My visit

Friday 26th October 2012

I was in Germany on the first of four days of football and socialising and was starting my adventures on the banks of the Rhine in the city of Cologne. I had already visited the home of Fortuna Koln and then Viktoria Koln. It was as I was leaving their Flugafen Stadion that my attention was drawn to a venue across the lane.












I went past an impressive looking clubhouse when the TuS-Anlage Sportpark Höhenberg  arena opened up in front of me. It was basically a running track with dug outs on the far side, with a couple of steps of terracing down the home straight, backed with a few park benches, and a cinder surfaced pitch behind.

After taking my photos I headed back over down the lane to Frankfurter Strasse to catch a tram, which I alighted early from and ended up outside Koln Arena and catching a train to the Hauptbanhof from Messe station.












On my return to London I attempted to find out as many details as the official website offered, as well as a Portuguese written entry for Wikipedia!
