Werner-Aßmann-Halle

The Werner-Aßmann-Halle in Eisenach is defined by its most striking architectural feature.

The hall was opened in 1984, originally as the Sporthalle Katzenaue , but this detail belongs to the past rather than the present-day identity. What matters now is its function as the home of ThSV Eisenach . The club plays handball here, and the venue has earned the nickname "Aßmann-Hölle" for its acoustics.

The changes brought a mobile telescopic stand and LED walls, but the physical footprint remains small. The surface inside is synthetic, a standard for indoor handball, but the experience is dictated by the room’s dimensions rather than the technology.

The building does not have its own website; visitors must go to the club’s page to find information.

The capacity is a matter of some uncertainty, with figures ranging from 2,850 to 3,140. The exact number is less important than the fact that the hall fills up quickly. The record attendance was set in October 2023, a sign that the team’s return to the top flight has revived interest in the venue.
