The first ever international match between the Swiss national team and the German national team was scheduled to take place here in April 1908. Therefore, the authorities decided to build the first spectator stand in Switzerland, at the cost of four thousand Swiss Francs and a building time of more than six months. Following this, the ground was used a number of times as international venue.
