Holstein-Stadion, Football stadium in Kiel, Germany.

Holstein-Stadion is a football ground in the Kiel district of Wik, about five kilometres north of the city centre and close to the Kiel Canal. A covered grandstand with a white roof on grey pillars runs along one side, the far end shows blue seating with the white letters KSN above red and blue stripes, and a long low white-roofed structure stands opposite. The pitch is natural grass.

Holstein Kiel decided in May 1911 to build its own ground after outgrowing Kiel's public pitches; four months of work produced the Holstein-Platz, opened on 15 October 1911 with a 3:4 friendly against Berliner FC Preussen at a cost of 14,500 marks. A 1921 windstorm destroyed the first wooden stand, and a stone-and-wood replacement for 420 spectators opened on 6 August 1922. A general rebuild in 1927–28 brought capacity to 15,000.

The ground is called Holstein-Platz in its early years, and the club's push for it followed the 1910 North German championship and German runners-up finish, when public pitches no longer held the growing following. The Ernst-Föge-Platz behind the north stand honours the president of 1921–1930 and 1948–1949 and now serves as a car park on match days.

The stadium lies in Kiel-Wik, about five kilometres north of the city centre and close to the Kiel Canal. Bus lines 91 and X91 stop at "Am Stadion" and "Holstein-Stadion"; lines 6, 11, 12/13 and 32 stop at "Hanssenstraße" or "Belvedere", roughly five minutes on foot. A bicycle shelter with 750 spaces stands by the ground, and the Veloroute 10 links it with Hassee.

The first wooden grandstand, built in 1911 for 200 spectators, was destroyed by a tornado in autumn 1921; the replacement opened on 6 August 1922 with a match against Kilia Kiel (3:0) and cost 600,000 Mark. Behind the north stand, a former training pitch is named Ernst-Föge-Platz after the club president of 1921–1930 and 1948–1949, and now serves as a car park on match days.
