Cult history at a glance
2026–present
As of July 1, 2026, the stadium has been named “Plutos Stadion am Bieberer Berg” as part of a naming partnership initially set to last three years. Stadiongesellschaft Bieberer Berg GmbH has secured a strong partner in Plutos Vermögensverwaltung AG, which will serve as the stadium’s namesake for this historic venue going forward.
2021–2026
Since March 2021, what has never changed for many is official again. To mark its 100th birthday on May 21, the stadium was given back its original name with the support of Energieversorgung Offenbach, Städtische Sparkasse Offenbach am Main, Stadtwerke Offenbach and Gemeinnützige Baugesellschaft Offenbach and is now called Stadion am Bieberer Berg again.
2020
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sparda-Bank Hessen waived the naming rights it had acquired from April 2020 until further notice and temporarily renamed the stadium "Kommt-Gesund-Wieder-Stadion". This was also linked to a fundraising campaign for a "thank you celebration" for all employees in systemically important professions in Offenbach.

OFC became champions of the Regionalliga Südwest with a ten-point lead over second-placed 1. FC Saarbrücken. Unfortunately, both relegation matches against 1. FC Magdeburg were lost, meaning that OFC continued to play in the Regionalliga Südwest in the 2015/2016 season.

The total costs amount to 25 million euros.
2005 - 2007
As part of a special investment program "Sportland Hessen 2005 - 2007", the state of Hesse is providing 1.2 million euros for the renovation work that has become urgently necessary following promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga. During the 2006/2007 summer break, the stadium will be given a new pitch and pitch heating, and the south-east stand will receive a new cabin wing.
1991 - 1998
Club crisis: The city considers selling or demolishing the stadium. This is prevented by the Offenbach Post's "Save Bieberer Berg" campaign and protests by the fans. One year later, the OFC takes over the stadium on a leasehold basis. In the 1990s, the roof of the main stand is repaired, an OFC logo is added to the south-east stand on the initiative of the fan club, an electric scoreboard is installed and the standing area is extended.

1952 - 1956
10,000 additional seats are created by the construction of a new roofed standing stand opposite the main stand. Also: Inauguration of the first floodlight system with four masts.
