Garching, Germany, February 13, 2025 – LEDVANCE partners with German Bundesliga team SV Werder Bremen and the Bremer Weser-Stadion GmbH to revamp the floodlights and stadium lighting system of the Weser Stadium. The club commissioned LEDVANCE, one of the world's leading providers of general lighting, to replace the existing luminaires. The system no longer fulfils the German Football Association’s (DFL) specifications and the requirements of modern TV broadcasting for stadium lighting. As the masts of the iconic floodlight system are the landmark of the Weser Stadium they will be integrated into the new lighting concept with modern LEDs.
Bernd Kobusch, Head of Territory DACH, LEDVANCE: “We are proud to be Werder’s partner of choice for implementing this project and modernize the lighting technology in the Weser Stadium according to UEFA standard. Fans can look forward to a perfectly illuminated football experience in this tradition-steeped stadium.”
Although the new lightning concept still integrates the iconic masts, fewer floodlights will be used than before. This will significantly reduce light emissions. In total, around 260 floodlights will be installed.
Hans-Jörg Otto, Managing Director of Bremer Weser-Stadion GmbH, is also looking forward to the transformation: “These measures will ensure optimal and future-proof lighting and will make our iconic floodlight masts shine in a new light for the upcoming season.”
Official partnership with Werder Bremen until 2027
LEDVANCE has been an official exclusive partner of SV Werder Bremen since the start of the season. This partnership is now being expanded to include a comprehensive collaboration in the field of lighting. The contract with the club runs until the end of June 2027.
Ronny Hanke, Regional Sales Manager, Trade Germany North, LEDVANCE: “Our partnership with Werder Bremen offers us the opportunity to position LEDVANCE even stronger as a partner for modern lighting concepts within the sports and event sector. For example, we will have a stand at the ‘Fans’ Day’ at the start of the season.”
