Adolf-Jäger-Kampfbahn

Inside the perimeter, the pitch is natural grass, marked with white lines for the players. Behind the seating, the wall is lined with advertisements, and flags hang from the far end.

The stadium sits in the Ottensen district, tucked away from the wider city. It is the home of Altona 93, a club that has called this ground home for more than a century, except for a brief period when regulations forced them to play elsewhere. The capacity is small by professional standards, with only a fraction of the 8,000 spots filled with seats. The rest is open terracing, exposed to the weather.

There is a sense of finality in the air. The ground is scheduled for demolition in the coming years, and the club has voted to sell the property. A new stadium is planned for a different location, but for now, the old structure remains. It is a place of history, but one that is running out of time. The players move across the grass, unaware of the dates that define the end of their home.
