
TopTeams, the main producer of mini-kits. He was kind enough to arrange a
quick tour in the Olympia Stadion.
The Olympia Stadion was built to host the 1936 Olympic games.
30 years later the lighting was installed. In 1974, before the world championships, a part of the stadium was roofed over.
In 2000 the latest renovations started and have been finished in 2004.
In 2006 the stadium hosted the 2006 world championships finals.
