Olympiastadion Berlin — Home of Hertha BSC
Home since 1963
Hertha BSC has called the Olympiastadion Berlin home since 1963. Today it seats 74,461 supporters—one of Germany's largest stadiums—and stands in the Olympiapark in Berlin-Westend, a monument to the city's sporting ambitions and the club's place within them.
A ground with its own history
The Olympiastadion was built in 1936 for the Berlin Olympics. Since then it has hosted the 2006 FIFA World Cup final and the 2015 UEFA Champions League final. Hertha's home carries a status that belongs to Berlin itself—a ground where the world's biggest matches have been played, now the stage for the Old Lady's matches.
Before the Olympiastadion
Before 1963, Hertha played elsewhere in Berlin. The Poststadion and the Stadion am Gesundbrunnen—known to supporters as the 'Plumpe'—held the club's early matches in the Gesundbrunnen district. The Plumpe especially lives in club memory as the beloved pre-war home where Berlin football was forged.
Matchday atmosphere
The Ostkurve is the pulse of Hertha's supporter culture—where the noise builds and the old songs carry. Before every home kick-off, Frank Zander's 'Nur nach Hause' rises from the stands, a Berlin tradition that binds the crowd and marks the moment when the match becomes real.
