After ten months’ construction time, the handball team’s new home was opened last Saturday amidst boisterous festivities. Fans and friends of VfL Gummersbach proudly celebrated the opening of their new handball temple, the “Schwalbe Arena”, with a magnificent pageant through the city centre. The newly built “Heiner-Brand-Platz” square in front of the arena was completed on time for the opening and personally inaugurated by Heiner Brand himself, who was obviously moved by the effort made in his honour. The new building was completed on time despite the harsh winter, which hampered construction work. The Schwalbe Arena was designed by Düsseldorf architectural experts HPP and erected on the former Steinmüller site in Gummersbach. Designed to accommodate a good 4,300 spectators, the arena is around twice the size of the Eugen-Haas-Halle where the team formerly played its home games. Three of the four stands are retractable, while a fourth is permanently installed. The innovative design means the arena can be converted to accommodate a handball training field for VfL and three school sports fields if required. 3,189 seats and standing room for over 800 fans as well as eight boxes with over 80 VIP seats offer Gummersbach supporters and guests a new dimension in terms of capacity at the team’s home games. In a record construction period of only ten months and two days, BAM Sports successfully completed an admirable new home for VfL Gummersbach, a club steeped in sporting tradition. The new venue for staging emotionally charged, gripping handball matches is now ready for use!
