Competition
The sports arena to be built in the former Patton Barracks in the Kirchheim district of Heidelberg impresses with its multifunctionality. Sliding telescopic stands can be used to create different playing field sizes that are just as suitable for school sports as for home games of the local basketball club or handball club.
For example, there are around 5,000 seats available for spectators for basketball games and around 4,100 seats for handball games. The hall also has six boxes and a business area and offers space for activities such as concert events and congresses.
The curved, transparent facade of the building refers to the striking, hilly landscape of the Odenwald. Many small “air bubbles” also allow for views and insights from the outside. The red interior is planned based on the red sandstone that predominates in Heidelberg.
