Ernst Abbe stadium - Jena - light poles

The project

This is the Ernst Abbe stadium in East Germany, home to the FC Carl Zeiss Jena football club The sports park was built in 1924. Light poles were installed in 1974, and in 1978 it became the first East German stadium with an electronic scoreboard. The current state of the stadium was realized in 1998, when the wooden stand was replaced by a modern variant. The stadium can accommodate 15,610 spectators.


Our contribution

The proof zinc layer of the new masts was damaged. We repaired the damage at a height of 40 meters. An aerial platform was used to reach the top of the masts. The sense protection is the underlying steel. In case of damage to the sentence, this protection lapses. Our goal was therefore to fully restore the functionality of the zinc coating. This way the light towers can remain in use for as long as possible. In the long run this saves time and money. The functional lighting columns give stadium visitors a higher quality sports experience.
