Grotenburg-Stadion, Football stadium in Krefeld, Germany
Grotenburg-Stadion is a football venue in Krefeld with a total capacity of around 34,500 spectators. The facility comprises three concrete stands and one elevated curve section built on a raised earthen mound.
The stadium opened on September 18, 1927, with a match between the local Krefeld team and a Prague opponent. Decades later, in the 1980s, major European clubs like Atlético Madrid came to play away matches at this venue.
The stadium has long served as home to the local football club and shapes the sporting identity of the city. Fans have watched generations of matches here and celebrate their team in a venue that holds deep meaning for them.
When visiting, be aware that the stadium offers both seated and standing areas, providing different viewing experiences depending on preference. The elevated position of the venue on a mound can mean windier and damper conditions during poor weather.
Built in the early 20th century, this is one of Germany's oldest football stadiums still in use. The architecture featuring an artificial mound beneath one of the curves is unusual and gives the venue a distinctive character.
