Historic olympic stadium of Berlin

The Olympic stadium (Olympiastadion) is a sports stadium in Berlin, Germany. It was originally built between 1934 and 1936 for the 1936 Summer Olympics by architect Werner March.

 

Since renovations in 2004 for the 2006 Football World Cup, the Olympiastadion has a permanent capacity of 74,475 seats and is the largest stadium in Germany for international football matches.

 

Besides its use as an athletics stadium, the arena has built a footballing tradition. Since 1963, it has been the home ground of the Hertha BSC football team. It hosted three matches in the 1974 FIFA World Cup. It was renovated for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, when it hosted six matches, including the final. The German Cup (DFB-Pokal) final match is held each year at the venue. The Olympiastadion Berlin served as a host for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup as well as the 2015 UEFA Champions League Final.
