Stadium Information
Voith-Arena, home of FC Heidenheim, is one of the smallest and most intimate stadiums in the Bundesliga. Opened in 1972 and gradually expanded as the club climbed the German football pyramid, the stadium sits on the Schlossberg hill overlooking the town of Heidenheim an der Brenz. Its compact, football-focused layout brings supporters extremely close to the pitch, creating a strong connection between fans and players.
With a capacity of around fifteen thousand, the venue featuresa natural grass surface and steep stands on all sides. Matchdays at the Voith-Arena are defined by community pride and intensity rather than scale. Supporters gather throughout the town before walking up toward the stadium, creating a steady buildup ahead of kickoff. Inside, the noise generated by a relatively small crowd is amplified by the tight bowl and roofed sections, giving the ground a reputation for being difficult for visiting teams. The atmosphere is direct, loud and
rooted in local identity, reflecting Heidenheim’s rise from the lower leagues to the top flight.
Access to the stadium is primarily via local roads, buses and walking routes from the town centre. Parking is available in designated areas, though space is limited due to the hillside location. Accessibility features include step-free routes, wheelchair platforms, adapted toilets and supporter assistance services. The setting above the town provides distinctive views across the surrounding countryside. For FC Heidenheim, the Voith-Arena represents achievement, sustainability and a Bundesliga presence built on careful growth rather than scale.
