About Stadion an der Hafenstraße
- Sight
Stadion an der Hafenstraße is one of Essen’s most recognizable landmarks for sports and live events. Set in the northern part of the city, it offers a strong matchday atmosphere shaped by close stands, clear sightlines, and the feeling of being right in the middle of the action. The venue is especially known for the energy created by local supporters, which gives games a distinctly intense and authentic character.
As the home ground of Rot-Weiss Essen and a venue used by SGS Essen as well, the stadium plays an important role in the city’s sporting life. Its modern layout and capacity of around 20,000 spectators make it suitable for football, special events, and concerts. For visitors, the highlight is the combination of tradition, community spirit, and contemporary stadium comfort in a location that remains closely tied to the identity of Essen.
