I can't get over how seamlessly this video blends entertainment and education.

❤ So great how the venue has a chapel and is inclusive of sports fans with disabilities.

No doubt the Olympic Stadium can be filled by all of us Mr. Lukas Stege's multilingual fans from all over the world. 😊

this stadium is so nice, I have been there for a Beyoncé concert and was impressed by the venue inside and out

[ezraezra]

Zinedine Zidane's infamous headbutt in 2006 World Cup Final and Usain Bolt's record in 2009 World Championships of Athletics. These two athlete legends really dominated the news when it comes to greatest sport moments in Berlin's Olympiastadion.

Thanks Lukas and DW for the wonderful video on the stadium. Will be there on 15th June cheering for Spain.

Another fantastic tour Lukas and very interesting I been there twice on my 5 visits to Berlin

[omarhamid]

Brilliant. I love this video and presenter 🙌🙌👏👏

[cmartin_ok]

Thank you for this video. When i went, the stadium was still closed to visitors because of Covid. One day I hope to try again

[SomchayPasobchok-utik]

Beautiful and classic, suitable for being a national team field.

[Searchingtheworld]

A iconic landmark for the germany football history.

I love the Stadium which has Running track😊

[ChristofferETJ]

Even with the compromises necessary to fit silly football matches inside the running track, it's still a good stadium. And it looks like it would be easy to add a ninth lane, which is becoming the norm for top stadiums.

18 years ago 2006 World Cup Final. The World also witnessed Zinedine Zidane's infamous headbutt on Marco Materazzi leading to him being sent off and Italy winning it via penalties.

can you make a video about the munich olympic stadium and their future

[tbgrandprixengineering]

The capacity is only slightly less than Gelora Bung Karno(78k capacities), but offers facilities that GBK does not have like a private lounge. And of course the history of the two stadiums itself was a same. It used to hosted both 1936 olympic games & 1966 Asian Games in the past.

[christophermichaelclarence]

I know very well this German Stadium. Like he mentionned, this is also where they welcomed the Olympic Games in 1936 and the Nazis actually built it.
Married there ? Would it be much better if wedding ceremony takes place outside not underneath ?

Hopefully the Maanschaft would make a good impression for the Euro 2024. The team itself is getting better and play much better.
Absolutely love their latest jersey. An hommage and a reminiscint of the 1994 (the year I was born)

I know you mention him as a general footballer but Harry Kane - at least at the time I'm writing this - never played a game at Olympiastadion...Hertha weren't in the Bundesliga last season.

[lak]

I'm confused why there's Champions League sign in this stadium when Hertha is not even playing in Bundesliga. Then I realise Union Berlin have to move here because Försterei did not meet UEFA standards.
