Stad. a. d. Grünwalder Str.

The Grünwalder Stadion sits on Grünwalder Straße. Built for gymnastics in 1911, it became a football ground soon after, and TSV 1860 München have returned to it after seasons spent in exile at larger venues elsewhere in the city.

What stands out is not the capacity, but the Westkurve. The standing terrace holds roughly 9,000 fans, a number that feels substantial for a ground of 15,000. One that survived the arson of the main stand in 1971. Spectators watched a league match in the burnt-out shell that day, a moment that gave the place a particular kind of memory. Safety rules later forced a reduction, but the 2012–2013 renovation restored the numbers to meet 3. Liga standards.

The pitch is natural grass, worn smooth by decades of play. It has hosted finals, including the 1964 DFB-Pokal and the 1965 European Cup Winners' Cup, though those events are now remote history. A more recent memory is the filming of a Monty Python sketch, which adds a strange layer to the usual football routine. The ground also holds the record for the largest crowd, a figure that sits near 58,000 from a match in 1948, though the exact number is debated.

Today it is a working ground for 1860 and Bayern Munich II. It lacks the modern amenities of its neighbours, but it has a presence that comes from longevity. The wind cuts through the open stands more sharply here than at the newer arenas in the city, and the history between the local clubs adds an edge to every weekend fixture.
