look how they hold the roof with stand... like former roof of Trabzon Avni aker stadium.




ours will be better than this one. Actually I guess ours will be one of the most beautiful stadiums in Europe.

Nothing wrong with Berlin's roof. It's the most beautiful stadium I've been inside.

they have too, because it an historical building.
big supports outside the stadium or other high things were not allowed
max flat roof was the aim

so, the result is terrible. If we had it, I would be ashamed... a prestige stadium wich has avni aker style roof...

[RobH]

The result it beautiful

[Kuvvaci]

according to your limited taste. for me, it is too ugly, if there is a column ibfornt of me during the match, I say this is an archtecural catastraphe...

[RobH]

My limited taste? Hehe.

I've been in the stadium and the columns really are not a problem, it's a fantastically good and sensitve modernisation of an old stadium. It's an architectural masterpiece and the whole project of modernising this stadium was a quite brilliant feat of engineering and restoration.

Have a read of this:

I saw berlin's stadium only by the outside...but I think it's a very nice stadium, better than olimpico di roma and ataturk

Berlin´s stadium is from Hitler time.Hitler personaly was in this stadium in 1936 due Olympic Summer Games.For a stadium of 1936 it is very good.

But what would be the other solution?
How would you support the roof?

........and the gap in the stadium ring was a reason for the need of the columns. To close the roof above this gap was not possible for heritage reasons!

@kuvaci:

Your taste of architecture is strange. This stadium is classic and defintely one of the most impressive athletics stadiums!!

Nice view in this video (01:46-02:06)

[www.sercan.de]

yes. Supporting rings like at Stuttgart, Frankfurt are not possible in berlin, because of the gap in the stand

Next season to be wundered in bundesliga 2...
So when we´re going to dig out that terrible atletic track. I know not possible because of monument stuff, but a hypermodern lower the pitch (and away goes the track) thing should be possible no? Then things should be able to bring back in original state if nescesary?

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Why the hell would they butcher classic of Euro sports architecture? Hertha can't sell out even now, so there's no need for additional seats. What Hertha needs is new and far smaller stadium on other location. Leave this stadium alone

IMO this is the only stadium in the entire world that has a beautiful track ... it has alot to do with the areas surrrounding the track being grey instead of brown

[Herbie Fully Loaded]

I love this stadium.

Good memories..... in a such elegant stadium.............despite the defeat !!

[Köbtke]

The Olympia Stadion is one of my favourite stadiums in the World. It's superbly modernised and it looks so elegant and classe. As far as a regular week in-week out football stadium for a club it's not the best - but as a monument and international stadium and historic piece it's simply awesome.

Also I can't say I dislike the pillers in the stand at all. I would hate them in most stadiums but here it's done quite tastefully and as severl point out they're needed due to historic reasons.

North of the Olympiastadion, there is an aquatics stadium that was used for the swimming and water polo events of the 1936 Summer Olympics. It currently looks like it needs a refurbishment.

[thun]

It currently looks like a ruin (which it basicall is), to be exactly.
I doubt that it would make sense to renovate and reopen it as a public swimming pool. There are plenty of lakes around and Berlin has a state-of-the-art aquatics centre (with roof) in the Eastern part of the city.
