Olympic Stadium Berlin, November 20th
On the edge of the Grunewald in the west of Charlottenburg the great oval of the Olympic Stadium lies at the heart of spacious grounds.
The Berlin Olympic Stadium was constructed for the Olympic Summer Games of 1936 under the general architectural direction of architect Werner March. Prior to the reunification of the two German states in 1990 the stadium was restored and modernised on several occasions.

The most spectacular change is the stadium roof which sets new technological standards. The roof opens at the Marathon Gate providing a view of the “Glockenturm” bell tower. After renovation was completed in 2004 the Olympic Stadium returned to the ranks of Europe’s most modern sports and multifunctional arenas. Major sporting events are now on the stadium’s regular agenda.
The stadium pitch was lowered by about two-and-a-half metres to meet not only the FIFA specifications for international football matches but also the strict conditions laid down by the International Association of Athletics Federations IAAF.
The result was a success: Berlin won the bid to host the 2009 World Championships in Athletics.
