The
new Munich football temple, perhaps the most beautiful stadium
in the world, is located in the immediate vicinity of our hotel.
Football is the centre of interest in the Allianz Arena, which
was conceived by Swiss star architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre
de Meuron, and built in the possibly record-breaking
construction time of two and a half years.
The arena in Munich seating 69,000 spectators is designed
uncompromisingly as a pure football stadium in the English
style, and depending on qualification per season offers the
perfect setting for about fifty games in the German First and
Second Division, German DFB Cup, UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions
league. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the Allianz Arena was
also the focus of the entire world as the home ground for the
opening match of the German national team and five other games.
Moreover, the largest contiguous multi-storey car park in Europe
- with 9,800 parking spaces over five levels - was created. The
outer skin of the façade - which consists of 2,760 transparent,
air-filled elements with an integrated light system - can be
illuminated in red, white or blue. With a length of 258 metres,
a width of 227 metres and a height of 50 metres, the oval also
impresses through unbelievable compactness and the three
steepest terraces in Europe. |
