The Kurt-Wabbel-Stadion was a multi-purpose stadium in Halle (Saale), Germany. It was used mostly for football matches and was the home of Hallescher FC until 2010. It had a capacity of 23,860.

The stadium was opened in 1936 and was originally named after SA officer Horst Wessel, before it was renamed the Kurt-Wabbel-Stadion, in honour of following the end of World War Two. The stadium was used by Turbine Halle and Chemie Halle, who later changed their name to Hallescher FC.[1]

It was closed in 2010 and replaced by Erdgas Sportpark.
