FISCHERWIESE

Chemnitz, Germany

Stadion an der Gellertstraße is a single-use football stadium in Chemnitz, Germany and the home stadium of Chemnitzer FC. Between 1950 and 1990, the stadium was called "Dr. Kurt-Fischer-Stadion". The stadium was later nicknamed the "Fischerwiese".

The construction of the stadium began on 31 July 1933 on former horseriding grounds. The finished stadium was inaugurated on the 13th May 1934 with a friendly between PSV Chemnitz and SpVgg Greuther Fürth in front of 25,000 spectators. The match finished 5–1 to the home side. Up until the end of the World War II, the stadium served as the home stadium for PSV. After the War, SG Chemnitz Nord, precursor to FC Karl-Marx-Stadt, took over the use of stadium. On 13 July 1950, Chemnitz City Council decided to change name the stadium after the communist politician and Interior Minister of Saxony, Kurt Fischer, as he had died shortly before. On 18 November 1953, the record attendance was recorded at a second division match between Chemie Karl-Marx-Stadt and Fortschritt Weißenfels when 27,300 people turned up to see the home side win 3–0.
