Wildparkstadion, Football stadium in Karlsruhe, Germany
Wildparkstadion is an association football venue in Karlsruhe built with modern architecture and distinctive Y-shaped support columns. The ground holds more than 34,000 spectators across different seating and standing areas.
The stadium opened in 1955 after two local football clubs merged and needed a new home ground. Between 2018 and 2023, the facility underwent extensive renovation and modernization work.
The name references the deer park that once occupied this area, land used by the rulers of Baden as a hunting ground centuries ago.
The venue is well-connected by public transport, particularly via S-Bahn lines to nearby Durlacher Tor station for easy access. Visitors with cars should check parking arrangements beforehand, as special regulations may apply during major events.
During the renovation phase between 2018 and 2023, the stadium continued hosting matches with a reduced capacity of around 15,000 seats. This allowed the club to play home games while modernization work progressed around the pitch.
