Currently out of season This is the weekly timetable the rink prints for the 2026/27 season ("EHC Freiburg 2026/27 Aktuelle Eislaufzeiten"); it announces no end date; checked on 3 October 2026. The Saturday and Sunday afternoon times follow the rink's own calendar, which the page names as the current times. The Friday and Sunday evening sessions are left out because there is none on home-game days. Sessions are listed until 2 November 2026; the page does not say what happens on public holidays, so nothing is listed on them. Official schedule update
The ice on Freiburg's Ensisheimer Straße goes back to 1963, when the Eis- und Rollsportclub Freiburg, founded on 30 January 1961 by Franz Siegel and eight others, built a roller rink there. The surface was first frozen in 1967, the first ice hockey game followed on 2 December 1967, and a roof in 1970 and later extensions created the hall that became the Franz-Siegel-Halle.
The club finished sixth in the Bundesliga and won the German Cup in 1983/84, and the hall was regularly sold out. The EHC Freiburg e. V. was founded on 6 September 1984, won promotion to the DEL in 2003 and has been part of the DEL2 since 2015.
The stadium is called the Echte Helden Arena, a name the club dedicates together with an initiative for the Freiburg children's and youth clinics. The club says the arena opens to public skaters from October to early April.
