History of the Reichshofstadion

The Reichshofstadion was built between 1952 and 1953. When it was first built, it was a multi-purpose stadium. This means it had a running track around the field, not just for football.

The stadium can hold up to 8,800 people. Out of these, 2,126 seats are covered by a roof. There are also 2,390 covered standing places and 4,284 uncovered standing places. This gives fans many options to watch the games.

The Hugo Kleinbrod Chapel

On August 3, 2007, a special chapel inside the stadium was blessed. Fans of Austria Lustenau can even get married there! The chapel is named after Hugo Kleinbrod. He was a kind person who helped children and orphans after World War II.

Club Colors and Stadium Stands

In May 2011, some supporters of FC Lustenau painted parts of the stadium. They colored the main stand and a ticket booth in their club's color, blue. Before this, these parts were green, which is the color of Austria Lustenau.
