Stadtwaldhaus, Heritage monument in Krefelder Stadtwald, Germany.

Stadtwaldhaus is a restaurant and listed building at Hüttenallee 108 in the Krefeld forest in Bockum. The complex was built in two phases: the Waldschänke (1901/1902) by Hermann Bergerfurth, and a 1910/1911 hall and terrace extension by Georg Bruggaier. The north gable bears a monumental Jugendstil mosaic by Adolf Münzer showing Artemis on the Kerynitian hind with a black raven.

The first part, a restaurant and spa house called Waldschänke, was built in 1901/1902 to plans by Hermann Bergerfurth, funded by a donation from silk merchant Wilhelm Deuß and opened on 8 July 1902 by Deuß and mayor Ernst Küper. A second Deuß donation paid for the 1910/1911 extension with function halls and a terrace, designed by Art Nouveau architect Georg "Jörg" Bruggaier. In the Second World War it served as a provisional Wehrmacht barracks, then as quarters and casino for the US Army; from 1947 it returned to its original use. In 1959 citizens blocked plans to demolish it for a new city hall, and it has been a listed monument since 13 August 1984.

The building brings people together for local events and gatherings in a woodland setting where the community regularly meets. It shapes how residents experience and use the surrounding forest area.

The building sits at a convenient junction for several walking routes and serves as a natural starting point for exploring the forest. Visitors can find their bearings and plan outings from this central location.

In 1959, Krefeld citizens opposed city plans to demolish the building for a new Stadthalle, and it has been a protected monument since 13 August 1984. The north gable carries a monumental Jugendstil mosaic by Adolf Münzer showing the goddess Artemis on the Kerynitian hind with a black raven.
