AST creates ice rink for DEL Wintergame at Rudolf Harbig Stadium in Dresden

21.01.2026

When passion meets precision, we create projects in a league of their own. AST Eis- & Solartechnik created the centerpiece of one of Germany's biggest ice hockey events: the professional ice rink for the DEL Wintergame at Rudolf Harbig Stadium in Dresden.

 

For over 32,000 visitors, we transformed the traditional soccer stadium into an impressive open-air ice hockey arena. With a technically high-precision, precisely calibrated ice rink, we met the highest sporting requirements.

 

The game between the Dresdner Eislöwen and the Eisbären Berlin offered top-level ice hockey under extraordinary conditions.

 

Managing Director of the Dresdner Eislöwen - Maik Walsdorf:

“The ice quality at the DEL WINTERGAME 2026 powered by MagentaSport was of a very high standard. This is despite the particular challenges posed by snowfall during the preparation phase and the extreme cold on the day of the game. Thanks to close coordination with all parties involved and proven AST technology, it was possible to create a stable, fast ice surface that was absolutely suitable for DEL games.”

 

Experience and technology for demanding large-scale projects

It is precisely these large-scale projects that drive us forward. With decades of experience in mobile and permanent ice rink technology, high-performance cooling systems, and professional dasherboarding- and infrastructure solutions, we realize complex indoor and outdoor ice hockey events.

Our well-coordinated team takes care of the entire planning, setup, dismantling, and technical support for the ice rink. Even in changing weather conditions and under high pressure, we ensure optimal ice quality at all times. We work reliably, precisely, and sustainably.

 

Tailor-made solutions for events, sports, and municipalities

We develop individual solutions for large-scale events, professional sporting events, temporary ice rinks, and municipal projects. From the initial idea to the final implementation, we support our customers with modern technology, efficient systems, and clear processes.
