The stadium was originally built in 1909 as a sports field and evolved into a stadium in the 1920s.
It was the first stadium in the Bundesliga to have a complete solar roof integrated into its design.
During the 2008-2011 reconstruction, the original cinder track was removed to transform it into a dedicated football-specific arena.
The stadium is colloquially referred to by fans as 'Das Wohnzimmer' or 'The Living Room'.
The pitch is heated by an underground system to ensure playability during harsh German winters.
The stadium's floodlight system uses energy-efficient LED technology.
It is one of the few top-tier European stadiums accessible by water taxi via the Weser River.
Weser Stadium, located on the northern bank of the Weser River in Bremen, serves as the home ground for the Bundesliga club SV Werder Bremen. The facility features a distinctive integrated photovoltaic system on the roof, making it one of Germany’s largest solar-powered stadiums. With a capacity of approximately 42,100, the stadium has been extensively modernized since 2008 to remove the athletic track and bring seating closer to the pitch. It hosts professional soccer matches, large-scale concerts, and public viewing events throughout the year. The stadium complex includes a dedicated club museum and a fan shop accessible to visitors. The structure is characterized by its four floodlight masts and a prominent glass facade facing the river.
