Krefelder Stadtwald, Landscape park in Bockum, Krefeld, Germany

Krefelder Stadtwald is a 120-hectare landscape park and wooded area in the Bockum district of Krefeld, laid out from 1897 in the style of an English landscape garden on plans by Düsseldorf garden architect Fritz Rosorius. It holds a large meadow with football goals, a children's playground, a branched pond system with pedal-boat rental, and the Krefeld gallop racecourse, a golf course, a hockey pitch and tennis courts.

The park began in 1897 when silk manufacturer Wilhelm Deuss gave the city a 35-hectare plot and donated 20,000 marks for its planting and development. Düsseldorf garden architect Fritz Rosorius designed it as an English landscape garden, and the first sections opened to the public in 1901. In 1907 Deuss gave another 50,000 marks to buy surrounding land for expansion.

The Stadtwaldhaus beer garden serves as a central gathering place where locals and visitors come together for events and social occasions. The venue reflects the tradition of combining recreation with community life in a shared public space.

The park lies in the Bockum district and is crossed by walking paths around a branched pond system where pedal boats are rented. A large meadow with football goals, a children's playground, golf, hockey and tennis facilities sit within the grounds, and the Stadtwaldhaus beer garden seats about 3,000 people outdoors.

The park gained recognition in 2004 as part of the Garden Art Route connecting regions between the Rhine and Meuse rivers, joining a network of landscape design sites. This acknowledgment highlights the artistic planning behind its design, extending beyond its role as a simple recreational space.
