Overview

  • The renovated platform now features Eintracht’s black‑white‑red design and original stadium seat shells, extending the 2013 “Säulen der Eintracht” into a full platform treatment.
  • Former greats including Charly Körbel, Bum‑Kun Cha, Uwe Bein and Alexander Schur attended the inauguration, with their achievements highlighted on the C level.
  • New wall elements include hymn lines and fan quotes, along with a statute clause affirming democracy and rejecting discrimination, racism and antisemitism.
  • City traffic chief Wolfgang Siefert said roughly 61,000 people pass through Willy‑Brandt‑Platz daily, while the B level keeps its theatre and opera theme.
  • Transport operator VGF cast the visual overhaul as the final touch to a wider refurbishment with fire‑safety upgrades, and Eintracht executive Philipp Reschke called the project a statement rather than a marketing ploy.
