Oschhalle

The **Öschhalle** in Metzingen is a triple sports hall, but the main court, **Öschhalle I**, is where the women’s handball team of TuS Metzingen plays its home fixtures. The building sits in the Kernstadt.

The structure was designed by Paul-Ludwig Dolmetsch, an architect who worked in the city for nearly four decades until 2001. The exact year the doors first opened is not recorded in available sources, so the date is omitted.

Inside, the floor is a synthetic sports surface, a parquet-style hard court that replaced the previous version in 2020. That renovation also saw the installation of new wall protection. The capacity is listed as 520 by the club, split between 420 seated spots and 100 standing areas. Other records suggest a higher total of 1,050, but the club’s figure is the one used for match days.

There is no sponsorship name attached; it is simply the Öschhalle, distinguished from the adjacent Öschhalle II only by the Roman numeral. It has not been renamed, nor has it hosted major tournaments requiring structural changes. It is a local hall for a local team.

When the players step out, they play on the same surface.
