What’s a stadium doing nestled in the heart of this historic city? You might ask yourself that, standing here before the Curt-Frenzel-Stadion. This isn’t just any stadium. It’s a monument to Augsburg’s enduring love affair with ice hockey. The Curt-Frenzel-Stadion has been the pulsating heart of ice hockey in Augsburg since its grand opening in 1938. Initially an open-air arena, it underwent a significant transformation in 1971 when it was finally roofed. This change was championed by none other than Curt Frenzel himself, a local publisher and passionate advocate for the sport. The stadium was later renamed in his honor. Over the decades, the Curt-Frenzel-Stadion has seen its fair share of thrilling matches, hosting the Augsburger Panther, the city’s beloved DEL team. But its story isn’t without its hiccups. During a major renovation in 2010, a newly built stand had to be torn down and rebuilt because it obstructed the view of the ice. Imagine the uproar among the fans! Today, the Curt-Frenzel-Stadion, fully modernized and enclosed, stands as a testament to Augsburg’s dedication to the sport, a place where the roar of the crowd echoes the city’s passion for ice hockey.
