Description |
|
The Olympiahalle was built in
the early 1960s in preparation for the
1964 Winter Olympics when it was the venue
for figure skating and ice-hockey.
It was drafted into Olympic service again
12 years later when Denver, originally
awarded the 1976 games, withdrew.
The building is part of a complex of
sporting venues known collectively as
Olympic World. Behind the hall is the speed-skating oval. Audience seating for that venue is located along the rear of the Olympichalle. When I took these
images in 2016, the speed-skating oval
was being refurbished.
