Opened: 4 August 2001
Primary Use: Football
Tenants: Hansa Rostock (Football)
The Ostseestadion, located in Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, is the home of F.C. Hansa Rostock, a historic German football club founded in 1965. The stadium officially opened on 4 August 2001, replacing the former Ostsee-Stadion and offering a modern venue for professional football.
Between 2007 and 2015, the stadium was known as the DKB-Arena due to naming rights sponsorship. Today, it is recognized as one of the key football venues in northeastern Germany.
Hansa Rostock used the Ostseestadion for home matches since its opening, establishing strong fan engagement with an average home attendance of 18,000 in their first league season at the venue. During that season, the team finished 14th in the Bundesliga, earning 34 points in 34 top-flight league games.
The stadium has hosted numerous Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga, and DFB-Pokal fixtures, including high-profile clashes against traditional German clubs. These events have been crucial for Hansa Rostock’s growth in fan base and competitive stature.
Since its opening, the Ostseestadion has undergone multiple renovations to meet modern league standards and enhance spectator experience:
Upgrade of seating and VIP hospitality areas
Modernization of lighting systems and broadcast infrastructure
Safety and access improvements in line with German Football League (DFL) regulations
Enhanced pitch drainage and turf quality for consistent play
The stadium’s modern architecture and fan-friendly layout maintain excellent visibility from all seating areas, preserving an intimate atmosphere despite a capacity of 29,000.
Hansa Rostock became the first sports club from Rostock with over 100,000 followers on its main social media page, reflecting strong local and international support. Ostseestadion plays a central role in fan engagement, hosting community events, fan days, and club ceremonies in addition to professional football matches.
Professional match lighting is critical for evening games and televised broadcasts. The Ostseestadion supports:
Uniform LED illumination across the pitch for high-definition broadcasts
Reduced glare for players and officials
Energy-efficient lighting with intelligent control systems
MECREE provides professional LED sports stadium intelligent lighting solutions, including simulation design and installation guidance, to optimize visibility and energy use for venues like the Ostseestadion.
Ostseestadion has become a symbol of football in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, representing both the city of Rostock and the enduring tradition of Hansa Rostock. Its combination of historical significance, modern facilities, and passionate fanbase makes it a central hub for professional football in northeastern Germany.

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.
