Did you know that there is a building in Berlin that the Brandenburg Gate would fit into? The Mercedes-Benz Arena, opened in September 2008, is one of the most modern multipurpose arenas in the world. It is home to DEL record-champions Eisbären Berlin hockey and the most successful German basketball team of the past 20 years, ALBA BERLIN. As well as high-class sporting events, the Mercedes-Benz Arena hosts the finest entertainment and concert highlights. Located right in the heart of Berlin, between East Central Station (Ostbahnhof) and Warschauer Straße, the Mercedes-Benz Arena is a 17,000-seat venue with numerous events and entertainment suites. 

The technical standards of the Mercedes-Benz Arena not only ensure ideal acoustics and a perfect view from all seats but also guarantee that the arena can be transformed from a concert venue to a hockey rink or basketball court within a few hours.
