Olympic Stadium
On 26 August 1972 eighty thousand people watched 121 teams march through the marathon gate into the Olympic stadium in Munich. In brilliant sunshine, which made the tent roof construction look even more impressive, visitors from everywhere on Earth and the "Youth of the World" united to show an unforgettable display of colours. The XX Olympic Summer Games had started.
Since then the Olympic stadium has repeatedly been a national and international centre.
World class on the eight tracks and in the areas for long jump and triple jump, high jump, discus, hammer, javelin and shot-put, the most recent events being the European Athletics Championships 2002, the pre-Olympic Team Challenge 2004 and the Spar European Cup in 2007.
This stadium has been used with enthusiasm not only to celebrate records at championships and international competitions but also to enjoy open-air festivals. Guests on stage have included f.e. Tina Turner, Bon Jovi and U2. By the way, the Olympic stadium celebrated its open-air premiere with the appearance of The Rolling Stones in 1982. In 2006 six open air shows took place in the Olympic Stadium - still the record of one year, it was the year when Robbie Williams marked a unique record with three sold out concerts within three days in a row and over 210.000 spectators!
But nothing else has made the Olympic stadium so famous as football: Gerd Müller scored the goal in 1974 to make the German national team the world football champions after defeating Holland. In 1988 the Oranje stars finally won their first title and became the European football champions. All the world's greatest teams have been guests and many footballers have made football history in the Olympic stadium - in the German nation league, in the Champions League, in cup or national games. The last professional football match took place on May 14th 2005. The FC Bayern München celebrated its 17th national champonship in the Olympic stadium.
This exceptional stadium has much to show in its history: World, European and visitor records. And it continues to shine as a brilliant example of excellent architecture combined with functionality.
