Ludwigsparkstadion is a multi-purpose stadium in Saarbrücken, Germany. The stadium was built in 1953 and once held 35,303 people. After renovation, which lasted from 2016 to 2021 and cost €46.5M, the capacity has been reduced to around 16,000 seats.[2]

It is currently used mostly for football matches and concerts.

It served as the home ground for the Saarland national football team, which existed 1950–56, during the era of the Saar Protectorate.[1]
