Built in 1945/46 on the orders of an American colonel

The Colonel-Knight-Stadion was built in the winter of 1945/46 on the orders of the American Colonel Paul Rutherford Knight, then local commander of the Allied forces, at the edge of the Kurpark. Construction began on 8 October 1945 with the plan of finishing in 100 days, and the opening took place on the evenings of 22 and 23 January 1946.

At the time its 60-by-35-metre ice surface was the largest in Europe. The stadium now holds 4,445 spectators, and the ice hockey team of EC Bad Nauheim plays its DEL2 home games here. VfL Bad Nauheim was a founding member of the German top league in 1948/49, and the pair skaters Marika Kilius and Franz Ningel began their careers on this ice.

The arena started as the 100-Tage-Stadion, became the Kunsteisstadion Bad Nauheim when it was roofed in 1969, and has carried its builder's name since 1999. The roof and lighting were renewed in a later renovation.
