The Weserstadion
It is the home of all green and white fans: the Weser Stadium of SV Werder Bremen.

42,100 spectators can fit into the football arena with its four striking floodlight masts. Whether by bike, on foot, by train or even by boat - many routes lead to Werder's ‘living room’, which is located in the centre of the city.
‘Where the Weser makes a great curve, where the Weser Stadium shines in new splendour...’ That's not just the sound of one of the stadium songs. The song aptly describes the location of the stadium directly on the Weser.
The first predecessor to the stadium was built back in 1909. The construction was financed by the city. At the beginning there was only a wooden stand. Since then, however, there have been repeated new buildings, conversions and extensions. The last major renovation phase took place from 2008 to 2011, when the entire stadium was modernised and more seats were created. Since the remodelling, the stadium has been able to supply itself with energy thanks to a photovoltaic system. This makes the stadium not only a mecca for all football fans, but also a real sight in the Hanseatic city.

Around the Stadium
Visitors can explore the stadium as part of a guided tour. The Werder Museum also invites you to take a tour. In addition to the history of the stadium, the Werder history is of course also on display in the museum. You'll realise: there are hardly any Bremen residents who don't cheer on their club at the weekend.
Another special feature attracts fans to the stadium for home matches: the Weserstadion has its own ferry terminal. Why not come to the game by boat? Take the ferry from Pier 2 via Martini-Anleger directly to the stadium or take the Sielwall ferry from the P+R car park on the Stadtwerder to the Osterdeich. The respective departure times, locations and fares can be found at www.hal-oever.de.
The stadium can also be easily reached on foot from the city centre. There is a short, beautiful walk along the Weser.
