ZENTRALSTADION (1956)

Leipzig, Germany

Lokomotive Leipzig (1956-1996)

Zentralstadion was a multi-use stadium in Leipzig, Germany. It was initially used as the stadium of Lokomotive Leipzig matches. It was replaced by the current Zentralstadion in 2004. The capacity of the stadium was 100,000 spectators.

In 1956, the first Zentralstadion opened, at the time it was the biggest stadium in Europe being able to hold 100,000 spectators. However, over the years it fell in to disuse and was costing the city too much to maintain. In 1997, the city of Leipzig decided to build a new stadium within the old stadium, a modern state of the art stadium only for football. The new stadium was built from December 2000 till March 2004.
