History and description

Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion was built in place of Dresden’s old stadium with the same name, which had stood in its place since 1923.

By the 2000s, however, the old stadium had significantly aged, lacked modern facilities, and got further damaged during the 2002 Elbe floods.

In 2006, the city of Dresden therefore decided to rebuilt the stadium, and two years later, in 2008, demolition of the old stadium began.

The new Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion officially opened on 15 September 2009 with a friendly between Dynamo Dresden and Schalke 04 (1-2). The stadium had come at a cost of €43 million.

In 2010, the stadium changed names to glücksgas stadion following a sponsorship deal. This deal laster four years, after which it referred back to the name Stadion Dresden. In 2016, a new sponsorship deal with the DDV media group resulted in the name DDV-Stadion, which lasted two years.
