Handover of the stadium to the EAS operating company

Today, Lord Mayor Thomas Nitzsche and Thomas Stender, Commercial Director of Kommunale Immobilien Jena (KIJ), symbolically handed over the Ernst Abbe Stadium to Andreas Kuhn, Managing Director of EAS Betriebsgesellschaft mbH.

From 01.09.2020, EAS, in which the city of Jena holds a 25.1% stake, will officially be responsible for operating part of the Oberaue and the parking lot on Stadtrodaer Straße, thus assuming the first part of the operator responsibility.

In future, the operating company will be responsible for the complete maintenance and rental of the area and will ensure the operation of games and training sessions. KIJ was previously responsible for these tasks.

Lord Mayor Thomas Nitzsche:

We would like to thank EAS for the excellent cooperation to date and wish the operating company all the best and every success for the tasks ahead. Thanks to the intensive coordination between KIJ and EAS over the past few weeks, we are confident that the transition will go smoothly.
