Soers
Soers is a community within Aachen and part of the district of Aachen-Laurensberg. The predominantly rural district today stretches from the border of Aachen-Mitte, the central district of Aachen, past the slopes of the Lousberg, a hill in the north of the city. It is a wetland that is drained by several rivers. The Wurm drains at out of the area's north end, and is the only drain of the Rur River in the Aachen Basin. Soers is known mainly as a result of the Old Tivoli, the former football stadium of Alemannia Aachen. The area's largely undeveloped nature and its easy access to the A4 motorway has caused the community to become further developed in recent years. The police headquarters of Aachen were constructed there, as well as the Aachen Prison and Aachen's tax office. Sport Park Soers The city of Aachen, the Aachen-Laurensberg Riding Club (''Rennverein''), and Alemannia Aachen adopted an integrated event and site management for the Sports Park Soers. Much of the sports ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Geography The Wurm is a left (western) tributary of the Rur ( nl, Roer). The Rur is a tributary of the Meuse. The sources of the Wurm are several brooks in the forests southwest of Aachen, which form the Wurm after the ''Diepenbenden'' reservoir.

Old Tivoli
The Old Tivoli in Aachen, Germany, was the stadium of Aachen's best known football team Alemannia Aachen until 2009. Overview In 1908, the city of Aachen leased the area of the old manor Tivoli to the club, named after the inn ''Gut Tivoli'' which was located there since the 19th century, in turn taking its name from the town of Tivoli in central Italy. The club later built a football ground there. In 1925 more land was added to the lease, and the construction of the stadium was started. Inaugurated on 3 June 1928 it had a capacity of 11,000. After World War II Alemannia Aachen played in the ''Oberliga West'', and the stadium became too small. In September 1953 a standing tribune was built (the ''Würselener Wall.'')

The new stadium was inaugurated on 28 August 1957 with a game against RCD Espanyol Reial Club Deportiu Espanyol de Barcelona (; "Royal Spanish Sports Club of Barcel ...
