Renovation of the Schänzle sports field in Konstanz completed, but temporarily closed. First use from January 2026.
Schänzle sports field in Konstanz: Completed but still closed!
The Schänzle sports field in Konstanz has successfully completed its renovation. After the recent work, which saw new grass sown and a fresh tartan track installed, one would think that the site was ready for sports. But that's not quite the case. Rumors say that the facility will remain closed until the end of 2025 because the new tartan track is said to be too soft. Again South Courier reported, these speculations were firmly refuted by the Office for Education and Sport: the renovation had been completed properly.
Despite completion, minor work is still necessary, which will have to be postponed until spring 2026 due to weather conditions. The sports field is not expected to be opened until January 2026 so that the turf can develop in peace. A misunderstanding about the closure of the green spaces may have contributed to the rumors, but they are not true. Fortunately, schools are not affected by the lockdown, so there is no fear of cancellations in students' physical education classes.
Sporty alternative options
For the track and field athletes from the Konstanz gymnastics club, who normally train at Schänzle, it is now time to get creative. They move to the Wollmatingen sports center and the Lake Constance Stadium to continue their training. However, there is a small relief: TV Konstanz is allowed to use the new track for four hours per week as part of a test operation. This means that at least part of the training can take place in the new environment.
Particularly worth mentioning is the new lighting, which allows flexible adjustment between the sprint track and the circuit. The aim is to achieve a compromise between sporting use and energy management. The goal is clear: the facility should be fully prepared and ready by the state gymnastics festival in May 2026 to inspire athletes and spectators alike.
Background to promote sports facilities
In summary, it can be said that the Schänzle sports field is currently closed, but has a lot of potential for the future. The commitment to the sports infrastructure shows that Konstanz has a good hand when it comes to promoting sports areas. Until the opening release, the athletes have to be patient and look forward to the next steps.
