The LANXESS arena is Germany’s biggest and most frequently visited multifunctional arena, and since 2010 it has also been one of the Top 10 arenas worldwide in terms of visitor numbers. The arena serves as the venue of popular concerts by international megastars such as Phil Collins, Justin Bieber, Adele, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Shakira.
It’s also an outstanding showcase for sports. The LANXESS arena regularly hosts top-category sports events. For example, the final games of the Handball World Cup 2007 made headlines all over the world thanks to their charged atmosphere and ideal setting. Ever since 2010, the VELUX EHF FINAL4 has established itself as Europe’s biggest indoor sports event. The LANXESS arena is also the well-loved home of Cologne’s ice hockey team, the Kölner Haie. It’s a mecca for Cologne’s hockey fans and has shaped the history of the sport by serving as the venue of the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship games in 2001, 2010 and 2017.
The 2017 games in particular will long be remembered by everyone involved. During this tournament, more than 461,000 euphoric fans flocked to the LANXESS arena in Cologne from all over the world to witness 34 exciting games played by the world’s 16 best national ice hockey teams. The Ice Hockey World Championship games were not only well attended in the Cologne arena but also received worldwide attention, as more than 1.2 billion fans in 120 countries followed the games on television at home.
In addition to sports and entertainment events, the LANXESS arena also hosts international conferences and meetings as well as anniversaries, presentations and the annual general meetings of major companies. Because the arena offers diverse spaces that can be used in a wide variety of ways, it can accommodate events such as supervisory board meetings, congresses and company celebrations for groups ranging from 50 to 20,000 people.
In 2017, a record-setting year, the LANXESS arena welcomed approximately 2,200,000 visitors to a total of 216 events. It’s not at all unusual for the arena to host a number of major events on consecutive days.
