Commerzbank-Arena, Frankfurt Progress is built on ideas.

Hesse’s biggest sports complex With the inauguration of the new World Cup stadium, a stateof-the-art multifunctional arena for roughly 50,000 spectators, a new football era began within the bounds of the Confederations Cup in Frankfurt in June 2005. Reconstruction of the previous “Waldstadion” into the new Commerzbank Arena, one of twelve venues of the 2006 World Cup, not only comes up to the extensive FIFA guidelines. With the sports field located in the municipal forest, Frankfurt City also has a spot that is steeped in tradition showing a high identification value. As the most important component...

The polygonal reinforced concrete skeleton structure of the Commerzbank Arena required highest precision in measurement when the 18,874 prefabricated concrete parts were installed. Rapid progress of construction work by means of prefabricated parts Conversion in five construction phases The big project with its significant media towers that are up to 65 m high on both sides of the outside staircase comprised the whole blueprint, approval and implementation planning, the gradual deconstruction of the old stadium as well as the turnkey functional new building in five construction stages. Carrying...

Drilling stages with three gradients per prefabricated part form the central element when building the spectator stands. Surrounding double supports in a distance of roughly 16 m support the upper tier. Following the „big lift“ of the radial and ring ropes, assembly of the remaining roof roofs could be started: Catwalk, profiled sheeting and exterior roof. Polygonal efficiency The polygonal reinforced concrete skeleton structure of the Commerzbank Arena required highest precision in measurement when the 18,874 prefabricated concrete parts were installed.

The world’s biggest convertible From mounting platforms on the pressure ring, lifting and clamping cylinders were mounted, by means of which the structure The filigree roof structure consisting of radial and ring consists of 44 fields which are ropes was lifted. With bolting aligned to steel supports resting on the top step of the stands in of the lower radial ropes, the tensioning process was of the upper tier.

As the previous track-and-field facilities were dropped, a mere football stadium with an unforgettable atmosphere was created. Adventure stadium for the young and the young at heart The starting point for designing spectator stands for one thing is the wish of football fans to sit as close as possible where the action is and to be able to have an unobstructed look at the field. On the other hand it was necessary to come up to the request of the operating company to optimally market catering areas and VIP areas. With the conversion into a pure football stadium for more than 52,000 spectators the...
