The city of Saarbrücken is the owner of the Ludwigspark Stadium through its own company (Gebäudemanagementbetrieb Saarbrücken – GMS), which was built in 1953 as a combined soccer and athletics stadium and since then has been used as a venue for the 1st FC Saarbrücken, among others.

The roofing of the new stands consists of three identical constructions, which differ only in the number of roof bays. Cantilevered and backward braced steel girders together with cross-connecting arches form the supporting structure. The roof skin is a membrane that spans between the girders over the shaping arches. Thus, the construction consists of enclosed roof fields, which can be joined together in any number.
