Start of construction for the three-court sports hall at the St. Wendel Sports Center
At the St. Wendel Sports Center, construction work for the new three-court sports hall has begun. The earthworks mark the starting shot for one of the largest infrastructure projects in the district town of St. Wendel.
The new hall will complement the existing sports center into a future-proof sports performance center. In the future, secondary schools as well as clubs will particularly benefit from optimal training and competition conditions. At the same time, the building will serve as an atmospheric arena with a counter grandstand for indoor sports competitions, thus creating the conditions for high-level sporting events with supraregional appeal.
The new three-court sports hall covers an area of approximately 4,000 square meters and offers, in addition to the sports hall with spectator stands, changing rooms, equipment, technical and functional rooms as well as modern sanitary facilities. The new building is complemented by a generously designed forecourt with direct access to the street.
The sports area itself can be flexibly divided into three separate courts, making it versatile for school and club sports. Around 1,000 spectators can be accommodated in the stands.
Mayor Peter Klär: “The start of construction for the three-court sports hall is a first step into the future of the sports city of St. Wendel. With the new building, we are investing in our children, our clubs, and creating new opportunities for recreational and competitive sports in our region.”
