Leimbachstadion is a traditional football stadium located in Siegen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Officially opened in 1957, the venue has long served as the sporting centerpiece of the city and is closely associated with Sportfreunde Siegen, one of the region’s most historically established football clubs.
Situated in the Leimbach district, the stadium was developed during Germany’s post-war reconstruction period, reflecting the era’s focus on community sports infrastructure and regional football development.
Sportfreunde Siegen was founded in 1899 under a different name, making it one of the oldest sports clubs in Germany. Over more than a century, the club has built a strong reputation in German football, particularly in the Regionalliga and Oberliga tiers, and has repeatedly challenged for promotion to higher divisions.
Leimbachstadion has been the club’s long-term home ground and has witnessed multiple promotion campaigns, relegation battles, and decisive league fixtures that shaped the club’s identity.
With a capacity of 18,000, Leimbachstadion ranks among the larger traditional regional stadiums in western Germany. Throughout its history, the venue has hosted:
Promotion and relegation matches in the German league system
High-attendance regional derbies
DFB-Pokal (German Cup) fixtures against higher-tier opposition
Youth and development matches linked to regional football programs
The stadium’s size and layout allow it to accommodate large crowds during peak competitive periods, reinforcing its role as a key football venue in the Siegerland region.
Since its opening in 1957, Leimbachstadion has undergone several modernization phases to adapt to evolving league regulations and safety standards. While maintaining its traditional open-stand character, upgrades have focused on:
Stand refurbishments and spectator safety improvements
Pitch drainage and turf quality enhancements
Player facilities and operational infrastructure
Media and matchday technical areas
These improvements have ensured the stadium’s continued eligibility for organized league football while preserving its historical significance.
As football increasingly shifted toward evening kick-offs and broadcast-oriented scheduling, modern lighting became essential for stadium operations.
MECREE provides professional LED sports stadium intelligent lighting solutions, including venue simulation design and electrical installation guidance. For stadiums such as Leimbachstadion, advanced LED football lighting systems enable:
High horizontal and vertical illuminance for competitive matches
Excellent lighting uniformity across the pitch
Reduced glare to improve player and referee visibility
Enhanced conditions for media coverage and photography
Lower energy consumption and maintenance costs compared to legacy floodlights
LED lighting upgrades allow historic football venues to meet modern performance and sustainability requirements while respecting existing stadium architecture.
Leimbachstadion remains a central element of sports life in Siegen. Beyond first-team matches, the venue supports:
Youth academy and grassroots football
Regional competitions and community events
Training and development programs connected to Sportfreunde Siegen
The stadium continues to symbolize continuity between the club’s 19th-century origins and contemporary German football structures.

With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
Through lighting simulation calculations and programming of light show designs, solutions oriented towards either visual effects or cost-effectiveness are provided.
