Saarlandhalleis a 5,500-capacity multi-purposeindoor arenalocated inSaarbrücken,Germany.Originally opened in 1967 with funds from Saarland Sporttoto for sports competitions, it was later converted to multi-purpose indoor arena.[1]TheLudwigsparkstadionis located near the hall.[2]Saarlandhalle is also the first indoor arena in (West) Germany to be organized as alimited liability company.[1]
It has hosted concerts by many famous artists, includingA-ha,AC/DC,Bon Jovi,Chris de Burgh,Depeche Mode,Bob Dylan,Boney M.,Metallica,Pink Floyd,StingandUriah Heep,among others.[3]These days larger productions refrain from visiting it, as technical requirements have generally extended to a degree which the Saarlandhalle cannot meet any longer with its given specs. For example, since the introduction of the show's new stage set in 2001, the hall is too small to host Europe's largest televised show,Wetten, dass..?.[4]
The hall hosts the annualHylo Openbadminton tournament, and hosted the 1996 and 1997German Open.In 2017 it hosted the2017 German Darts Open.
