Stadion An der Alten Försterei is more than Union Berlin’s home ground—it’s a stadium with a distinct personality rooted in Köpenick. Its compact footprint and close-to-the-pitch design, combined with a capacity of 22,012 (notably with large standing terraces), create a high-intensity atmosphere where every match or show feels immersive rather than distant.
Inside, the experience is famously raw and fan-driven: steep sightlines, a roof that helps the sound stay in the bowl, and a crowd rhythm that keeps the energy constant. Food and drink are a big part of the routine too—outside areas feature 11 grill stations and 26 beverage stands, with a signature touch: grilling over charcoal.
The micro-location is straightforward: An der Wuhlheide 263, Berlin, Germany. Most visitors approach the gates on foot from S-Bahn Köpenick (line S3), roughly a 10–15 minute walk that’s easy to follow on event days. If you’re arriving by car, the stadium’s P1 lot sits right next to the venue with around 450 spaces (plus additional options nearby). For broader city transport tips and connections, the general Berlin section further down the page picks up from here.
