The stadium was handed over on 29 May 1955 with over 11,000 spectator places. After BSG Stahl Riesa was promoted to the DDR-Oberliga, it was expanded in summer 1968 to a maximum capacity of 14,000. It remained the home ground of FC Stahl Riesa 98 until that club was dissolved in 2003, after which it stood unused for years.

The stadium is named after Ernst Grube, a German politician who resisted the Nazi regime. Locals call this place Die Grube, a nickname that reflects the venue's role in the area's sports life.

The stadium is located at Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße 40 and is easily reached by public transport. Keep in mind that the venue currently requires significant maintenance work and operates only for special occasions.

A football match took place in 2024 for the first time in years, requiring 100 tons of soil to restore the playing field. This event showed that the local sports community has not entirely abandoned the historic grounds.
