The Jahnkampfbahn sits on land that was once a drained swamp, the Krausener Bachtal, reclaimed in the 1920s by the independent municipality of Wald. The ground stands as a protected monument for its expressionist architecture, reflecting a period when municipal works projects employed thousands of labourers.

Since its reconstruction in 1997, the stadium has maintained its capacity of around 4,957, a figure that feels modest compared to the 22,000 who watched the 1948 relegation playoff between TSG Vohwinkel 80 and Preußen Dellbrück.

It was here, on a warm afternoon in May 2003, that the German U-15 women’s national team played their debut match, a 1:0 victory over the Netherlands in front of 4,000 people. The ground has also hosted more recent international fixtures, including a 2004 concert by The Dublin City Ramblers and a 2015 film shoot for "Turnschuh-Giganten," which used the stadium to stand in for the 1954 World Cup Final. Today, the primary tenants are local amateur teams, such as the Solingen Paladins American Football team, who play on the same turf that once held world record holder Otto Peltzer as a guest of honour.
