| sport & culture |
The main attraction in the fields of sport and culture in Riesa is without any doubt the erdgas arena, one of the largest multi purpose halls in the eastern part of Germany. Through it’s high flexibility the hall offers ideal conditions for the organization and implementation of big sport championships. The particularity lies especially in the almost unrestricted possibilities to use. No matter if ice surface, handball court, soccer grass, high clay mounts, concert stages or exhibition stands, explicit requirements can be realized for every event.
Sport enthusiastic people of Riesa have organized themselves in almost 40 associations, to do sports at amateur and professional levels. Four teams, the SC Riesa e.V., Ethos Riesa, Chemie Nünchritz as well as the Beachvolleyball-Club Riesa e.V., are dedicated to the Volleyball sport, which again testifies the big enthusiasm for the sport.
Outstanding conditions for training within the sport complex Riesa, concentrated on a narrowest area, have already convinced many professional athletes. Harald Czudaj, Marc Huster, Jens Kruppa and many more are using the sport complex as their fixed place for practice. |
