Franz Guggenberger Halle

The Franz-Guggenberger-Halle is a handball hall in Korneuburg, Lower Austria, where the Austrian Handball Bundesliga (WHA) is played. The venue sits at Bankmannring 21, though the exact street number is subject to minor discrepancy in sources. It was built in 1984 and has been owned by the Stadtgemeinde Korneuburg since then. The official capacity is 700 seats; an older figure of 500 is considered outdated by the Handball Liga Austria (HLA). The hall is named after Franz Guggenberger, who served as mayor of Korneuburg from 1946 to 1973. It hosts matches for Union Korneuburg Handball, including the men's team Union Sparkasse Korneuburg and the women's team Union APG Korneuburg. Other tenants include Union Tigers Korneuburg and NV Sharks, who play basketball. The facility also hosts kickboxing events such as the 'Night of Glory' and school physical education.
