Garmisch Olympia Stadium is an arena in Garmisch, Germany. It is primarily used for ice hockey, and is the home arena of the SC Riessersee of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. Garmisch Olympia Stadium opened in 1935 and holds 6,929 people. It also hosted Germany's single home game during the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. This arena also hosted some hockey and figure skating events at the 1936 Winter Olympics.
It was originally an open air rink and was enclosed in 1964. The arena had a maximum capacity of 10,500 spectators at that point. The roof was damaged in a storm on April 4, 1987, and required 1 million marks of repairs to fix.
The rink was extensively remodeled in 1994 and had its capacity reduced to 6,929.
