History
On September 19, 1926, the Sports Federation Jahn leased the property on the outskirts of the city and a few cultivated fields to a main pitch and several training pitches, the Jahn- place became the new home ground of Regensburg. As more and more viewers visited the Jahn, the Jahn- grandstand was built in 1931 - at the time one of the most modern football bleachers Germany. 1949, the stadium was first extended and refurbished to Admission ranks around the pitch were first built. Also, the " tower " was created, an analog scoreboard with clock on the back straight - the area are the fans today in the.
The most successful years witnessed the Jahn Stadium in the 1950s, where a partially average attendance of 17,000 was reached. The absolute record attendance was achieved in February 1950: When league home game against SpVgg Fürth 30,000 spectators came to the Prüfening road. In the aftermath of the sporting success of the Jahn went back, however, and further, until the club was in 1975 finally forced to sell the stadium to the city of Regensburg for DM 1.5 million. Since then, one also speaks of " urban Jahnstadion ." In 1987, the stadium was due to lack of funds for a new building completely renovated and erected floodlights.
In the 1990s, the land was always the goal of potential buyers that are the reason - wanted to secure - mainly because of its proximity to the historic center of Regensburg. But after success on the pitch returned back to the Prüfening road since 1999, the existence of the stadium was secured. After Jahn Regensburg had risen to the 2nd Bundesliga in 2003, the capacity was increased by an additional grandstand next to the grandstand.

By the start of the season was created the extra seats in the Prüfening road by an additional bleachers in the curve, so that the stadium capacity was increased but only to a total of 12,500 places.
