Dingolfing's ice hall, named for Marco Sturm in 2018
Dingolfing renamed its ice hall the Marco-Sturm-Eishalle in a small ceremony in 2018, shortly before making Sturm an honorary citizen; the town council had passed the resolution on 15 March 2018. Sturm began his career at EV Landshut as the youngest player ever used in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga, joined the San Jose Sharks from the 1997/98 season and played more than 1,000 NHL games, a German record. In 2018 the German national team he coached won silver at the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
In March 2026 the hall closed for the renewal of the ice surface and the boards. The work starts right after the end of the ice season so that a proper ice surface is ready for the new ice time in October. An ice surface is built in several layers, so taking it out and renewing it takes time. The perimeter and players' benches are renewed too, with about six months of building time.
