Our stadium, An der Alten Försterei, has been the home ground of 1. FC Union Berlin and its predecessors since 1920. However, ‘Alte Försterei’ means much more. This is where the heart of the club beats, where generations of Union players feel at home, where we celebrate successes and stand together in difficult times. Together we write history.

The most beautiful football stadium in the world will - keeping the spirit of its builders - change its face again to provide a safe home for the next generation of Union players and a football fortress for our sporting rivals. And it should always belong to the people who care about it: the members of 1. FC Union Berlin and their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren ... and you too.

So subscribe now for up to ten shares.

We protect what we love!

A Share in the Stadium

Several thousand Unioners already have one: A share in the Alte Försterei. With that unique share, they have secured a very personal piece of Union’s home -, a share in the ‘An der Alten Försterei Stadionbetriebs-Aktiengesellschaft’. When these shares were first issued, back in December 2011, around 11,000 Union members were entitled to subscribe. Today, that number is almost 70,000 - and these members should also have the opportunity to be involved in their stadium.

  • Exclusively for Union members only
  • Lovingly designed and personalised shares worth €500
  • Our stadium = our property
  • The perfect gift for your nearest and dearest

Can underage Union members also become stadium owners?
Yes, but the subscription form for the share must be signed by a parent or tutor.
Can I still become a Union member in order to purchase stadium shares?
No, the deadline for incoming membership applications expired on November 30. If you have any questions, please contact our share office at the stadium.
How much will the stadium share cost?
The price for a stadium share remains unchanged at 500 euros
How many shares can I buy?
Up to 10 stadium shares can be purchased. 
What do I need to purchase a stadium share?
A valid ID document is mandatory, regardless of whether you subscribe online or on site at the share office or in the arsenals. The membership number is also required. This can be found on your membership card or in your personal Union-account under Membership.
Can I give a stadium share as a gift?
Yes, if you want to make someone happy with a stadium share, you can have it issued in the name of the recipient. We explain below what you need to have in mind.
What do I need to have in mind if I want to give a stadium share as a gift?
The recipient must be a Union member, the donor does not. The recipient must officially approve the gift by 6 p.m. on February 05, 2025. The recipient will receive a request to this effect by e-mail. This consent can be given quickly and easily digitally. Anyone who needs help can contact our Share Office or the Armory. No separate consent is required for a minor child; one parent is sufficient to subscribe, authorize and pay for the share in the child's name.
I would like to give a stadium share as a Christmas present. Is there anything I can give before the share is finalised?
During the subscription process, we offer you the option of printing out a designed subscription certificate or obtaining one from the Share’s office and the Union Zeughaus Stores
If I want to give a share as a gift, do I have to provide the membership number of the recipient?
No, it is not necessary. However, doing so does make it easier for us to process.
Can several people share a stadium share?
No, a stadium share can only be issued to one person. Ownership of the share is linked to the right to vote at the AG's Annual General Meeting. This can only be exercised by one person.
How can I pay for a stadium share?
Payment is made at the end of the subscription process. All usual payment methods are available online except for credit card payment with American Express. In the shares office and in the Zeughaus stores, payment can be made either electronically or in cash.
Is it possible to pay for a stadium share in installments?
We offer installment payment options via a payment provider. These will only be available online.
Can I use discount codes or Zeughaus vouchers to pay for the share?
No, unfortunately not.
What happens to the money I have paid for the stadium share?
The proceeds from the associated capital increase will be used to create a robust equity and balance sheet structure for Stadionbetriebs AG. This will facilitate the financing measures for the planned and long-awaited stadium expansion by many Union fans.
When will I receive my new stadium share?
Probably at the mid of April 2025. Once the subscription period has expired, the capital increase will be examined and registered by the local court.
Where and when can I get the subscription form?
Anyone purchasing shares via the online portal does not require a subscription form. For all others, the following subscription forms are available for download:
Is there a dividend?
As with the issue of the first shares, there are no plans to distribute profits. The profits and the proceeds of the capital increase serve to create a robust equity and balance sheet structure for Stadionbetriebs AG. This will facilitate the financing of the planned stadium expansion, which many Union fans have longed for.
What happens to personalised shares after the member's death?
These belong to the deceased's estate like any other property and automatically pass to the heirs. The transfer of the share can be applied for by presenting the certificate of inheritance to Stadionbetriebs AG.
What do heirs who have no connection to our club and want to sell the shares do?
If you wish to pass on a share, please contact Stadionbetriebs AG.
Can I choose my shareholder number?
No, unfortunately not. This is automatically assigned.
