Germany's southernmost ice centre, opened in 1958 and later a national figure-skating training base
The Eissportzentrum Oberstdorf began as an artificial-ice stadium without a roof, opened on 29 December 1958 with an international show. The roof followed within a few years so the rink could be used in summer, and top skaters came to train here as early as the build-up to the Squaw Valley Olympics. Pairs such as Maika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Bäumler were regular guests in the 1960s, and curling was introduced at the end of that decade.
In 1969 the German skating union chose Oberstdorf for a national training centre, and the stadium later received the title of Bundesleistungszentrum for figure skating. Two further halls under one roof and a boarding school with 25 beds were built between 1977 and 1981.
Today the centre has three halls: Hall 1 has room for 2,600 spectators, Hall 2 holds about 100 and is used for curling and ice-stock shooting as well as public sessions, and Hall 3 holds 500. About 150,000 visitors come each year.
