Rudolf-Tonn-Stadion

The Rudolf-Tonn-Stadion stands in Schwechat-Rannersdorf, a suburb of Schwechat in Lower Austria. It is a multi-purpose stadium surrounded by open ground, with a pitch at its centre and a modest stand on one side. The venue seats three thousand and offers standing room for another four thousand, giving it space for seven thousand spectators. SV Schwechat and Karabakh Wien play their home matches here, while FK Austria Wien and First Vienna FC once met in the opening fixture. The stadium has also staged Austrian Football League games and athletics meetings over the years. The ground takes its name from Rudolf Tonn, who once served as mayor of Schwechat. Tonn’s connection to the town is remembered in the stadium’s title, linking local civic life with sporting events. The opening match pitted two Vienna clubs against each other, marking the start of regular football at the ground. Since then the stadium has hosted league fixtures and athletic contests, showing its versatility beyond club football. Its modest size and straightforward design reflect its role as a community venue rather than a large arena. Visitors find a simple stadium with a single stand on one side of the pitch. The open areas around the ground allow clear views of the playing field from several angles. The pitch itself is marked for both football and athletics, with lanes visible when track events are held. The surrounding district is quiet, with low-rise buildings and open land nearby. The stadium’s modest scale makes it easy to reach and to move around, offering a straightforward sporting experience.
