The Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion is a stadium located in Stuttgart, Germany. Before 1993 it was called Neckarstadion, named after the river Neckar, which is only a short distance away.

History The stadium was originally built in 1933 after designs by German architect Paul Bonatz. After It was built, it was named "Adolf-Hitler-Kampfbahn". From 1945 to 1949 it was called Century Stadium and later Kampfbahn and was used by US Troops to play baseball.The name Neckarstation was used since 1949. It is home to VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga (football) (and to the Stuttgarter Kickers when they played in the Bundesliga )

After a major refurbishment in the late 1980s and early 1990s partly financed by Daimler-Benz, the Stuttgart town council dedicated the stadium to Gottlieb Daimler. The inventor had tested both the first motorcycle and the first 4-wheel automobile there in the 1880s, on the road from Cannstatt to Untertürkheim (now called Mercedesstraße). The new museum, the headquarters and a factory of Mercedes-Benz are nearby.

The stadium capacity is currently around 58,000, after completion of the current refurbishment of the Eastern stand in 2005.

It is divided into four sections,

the Haupttribüne (main stands), adjacent to Mercedesstraße, housing VIP-lounges and press seats
the EnBW-Tribüne (formerly Gegentribüne, lit: opposite stands), currently named after VfB Stuttgart's main sponsor EnBW
the Cannstatter Kurve (Cannstatt Curve), to the left of the Haupttribüne, housing Blocks A, B, and C, occupied by the most devoted home fans, and one of two video walls
the Untertürkheimer Kurve (Untertürkheim Curve), to the right of the Haupttribühne, housing the guest team's fans (D-Block) and the second video wall

The Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion features a unique roof construction, making it easily recognizable. Made of precision-tailored membranes of PVC-coated polyester, the roof tissue is durable enough to withstand 1,000kg of weight per square decimeter. It is suspended from an aesthetic steel frame that runs around the entire stadium weighing approximately 2,700 metric tons. The steel cables connecting the roof to the frame alone weigh about 420 tons. The roof wasn't added until the refurbishment preceding the 1993 World Championships in Athletics.

International matches The Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion hosted four matches of the 1974 FIFA World Cup, two matches of the 1988 UEFA European Football Championship (a 1st Round match and a semi-final) and six games of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, including a Round of 16 game and the third-place playoff match (see below for details).

The stadium also hosted the finals of the UEFA Champions League (now known as UEFA Champions League) in European Cup 1958-59 (Real Madrid vs. Stade de Reims) and European Cup 1987-88 (PSV Eindhoven vs. SL Benfica).

Trivia

As Stuttgart is located relatively close to Germany's southern neighbors Switzerland national football team, it has hosted a total of seven international football matches versus the Swiss since 1911.

Germany national football team's first international football match after World War II in 1950 (against Switzerland) was played at the stadium. The match attendance of 103,000 is the stadium record. The first match after the German reunification in 1990 (also versus Switzerland) took place at Daimler Stadium as well.

Klaus Fischer scored Germany's "ARD Goal of the Century" here against the Swiss in 1977, with a bicycle kick ("Fallrückzieher"), his trademark move with which he also scored the important 3:3 equalizer in extra time (108th minute) at the 1982 FIFA World Cup vs France, but this was not among the Top 10 of the WC Goal of the Century.

With 115 m² each, the stadium's two video walls are the largest in Europe.

Along with the Olympic Stadium (Berlin), the Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion was the only stadium hosting games during the 2006 FIFA World Cup whose name was not changed to FIFA World Cup Stadium XYZ, as the dedication to Gottlieb Daimler was not interpreted as advertisement (i.e. for DaimlerChrysler). All others, such as the Allianz-Arena in Munich or the AOL-Arena in Hamburg were obliged to remove all visual references to their stadiums' Allianz AOL.

Sports other than football The European Athletics Championships of 1986 and the World Athletics Championships of 1993 were held there, and the Daimler-Stadium will be the host the IAAF World Athletics final from 2006 to 2008. The arena has also been the venue of several Eurobowl finals of American Football in the 1990s.
