Europahalle

Europahalle is an indoor sporting arena located in Karlsruhe, Germany.

The capacity of the arena is 9,000 people.

The venue has featured a number of world record performances in athletics, including a jump of 2.07 m in the high jump by Heike Henkel in 1992, when the Europahalle hosted the German Indoor Championships. This mark remained unbettered indoors for fourteen years and remains one of the best ever performances in the discipline.^[1]

After extensive renovation, the arena will re-open in mid-2024. The PS Karlsruhe Lions will be a primary tenant again.^[2]
