Donauparkhalle was an indoor ice rink in Vienna-Donaustadt in Austria. It was originally built as an expo venue in 1964, next to an earlier landfill in Donaupark near Kaisermühlen, to be used for the garden-themed exhibition Wiener Internationale Gartenschau. Two years later, it was rebuilt into an indoor ice rink.[1]
During the 1966/1967 season, Wiener EV played its first home games inside.[2] Later, it was used as home venue for the Vienna club WAT Stadlau. The venue was popular for its acoustics. The venue was demolished following the 1990/1991 season, as the area was planned to be used for the 1995 world exhibition that was never hosted.
Major events[edit]
In 1967 the Wiener Stadthallenturnier, despite the name, was held there instead of inside the Wiener Stadthalle.[3] Even the world championships in ice stock sport[4] and nine-pin bowling have been held inside.[5]
Even the 1967 and the 1987 World Ice Hockey Championships were held inside. The World Figure Skating Championships have also been held here.[6]
