Jahnstadion Regensburg (1926)

The Jahnstadion stands in Regensburg, a city in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria. It was a football stadium built in 1926 and once held 12,500 spectators. The stadium hosted five football matches during the 1972 Summer Olympics. It served as the home ground for SSV Jahn Regensburg until 2015. In 2017, most of the stadium was demolished to make way for new apartments and a school. The site remains a landmark tied to Regensburg’s sporting history. The original structure was a key venue for local football for nearly a century. Its role in the 1972 Olympics gave it wider recognition beyond the city. The demolition marked the end of an era for the stadium. Today, traces of its past can still be found in the surrounding area. Visitors to the site will see modern buildings where the stadium once stood. The location still carries the name Jahnstadion, linking it to its sporting legacy. The area around the former stadium has been transformed into a residential and educational space. The change reflects Regensburg’s growth and shifting urban priorities. The site serves as a reminder of the city’s past while embracing new development.
