Hamburg
The 'Volksparkstadion' is located in the Altona Volkspark in the district of Bahrenfeld, a few kilometres north of the Elbe and west of the city centre. The stadium was built between 1951 and 1953 and has been remodelled and extended several times over the years. Five matches will be played in the Volksparkstadion, which will have capacity for 49,000 spectators, during the European Championship.
The elevation model clearly shows the Elbe valley, which flows from east to west, and the harbour facilities in Hamburg. To the south of the Elbe valley rises the Nordheide around Buchholz, bordered to the east and west by the Seeve and Este rivers.
