Olympiastadion
is a stadium located in Munich , Germany. Situated at the heart of the
Olympiapark München
in northern Munich, the stadium was built as the main venue for the 1972 Summer Olympics .
With an original capacity of 80,000, the stadium also hosted many major football matches including the 1974 World Cup Final and the Euro '88 Final . It hosted the European Cup Finals of 1979, 1993 and 1997. Its current capacity is 69,250.
Until the construction of the Allianz Arena for the 2006 World Cup , the stadium was home to Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich.
The
1972 Summer Olympics
(German:
Olympische Sommerspiele 1972
), officially known as the
Games of the XX Olympiad
, was an international multi-sport event held in Munich , West Germany , from August 26 to September 11, 1972. The sporting nature of the event was largely overshadowed by the Munich massacre in which eleven Israeli athletes and coaches and a West German police officer were killed. Five Black September Palestinian terrorists died.
The 1972 Summer Olympics were the second Summer Olympics to be held in Germany, after the 1936 Games in Berlin , which had taken place under the Nazi regime . Mindful of the connection, the West German Government was eager to take the opportunity of the Munich Olympics to present a new, democratic and optimistic Germany to the world, as shown by the Games' official motto, "Die Heiteren Spiele", or "the cheerful Games". The logo of the Games was a blue solar logo (the "Bright Sun") by Otl Aicher , the designer and director of the visual conception commission. The Olympic mascot, the dachshund "Waldi", was the first officially named Olympic mascot. The Olympic Fanfare was composed by Herbert Rehbein , a companion of Bert Kaempfert .
The Olympic Park (
Olympiapark
) is based on Frei Otto 's plans and after the Games became a Munich landmark. The competition sites, designed by architect Günther Behnisch , included the Olympic swimming hall, the Olympics Hall (
Olympiahalle
, a multipurpose facility) and the Olympic Stadium (
Olympiastadion
), and an Olympic village very close to the park. The design of the stadium was considered revolutionary, with sweeping canopies of acrylic glass stabilized by metal ropes, used on such a large scale for the first time.

is a federal parliamentary republic in western -central Europe.

The rise of Pan-Germanism inside the German Confederation resulted in the unification of most of the German states in 1871 into the Prussian -dominated German Empire . After World War I and the German Revolution of 1918-1919 , the Empire was replaced by the parliamentary Weimar Republic . The establishment of the Third Reich in 1933 led to World War II and the Holocaust . After 1945, Germany split into two states, East Germany and West Germany . In 1990 , the country was reunified .
