Central Stadium (German: Zentralstadion, German pronunciation: [tsɛnˈtra:lˈʃta:di̯ɔn]) was a multi-use stadium in Leipzig, Germany. It was initially used as the stadium of 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig matches. In 2004, it was renovated into the current Zentralstadion. The capacity of the stadium was 120,000 spectators. The stands were built of the 1,5 million Cubic metre debris of Bombing of Leipzig in World War II. The name came after the Soviet society which was using the term Central Stadium for their stadiums within the towns.

Final review[edit]

After the 1896 Summer Olympics, the city of Leipzig begun to plan a stadium in its town. The Zentralstadion was built first for the sports students within the Sportforum Leipzig, as stadium of 100,000. Beside it was the Olympic style swimming stadium. After the sports university, rowing channel and the swimming stadium, they began to plan for a new stadium downtown. The citizen s wanted to get the Olympic Games for Leipzig. They used the blueprints of the architect Werner March, the architect of the Olympiastadion (Berlin). To finish the plan, they needed only 15 months. The reason is that 180,000 volunteers worked there without salary. Walter Ulbricht himself named the stadium into "Stadion der Hunderttausend" (stadium of 100,000). He decided that the German Gym and Sports Celebrations must take place there only.[2][3][4][5][6] Willy Tröger was a disabled player who played with an amputated right arm and shot a final goal for the GDR national team, 1957.[7] First soccer teams from other cities and towns were the Honved Budapest and 1.FC Kaiserslautern. The next events with filled stadium is the Friedensfahrt. The state actor Uwe Steimle told:" It is not a noticeable society with power." The best club soccer event there was the won semifinal match of the 1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup.[8] The only one match in Leipzig that soccer fans still know. Up to 1987, the stadium was still up to date. 1977 they got better flood lights with more lumens, but had the problem that the houses of beside the stadium had power cuts during matches. Peoples had no light in their flats (Leipzig Waldstraßen District). It is still the German stadium with the most spectators during a match. For matches of the GDR national team attendance is regularly 80,000 up to 120,000 spectators.

Architecture[edit]

The Olympic Stadium, Berlin and the stadium here have a few similarities. Both had the same architects and had 100,000 seats. Both stadiums can be reached in nearly the same time with the public transportation systems and the highways. Than begun the time of differences: In Leipzig they did say it is too expensive to have this big stadium without roof. In Berlin they did say the stadium needs only new seats and a new roof. In Berlin they did say that they will get more spectators, after the renovation. In Leipzig with the one of the bet public infrastructure they said it would come less spectators. In Leipzig the renovation would be expensive for only the seats, fences and roof. In 2006 they got for the international matches over 70,000 ticket requests, during the Soccer World Cup. The new Red Bull Arena (Leipzig) costs more than the old stadium and has less spectators. Would they have more seats they would increase their financial earn. And they would get more spectators in Leipzig, due the ability to have other sport competitions and other soccer finals in this stadium. If they would really have too less spectators (which is nonsense), they had the chance to block the sections for only 40,000 seats and build the other 60,000 when they will need them. Finally they had a better stadium with character what is cheaper, when they had only bought a new roof and seats with fences. Anybody could come and say: your stadium is too small for our stars, teams competitions. Leipzig has enough hotels and many opportunities. It is not a hicksville. Finally the stadium can nevertheless being expanded again, up to 100,000 or even larger. On all sides can be attached/ reopened the old new extra stands which are more flatter, due the roof installation is anchored inside the outwards- wall. The old roof is part of the new and must be central located on all sides, with the new parts. A facade is needed and would create new rooms for the necessities. Hurdle is the Federal Ministry of the Interior in Germany which is practically trying to sabotage this project within of media, architects, building contractor, inventing of new laws to make all expensive and a lack of qualified personal. Motivation is a paranoia, that all in Eastern Germany must be worsen than in Western Germany. In addition it has approved that the stadium in side the Central- Stadium have been built to create it acoustic quiet. The blocks behind the goals are the reason for the atmosphere in nearly all stadiums in the World. These are nevertheless the smallest, have a smaller roof above and the 9.8 foot big wall, wich blocks sound and fans far from the pitch.[29]
