Frankfurt's municipal ice hall opened in 1981 and is home to the Löwen Frankfurt
The Eissporthalle Frankfurt opened on 19 December 1981 with an area of 9,075 square metres and 6,996 standing and seated places. The first spade went in on 11 June 1980, the build took 18 months, and the architects Heil & Deyle designed it from the start for more than one use.
The rink calls its connected ice the largest in Germany. The Große Halle, home of the Löwen Frankfurt, has 1,800 square metres; the Kleine Halle has 675; the Außenring is a full 400-metre stadium lap, twelve metres wide, joined to the inner surfaces by ice paths. The Löwen grew out of the youth club Young Lions in 2010 and returned to the DEL in 2022.
More than half a million people come to the building every year. Michael Schumacher drove a charity kart race on the ice in 2003, and a major renovation followed in 2018, 36 years after the opening.
