Museumsplatz an der Tiergartenstraße

The name Museumsplatz belongs to a square, not to the sports field that sits beside it, and the club that plays there—Sportclub Neuenheim—has worn the same badge since 1902. The surface is natural grass; match reports have called it 'frozen grass' in winter and 'normal grass' in summer. The capacity sits somewhere between 1,500 and 3,000 depending on which ledger you trust, but the figure that endures is the one attached to the club's own history: over 2,500 spectators turning up on 5 June 1966 to watch the final against DSV 1878 Hannover, a match SC Neuenheim won 9:3.

The site has not been rebuilt for any tournament, nor does it bear a sponsor's name; it remains SCN-Sportgelände Museumsplatz in every record. The last major change to the infrastructure is not found in any archive, which suits the club—a quiet corner of Heidelberg where the rugby union drifts in and out of the summer evenings without drawing a crowd twice the town's population. When visiting sides such as Heidelberger Ruderklub or SC Frankfurt 1880 arrive, they play here as guests, not as residents, and the ground holds them without comment. The 2026 German Rugby Championship Final was not played here; it was held at the Beekestadion in Hannover, a detail that keeps the record honest without needing to explain why. The number 3,000 appears on English Wikipedia and on a Russian mirror; the number 1,500 appears in the Europlan database. The truth is likely closer to the lower figure, but neither number has been challenged by anyone who matters. The site has not closed, has not been renamed, and has not been demolished, and it will not be rebuilt unless the club decides to pour new concrete. Until then, the grass remains natural, the gates remain open, and the final score from 1966 remains unbroken.
