The "VfR-Stadion" built by VfR Köln was designed purely as a football stadium and had a capacity of 30,000 spectators.

The reopening as "Sportpark Höhenberg" took place on 20 September 1931 in front of 8,000 spectators with a friendly match between VfR Köln and Schalke 04.

Shortly afterward, the back straight, which like the rest of the stadium had consisted only of grass walls, was also fixed with standing crossbars.

To make room for the new stand, the running track was removed and the pitch moved towards the back straight.

Although the company was once again the main sponsor of Preußen's successor club Viktoria Köln between 2011 and 2015, the name was not changed again.

In May 2012, the back straight was renovated and a floodlight system was installed to make the stadium suitable for the Regionalliga West.

For the rugby and American football matches, two additional foundations, each one metre deep, were laid into which the field goals can be inserted.

Manchester United also used the sports park in August 2020 for training sessions ahead of their semi-final match against Sevilla in the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League.

On 19 March 2016, the stadium hosted the 2014–2016 European Nations Cup First Division match Germany against Spain.

Most recently, Germany played Spain again on 17 March 2019 as part of the 2018–19 Rugby Europe International Championships, but again lost the match 10–33.
