History of Weserstadion
The Weserstadion has a long and interesting history. It was first built in 1909 by a local sports club called Allgemeiner Bremer Turn- und Sportverein. Back then, it was just a simple sports field.
Early Changes and New Name
The stadium got its first big update in 1926. After this change, it was named ATSB Kampfbahn. The name we know today, Weserstadion, came about in 1930. This name was chosen because the stadium is located right by the Weser River. Since 1930, the Werder Bremen sports club has played their games here.
Modern Updates and Features
When the top German football league, the Bundesliga, started in 1963, the Weserstadion received its first covered grandstand. Over the next few decades, more grandstands were built and updated step by step. In 1992, the stadium became one of the first to add a special VIP box. This was a new feature for stadiums at the time.
