In 2007, SV Wehen, based in Taunusstein, was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga. As the old Wehen stadium was not suitable for the Bundesliga, the club's professional section relocated to Wiesbaden and was renamed SV Wehen Wiesbaden. Within a few months, a stadium that met the DFB's requirements had to be built in order to obtain a match permit for the 2nd Bundesliga.

The arena, which is conveniently located near Wiesbaden's main railway station, was completed in just four months and bears the name Brita-Arena of SV Wehen's long-standing main sponsor. It is a pure soccer stadium without a running track, has a capacity for around 12,000 spectators and is operated by Berliner Straße GmbH & Co KG. The Brita-Arena was opened on October 11, 2007 with a friendly match against Borussia Dortmund.

In 2014, the city of Wiesbaden decided to expand the arena into a permanent facility with a slightly larger capacity.
