The ice rink at the Pulverturm is an indoor ice sports arena in the Lower Bavarian city of Straubing. It opened in 1967 and currently has a capacity of 5,635 spectators (1,661 seated and 3,974 standing). The Straubing Tigers ice hockey club, a member of the German Ice Hockey League (DEL), plays its home games here, as do the amateur and youth teams of EHC Straubing. The city of Straubing owns and operates the rink, while marketing and catering are handled by Straubing Tigers GmbH. The ice rink was built on the site of a former natural ice surface and was inaugurated on November 9, 1967. Initially, it was an artificial ice surface with stands and no roof. Construction of the roof began after the 1975/76 season and was completed at the start of the 1976/77 season. The rink was built by TSV Straubing, the predecessor club of EHC and thus of the Tigers. Due to financial difficulties during the spin-off of the ice hockey department and the subsequent founding of EHC Straubing, the stadium became the property of the city of Straubing in 1981. The facility has been continuously modernized, for example, with the construction of the new south stand in the 2001/02 season, which also included new player locker rooms. The east side of the stadium was closed off in the summer of 2008 by construction work, the completion of which was delayed until October by arson in July 2008. An upper tier was also subsequently added to the south stand, providing additional seating. Following the 2010/11 season, construction began on the new east side at the end of March 2011. This project includes the construction of a new entrance area, a VIP area, a stadium restaurant, the Tigers' offices, and a fan shop, as well as the renovation of the EHC Straubing team locker rooms. ... With the closure of the east side in October 2008, the arena had a capacity of 5,825, comprising 4,282 standing places, 1,543 seats, and 400 VIP seats. At the end of the 2010s, the standing capacity was reduced to 4,187 spectators. The municipal ice rink is named after the Powder Tower located opposite it. The Powder Tower was part of the medieval city walls and stands as a relic of the city's fortifications at their northwestern end. It was used to store gunpowder supplies from the 13th century onward. ...... Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisstadion_am_Pulverturm

The Gäubodenvolksfest takes place here every year. The Gäubodenvolksfest (short: Gäubodenfest) in Straubing is one of the largest folk festivals in Bavaria. Although, in contrast to the Munich Oktoberfest, the majority of visitors are local, over a million (approx. 1.4 million, as of 2019)[1] visitors attend the event every year, which takes place at the Am Hagen festival site in Straubing.[2] The East Bavaria Show has been running parallel to the Gäubodenvolksfest since the middle of the 20th century and is one of the most important and successful consumer exhibitions in Bavaria, with 450,000 visitors annually. The name is derived from the Gäuboden, a geographically only roughly defined area, in the center of which is Straubing. The festival date is always in August of a calendar year and is based on the holiday “Assumption of Mary” (August 15). The Gäubodenvolksfest usually begins on the Friday (August 7th - August 13th) beforehand and ends 10 days later on the Monday (August 17th - August 23rd). If the holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday, the Gäubodenvolksfest begins on the Friday a week beforehand. The Ostbayernschau always begins on the Saturday and ends on the Sunday (9 days). Both events are planned and carried out by the Straubinger Ausstellungs- und Veranstaltung GmbH. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4ubodenvolksfest
