16-year-old from Kleve builds impressive football stadiums out of Lego!

In the small town of Kleve, where football and toys have a special connection, 16-year-old Jonas Eul has developed a fascinating hobby. The teenager took on the challenge of building football stadiums out of Lego. Over the last six years he has created over 70 stadiums, with each model crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. Eul combines his passion for football and construction, and he brings not only creativity to his works, but also a deeper appreciation for the places where games take place.

He is currently busy rebuilding the Schüco Arena, better known as the Bielefelder Alm. This home of third division club Arminia Bielefeld not only requires skilled hands from Eul, but also a precise idea of ​​what makes a stadium tick. “Every stadium is unique because of the fans,” he reflects. “One is basically just a concrete structure, but the atmosphere that the fans create gives it life.” It is this connection between architecture and passion that drives him and at the same time motivates him to keep starting new projects.

The art of stadium construction and its challenges

Every week Jonas dedicates between three and ten hours to his Lego hobby, although the amount of time depends heavily on his school commitments. The costs for the colorful stones are not insignificant, and Jonas has already invested over 1,000 euros in his project. “It’s a real investment in my passion,” he adds with a wink. On his travels he brings with him inspiring ideas, a kind of “stadium check” on vacation, where he explores the ambience and details of the different stadiums.

Although he puts a lot of time and money into building, Jonas doesn't think about selling his creations. After about two to three weeks, it shows the door to its stadiums again to make room for new buildings. This may seem crazy to many, but for him it is part of the game: “After a good game comes the kick-off to the next one.” His dream is to one day give one of his replicas to a football club or even exhibit them in a museum.

Jonas Eul's story shows not only the joy of building, but also the passion that many football fans associate with their clubs. For him, the Lego Stadium is not just a toy, but an expression of his love for the sport and the community that grows around the games. Until this dream becomes a reality, he will continue to work tirelessly, building new Lego stadiums that tell of the fans and the individual history of each location.
