After World War II, the stadium was renovated from 1951 to 1952 and renamed Heinrich-Germer-Stadion,[1] after a local politician.

The overall form is that of an oval, with its main stand dominated by the announcer's tower.

Additionally, there is a 400 meter track surrounding the playing field.

On 22 March 1955 the attendance record of 22,000 was set at a DDR-Liga match between Motor Mitte and Lok Stendal.

In this period the stadium hosted several European matches, against Wrexham AFC, Arsenal F.C., Moss FK and Torino Calcio.
