The Grotenburg-Stadion (German pronunciation: [ˈɡʁoːtn̩bʊʁkˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn] ) is a multi-use stadium in Krefeld, Germany.

It is used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches for former DFB-Pokal winner KFC Uerdingen 05.

The stadium has a capacity of 34,500 and was built in 1927.

The 1970s brought significant renovations, including new seating and a floodlight system.

In the 1980s, further expansions and modernizations took place, transforming it into a modern stadium.

Despite periods of decline and closure, recent renovations and community efforts have revitalized the stadium, allowing it to continue hosting events.[1]
