Comment

The Westfalenhalle in Dortmund was originally built in 1952. It was constructed to replace the old Westfalenhalle, which was destroyed during World War II. Since the medal is from 1975, we can subtract the years to find the time interval between the construction of the Westfalenhalle and the year on the medal: 1975 (year on the medal) - 1952 (year Westfalenhalle was built) = 23 years. So, the Westfalenhalle had been in existence for 23 years by the time the medal was issued in 1975.
