About Lanxess Arena
Lanxess Arena is an indoor venue in Cologne, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and its name is written LANXESS arena in the venue's own styling. Originally it was called Kölnarena, which means "Cologne arena". The Kölner Haie make the arena their home, with room for 18,500, and it is also one of the major music venues in Germany.
A steel arch spans the arena, and steel cables run from the arch to the roof and carry it. The arch measures 76 m (249 ft) in height and weighs 480 tons. Kölnarena became Lanxess Arena after an announcement on June 2, 2008. The name comes from its sponsor, Lanxess AG, a specialty chemicals group with its base at the Lanxess Tower, in the Deutz part of Cologne.
Ice hockey's Kölner Haie, handball's VfL Gummersbach and basketball's Köln RheinStars all use the arena, which also stages concerts. Games at the world men's handball championship of 2007 included the final and the third place game. On June 13, 2009, UFC 99 took place at the arena, the first time the UFC made its way to Germany. For the 2010 IIHF World Championship, it hosted the two semi-finals, the bronze medal match and the title game.
