Originally known as DSC-Stadion an der Flora until 1969. The stadium has been a local landmark for decades. In 1953, the then Dortmunder SC 95 received the 40,000 square meter site from the city. The club initially leased the land. Later, it became the club’s property. The stadium was completed within a year. It originally held 8,000 spectators.
In 1956, Dortmunder SC 95 won the Westphalia Championship. They then rose to the second-tier II. Division West. The club failed to qualify for the new Regionalliga West in 1963. It then dropped into amateur ranks. In 1969, DSC merged with TuS Eintracht Dortmund. This formed TSC Eintracht Dortmund. The DSC-Stadion an der Flora then became the TSC-Stadion an der Flora. The footballers of TSC Eintracht never rose above the Landesliga. Today, the hockey department of TSC plays in the stadium.
