Bergisch Gladbach City and ESV have released a joint statement announcing that the Eissporthalle has once again been cleared.

The ice rink in Bensberg is set to reopen its doors on September 12, 2025, following a swift and solution-oriented approach by the city authorities. This news is sure to please many schoolchildren, families, and ice sports fans from Bergisch Gladbach and beyond.

The season opening event, an ice disco taking place from 7-10 pm, is a spontaneous celebration marking the return of winter activities. The event is open to all, with entry for those under 14 years being free.

The state-approved expert concluded that the hall can be reopened until the end of the ice skating season in spring 2026, subject to certain conditions and close supervision by the building authority. Ragnar Migenda, the first deputy in charge of building supervision, is pleased with this solution.

Jörg Scholtz, chairman of the ESV Bergisch Gladbach, expressed his satisfaction with the city's approach, stating that it ensures the long-term use of the hall. Stephan Dekker, the school superintendent, also expressed his pleasure, as this solution allows school sports to continue uninterrupted.

While the affected wooden beam will be renovated in the summer of 2026, there is no information available about which company received the contract for this task. The club is inviting everyone to the season opening event, expecting a large turnout.

The ice rink in Bensberg is now open for school and club sports, and with the season opening event on the horizon, it's shaping up to be an exciting time for winter enthusiasts in the region.
