6177-414: The road to Berlin ( German : Berliner Weg ), today's Konrad-Wolf-Straße. Apart from the settlements, at this point cereals were also widely grown and, after the easing of restrictions in 1810, milled on-site. As the 19th century progressed and Germany began to industrialise , Hohenschönhausen benefitted from investment in infrastructure, such as the opening of an electric tram line to Berlin in 1899, and

A new 500-seat grandstand and a more spacious 35-metre office building were built at the main stand. Bleechers made of steel pipes were also built on the earth embankments along the long sides. All these measures increased

6438-540: The site contains highly significant cultural remains, the adverse development effects on the site must be mitigated through a structured programme that is often long and expensive. Mitigation can include preservation by record i.e. the site is destroyed by archaeological excavation rather than by the development and meticulous recording transfers the physical traces in the earth to information in archives. Mitigation also includes construction techniques which ensure that archaeological remains are protected in undisturbed parts of

6525-489: The site is. In the United Kingdom and Canada, all forms of development, public and private, are subject to archaeological requirements, while in the United States this work can only be undertaken in federally funded projects or those on government-owned land, except in a few states that have laws that apply also to private land. Where archaeological requirements apply to a site of proposed development, if no significant archaeological or other cultural property sites are found in

6612-538: The site or even underneath the development. An example of this type of mitigation is the Viking remains at York . Important sites are designated as being protected by the state so that no development at all can take place, and governments also recommend the most important sites to be recognised as World Heritage Sites. CHM has been a mixed blessing for archaeology. Preservation legislation has ensured that no valuable site will be destroyed by construction without study, but

6699-551: The site. In 1953, the East German Ministry for State Security decided to create a large sports complex in the area. The existing sports field was then converted into a football stadium in 1954, by raising the ground on both long sides for stands.

6960-442: The work of rescue archaeologists is sometimes controversial. Some academic archaeologists do not take archaeological rescue or salvage work seriously because of its emphasis on site identification and preservation rather than intensive study and analysis. Where archaeology is motivated by proposed development, the archaeological contracts are placed through a bidding process. The choice of archaeological contractor typically lies with

7047-479: Was built as a training center for elite sport. It was used by top athletes and future Olympic medalists of East Germany.

7308-473: Was refurbished for the first match of SC Dynamo Berlin at the stadium at the beginning of the 1961–62 season. The stadium was repainted and flowers were planted all around.

The stadium was gradually expanded during

7395-425: Was then covered with a simple roof and transformed into an ice hockey arena in 1963. The ice hockey arena came to be known colloquially as "The Corrugated Palace" ( German : Wellblechpalast ) for its corrugated roof. The name was initially coined by a journalist after Die Wende , but eventually became popular. The stadium was officially named Wellblechpalast in 2001. The ice hockey arena served as home arena of
