Guided Story

Can you feel the echoes of history around you? Just imagine the roar of the crowds that filled these stands back in the 1920s. This place was once known as Stadion am Ostragehege and was the heart of the Dresdner SC. Behind you, towards the Marienbrücke, flows the Elbe, a silent witness to countless athletic triumphs and tragedies. And think about Heinz Steyer, for whom the stadium is named. He wasn't just a talented footballer but also a symbol of resistance during World War II. The renovations may have brought modernity here, but the stories and the spirit remain as vibrant as ever.
