Rosenaustadion is amulti-purpose stadium inAugsburg,Bavaria,Germany. Built in 1951, it is a heritage listed monument and was the largest stadium in Augsburg for 58 years until 2009 when theAugsburg Arena was opened. With a spectator capacity of 32,354, it is primarily used forfootball matches andtrack & field athletics events. It is the current home ground forFC Augsburg Women andFC Augsburg II. It is the former home of theFC Augsburg men's first team, who played at the ground between 1951 and 2009.
The stadium was built from 1949, using debris from the aerial bombings of theSecond World War. The original plans for the stadium however go back to 1926. A temporarynarrow gauge railway line ran from 1946 from the city centre to the construction site, carrying 185,000 tonnes of debris to be used at the new stadium.
The Rosenaustadion was opened on 16 September 1951 with a Germany versus Austria football match, a B-international, drawing a crowd of 51,000.
From 1951 to 1972 the Rosenaustadion possessed an outstanding meaning for German sport, particularly in the disciplines of football andathletics, due to its size and modernity. With the opening ofMunich'sOlympiastadion for the1972 Summer Olympics, this position was lessened. Despite this, the stadium did host fivefootball matches during these games.
The record attendance of FC Augsburg dates from 1973 with the game against the 1. FC Nürnberg with 42,000 spectators. The highest attendance at a football game was nearly 65,000 spectators on 9 November 1952 with the international match Germany – Switzerland.
The total record is from the year 1958, as 85.000 came to see the athletics team of Germany defeating the Russian team.
The record crowd for the home side FC Augsburg is 45,000, which attended the game in theRegionalliga Süd versus1. FC Nürnberg on 3 August 1974.
