Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion was built in place of Dresden’s old stadium with the same name, which had stood in its place since 1923.<\/p>\n
By the 2000s, however, the old stadium had significantly aged, lacked modern facilities, and got further damaged during the 2002 Elbe floods.<\/p>\n
In 2006, the city of Dresden therefore decided to rebuilt the stadium, and two years later, in 2008, demolition of the old stadium began.<\/p>\n
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 \u20ac43 million.<\/p>\n
In 2010, the stadium changed names to gl\u00fccksgas 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.<\/p>\n
