Mittelhessen-Arena
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Buderus Arena Wetzlar is a multipurpose indoor event facility located in Wetzlar, Germany. It hosts sports matches, concerts and exhibitions and is the home venue of the HSG Wetzlar handball team.[1][2] The Arena is located beside Wetzlar railway station and the Forum Wetzlar shopping centre. The three establishments share a multistorey car park.
It was opened as the Mittelhessen-Arena in March 2005,[3] a few weeks after the opening of the neighbouring shopping centre. From 1 March 2006 the Arena was named the Rittal Arena Wetzlar, with nearby industrial firm Rittal obtaining the naming rights.[4] Rittal's sponsorship ran until the end of 2021 and the venue became the Buderus Arena Wetzlar from 1 January 2022, when title sponsorship passed to Wetzlar-based Bosch Thermotechnik, owner of the Buderus brand.[5][6][7]
The nominal capacity of the Arena for sporting events is around 4,500 seats, depending on the regulations of the sport involved and up to 6,000 for other purposes.[8] It was one of the venues for the 2007 World Men's Handball Championship and hosted the Bundesvision Song Contest 2006.[9]
