Hertha BSC stadium proposal in Berlin

Overview

Hertha BSC has been granted permission by an expert commission to pursue the construction of a new football stadium in Berlin’s Olympiapark. The proposed site is located along Jesse-Owens-Allee, where the currently unused Reiterstadion stands.

To proceed, the club must submit a preliminary building application to the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district and present a financing concept for the arena, which is intended to accommodate up to 52,000 spectators. The Berlin Senate has mandated that the project must not incur costs for the state, requiring Hertha BSC to cover all construction and development expenses. Furthermore, the club must demonstrate how the new venue can economically coexist with the existing Olympiastadion.

Sports Senator Iris Spranger expressed support for the commission’s recommendation, noting the importance of balancing development with the preservation of the Olympiapark. Club President Fabian Drescher stated that the organization is prepared to move forward with the application to evaluate legal and planning requirements.
