"Located only 7.5 km. from Oberwiesenfeld,
the site presented no traffic problems after
improvements had been made at the feeder
roads. A further advantage is the proximity
of the suburban railway station of Oberschleissheim.
The parking places are enclosed
by hedges and separated from the
actual regatta grounds by a stream which
has been diverted. From this parking area,
visitors arrive at the rear of the main grandstand.
The steel beams of the framework of the
grandstand are enclosed in wood and form
a kind of arcade, roofed over above a
certain height and leading to the three
floors of the stand. Spectators occupy the
first floor, guests of honor and the press
use the second, while the top floor is reserved
for radio and television commentators
and their equipment. A post office,
restaurant, first-aid station and toilet facilities
are located on the spectators' floor,
where there is also a boat exhibition
showing the development of rowing boats
and canoes. The grandstand has 8,000
seats, half of which are covered by a roof
which projects as far as the middle row.
For the Olympic Games, a provisional
grandstand with standing room for 16,000
spectators was erected at the starting point
The participants' building which contains
changing rooms, medical rooms, a sports
hall, a conditioning hall, a sauna and
several team rooms, will be used as a
training center for rowing and canoeing
after the Games. Between the building and
the water there are a flat meadow and the
athletes' grandstand with 1,000 seats.
Adjacent to this grandstand a long wall
was piled up and covered with lawn.
During the Games, this wall served as
provisional standing room for about
15,000 spectators"
