Stadium Overview

The Weser Stadion has been the home of Werder Bremen for nearly 100 years, and is one of the most distinctive looking stadiums in Germany due to its unique floodlights and its oval shape. It was originally used as a general sports.

Stadium History

The stadium was extensively remodelled in the 60's with a new roof added as well as the addition of 9,500 seats. During the 2001/02 season the biggest project took place when the pitch was lowered, allowing a further 8,000 seats to be added to the ground. The stadium has a dual capacity depending of the matches played – for normal Bundesliga matches the capacity is over 42,000, but this falls to around 35,000 for Internationals. The stadium also houses a museum, and holds regular tours of the ground.
