Centennial Hall in Wrocław was designed by Max Berg. Günther Trauer, Richard Konwiarz and Heinrich Müller-Breslau were the structural engineers. The article names no client, but Breslau's municipal authorities paid the costs after waiting for state funding. Groundbreaking was in 1911, and it opened on May 20, 1913.
The article calls it an early landmark of reinforced concrete architecture and names no style. The inner diameter is 226 feet (69 m), the height 138 feet (42 m) and the dome height 75 feet (23 m). It seats 7,000 in the quatrefoil form, and the text says the arena holds 10,000 after renovation.
It opened for the centenary of the Battle of Leipzig. UNESCO listed it in 2006. The infobox gives a 2009 to 2011 renovation, while the text says 1997 and 2010. The Visitor Centre opens Thursday to Sunday, 10 am to 6 pm, for a small fee.
