Max Aicher Arena
Stadium in Inzell, Germany From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Max Aicher Arena (in the past known as Eisstadion Inzell and Ludwig-Schwabl-Stadion) is a stadium located in Inzell, Germany, best known as a speed skating venue. It is an indoor, artificial ice rink, located 690 metres (2,264 feet) above sea level and has a capacity of 10,000 people. Since its opening, as an outdoor venue, towards the end of 1965, more than 80 world records in speed skating have been broken here, and until the advent of indoor speed skating arenas, it was known as the fastest European speed skating rink, second in the world after the Medeu rink.[citation needed]
The stadium is also used for ice hockey, ice speedway, and (in the summer months) roller skating.
History
About five kilometers north of Inzell is the Frillensee, one of the coldest lakes in Germany. Natural ice was prepared for speed skating and ice hockey and became a main training and competitions facility from 1959. The harsh winter conditions finally put an end to the Frillensee as a skating facility with the last German Championships held on 26–27 January 1963. In 1963 a natural ice stadium was built down the valley at Zwingsee and was converted into an artificial ice stadium in 1965. In 1965 the 400m artificial ice rink was built at the foot of the Falkenstein.[1]
