Gladbach Matchday Guide
Experience Borussia-Park, the Nordkurve and a football identity that has carried the name Mönchengladbach far beyond the Lower Rhine.
Overview
A city whose name travels with its football club.
Borussia Mönchengladbach is one of the defining names in German football. Five German championships, European success and the celebrated teams of the 1970s turned a Lower Rhine club into an international football name.
Today the matchday experience is centred on Borussia-Park. The stadium combines a large standing home end with the history and identity of a club whose supporters still carry memories of the old Bökelberg.

Stadium
BORUSSIA-PARK
Borussia-Park has been Borussia Mönchengladbach's home since 2004. Built in Nordpark on the western side of the city, it replaced the Bökelbergstadion and gave the club a much larger modern football ground.
The stadium holds more than 54,000 spectators for domestic matches. Its defining matchday area is the Nordkurve, where Borussia's active home support is concentrated.
The wider Borussia-Park complex also includes the FohlenWelt club museum, making the stadium area a destination for supporters beyond the match itself.
Nordkurve
The Nordkurve is the heart of Borussia's vocal home support. Standing supporters, flags and coordinated chanting make this the most intense part of the stadium.
Seated Areas
The remaining stands provide seated views around the pitch and are generally better suited to visitors who want to follow the match away from the centre of the standing support.
Away End
Visiting supporters have their own designated area. For major regional fixtures, segregation and match-specific travel arrangements can be more extensive than on a normal Bundesliga weekend.
The Old Home
From the Bökelberg to Borussia-Park.
For generations of Borussia supporters, the Bökelberg was the club's defining home. Its steep terraces formed the setting for the great Borussia teams that transformed German football in the 1970s.
Borussia moved to Borussia-Park in 2004. The new stadium changed the scale of matchday in Mönchengladbach, but the Bökelberg remains an important reference point in the club's collective memory.
Borussia Identity
The Foals.
Borussia's famous Fohlen identity emerged from the young, fast and attacking teams associated with the club's rise in the 1960s and 1970s.
The nickname remains part of Borussia's language today, connecting the modern club to one of the most celebrated periods in Bundesliga history.
Five-Time Champions
Borussia won five German championships during the 1970s and established Mönchengladbach as one of the defining football names of the era.
Getting There
Use the matchday shuttle system.
Borussia-Park lies in Nordpark, several kilometres west of central Mönchengladbach. For most travelling supporters, public transport and the matchday shuttle system are more practical than trying to approach the stadium by car.
Matchday shuttle buses connect Mönchengladbach railway stations with Borussia-Park. Exact routes and operating arrangements can change for individual fixtures, so check Borussia's match-specific travel information before setting out.
For high-profile matches such as the Rheinderby, allow additional time. Police measures, supporter separation and altered transport arrangements can affect the normal journey.
Before The Match
Make Borussia-Park part of the day.
Unlike stadiums located directly in a historic city centre, Borussia-Park sits within a large football and leisure complex. Arriving early gives you time to explore the Borussia environment before entering the ground.
Matchday Germany Tip
If opening times fit your match, combine the stadium visit with the FohlenWelt to understand why Borussia's 1970s teams remain so important to the club's identity.
The Home End
The Nordkurve sets the rhythm.
Borussia's active support is concentrated in the Nordkurve. This is where much of the chanting, flags and coordinated support begins.
For visitors elsewhere in the stadium, the Nordkurve provides a clear focal point for understanding the atmosphere of a Borussia home match.
Regional Rivalry
The Rheinderby changes the temperature.
Matches against 1. FC Köln carry a different intensity. The rivalry connects football with competing identities across the Rhineland and is one of the region's defining fixtures.
If you attend the Rheinderby, expect ticket demand, transport arrangements and the atmosphere around the stadium to differ from a normal league match.

Inside The Stadium
Watch the Nordkurve as well as the pitch.
Borussia-Park is a modern stadium, but its character comes from the supporters. The Nordkurve provides the visual and vocal centre of the home atmosphere, especially when flags and coordinated support fill the standing end.
