The main building of the sports grounds occupying a total area of six hectares encloses one corner of a large outdoor sports field, the other side of which is bordered by railway lines leading to the central station. The longer component of the construction, lined by a generous elevated terrace area, is composed of a singular structure followed by a series of four metallic blocks – like railway carriages behind a locomotive. A glazed corridor with a view of the outside sports areas connects the blocks containing multi-purpose halls, a janitor building and a restaurant with entrance foyer.


The shorter perpendicular component of the main construction contains a large sports hall that is divisible into three parts, as well as changing, fitness and equipment rooms. The sports hall is connected to the foyer and can be used as a venue for 600 visitors. A separate additional long structure containing changing rooms serves and partitions the outdoor sports areas. The metallic façades make reference to the club's tradition as a railway sports club and the adjacent rail tracks.

Comment:
A design by Raupach Architekten was revised by Fritsch+Tschaidse and developed further in the execution planning phase.
