Waldstadion

Away fans are located to the left of the east end of the stadium (the Ostkurve). The away section spans across both tiers, with away fans entering through sections 18-21 if they are in the lower tier and through sections 17-21 if they are in the upper tier.

The entire away end is equipped with safe standing rails, encouraging visiting supporters to stand throughout the match and helping to boost the atmosphere inside Deutsche Bank Park.

A typical away allocation inside Deutsche Bank Park is around 2,500.

The home of Eintracht Frankfurt underwent significant redevelopment between 2022 and 2023. It is the most recent upgrade of the stadium, noting that before the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Deutsche Bank Park also underwent some redevelopment.

The redevelopment saw the capacity of the stadium’s most popular stand, Nordwestkurve, increased. This, along with other changes, resulted in the stadium’s capacity going up to 58,000 from 51,500. A total of 20,000 standing zones were added to the upper tier of the Nordwestkurve stand.

Other changes at Deutsche Bank Park included an upgrade to the food shops, restrooms and installation of LED floodlights.

The stadium, traditionally known as the Waldstadion by fans, is located in Frankfurt and has been in operation for 98 years. Over the years, it has undergone various upgrades and redevelopment projects, with the most recent renovation completed in 2005. This renovation, which included the installation of a retractable roof, cost over €150 million.

The retractable roof was widely criticised during the Confederations Cup final in 2005 when a fault in the roof allowed a substantial amount of water to come down during a thunderstorm.

There have been various sponsor names since 2005 to rename the ground, including the Commerzbank-Arena for ten years, and now the stadium is called Deutsche Bank Park.

The stadium consists of four stands that are interconnected due to its bowl design, which is popular in football. The two stands located along the sides of the pitch are known as the Haupttribune and the Jürgen Grabowski Tribune. The stands at each end are referred to as the Nordwestkurve and the Ostkurve.

The loudest part of Deutsche Bank Park is the Nordwestkurve, as this entire stand is fitted with safe-standing rails.

Given that the ground is located on the southern edge of the city and is surrounded by forests, there aren’t many restaurants and bars near the ground.

Fans are advised to enjoy pre-match festivities in Frankfurt before using public transport to get to the stadium. Three options include:

• O’Dwyer’s Irish Bar – Klappergasse 19, 60594 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
• Four Corners –  Zeil 10, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
• Fox and Hound – Niedenau 2, 60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Money Museum

Situated just north of the city centre, Frankfurt’s Money Museum may not be for everyone, but it is undeniably interesting and unique. As its name indicates, the museum features numerous exhibitions related to the history of money. While it primarily focuses on Germany, its scope extends to include various aspects from around the world.

It is open from 09:00-17:00 local time Monday through Sunday (excluding Saturdays).

River cruise

If you would prefer a more relaxing activity where you can appreciate the beauty of Frankfurt a little more, we suggest a boat ride along the Main River.

Not only is the Main the largest tributary of the Rhine River, but it also curves its way through the city of Frankfurt, allowing for some excellent views on a boat.
