Stadium Information
Weser-Stadion, home of SV Werder Bremen, is one of Germany’s most recognisable riverside football venues. Opened in 1924 and gradually modernised over the decades, the stadium sits directly on the banks of the River Weser, giving it a distinctive setting within the city of Bremen. Major renovations between 2008 and 2011 transformed the ground into a contemporary, football-focused arena while retaining its traditional footprint.
With a capacity of around forty-two thousand, the stadium features a natural grass pitch and continuous tiers that provide clear sightlines and strong acoustics throughout the bowl. Matchdays at Weser-Stadion carry a relaxed but passionate atmosphere shaped by Bremen’s football culture. Supporters arrive by foot, bicycle and public transport, often
following riverside paths and bridges toward the ground. Inside, the Ostkurve leads the vocal support, generating sustained noise that reflects the club’s loyal fanbase. The stadium’s roof
design helps retain sound, while modern concourses offer efficient circulation and a wide range of food and drink options typical of Bundesliga matchdays.
The stadium is well connected by tram routes, bus services and nearby road links, though limited parking encourages the use of public
transport and cycling. Accessibility features include step-free routes, lifts, wheelchair seating platforms, adapted toilets and dedicated assistance services. The surrounding area includes parks, river paths and residential districts that create a distinctive matchday approach. For SV Werder Bremen, Weser-Stadion remains a symbol of continuity and identity, blending tradition, location and modern Bundesliga standards.
