About this venue
Warsteiner HockeyPark is more than a stadium — it’s a purpose-built stage for top-level sport in the open air. With clean, modern lines and stands set close to the pitch, it creates an intense, “right-on-top-of-the-action” feel that works brilliantly for field hockey. The venue is designed to handle big matchdays and is widely recognized as a key hockey location in Germany.
Inside, the experience stays front and center: strong sightlines from almost every seat, comfortable fan areas, and a tight, punchy atmosphere where chants and reactions carry quickly around the bowl. You’ll also find convenient food and drink kiosks and practical amenities, so everything you need is within easy reach between whistle and final siren.
The micro-location makes arrival straightforward: Am Hockeypark 1, Mönchengladbach, Germany. The entrance sits within Sportpark Nordpark and is clearly signposted; on event days you can use nearby parking areas/garages or get off at the stops right by the sports park. For the wider city travel context, the information further down the page is a natural next step.
About the city
Mönchengladbach, a lively city in the Lower Rhine region, is an increasingly popular choice for travelers coming for top-tier sports and major concerts. Here, the buzz of a night out blends naturally with the energy of live events, and visitors appreciate how easy it is to move between key locations without stress. Whether you’re heading to a match at Borussia-Park or to performances in nearby venues, the city offers a compact, practical, and comfortable base for the whole experience.
One of Mönchengladbach’s biggest strengths is hassle-free logistics: the main arrival point is Mönchengladbach Hbf, with solid regional and S-Bahn connections to larger hubs across North Rhine–Westphalia. Getting around the city is supported by the bus network operated by NEW mobil und aktiv (VRR), covering neighborhoods, the center, and approaches to stadiums, making it easy to get from your accommodation to the gates on time. If you’re flying in, Flughafen Düsseldorf is a convenient option, and the mix of rail links and road routes helps with smooth arrivals and returns, even when traveling as a group.
When it’s not time for the stands or the stage, Mönchengladbach delivers a strong “tourist bonus.” Stroll through the old center around Alter Markt, drop into Museum Abteiberg for contemporary art, or explore Schloss Rheydt, one of the city’s most striking historic sites. For a calmer pace, take a walk along the Niers river and enjoy the city’s parks, while a wide choice of cafés and restaurants makes it easy to round off the evening before or after the event.
