Deutsches Stadion was a multi-use sports stadium in Berlin, Germany. It was located at Deutsches Sportforum in the present-day Westend quarter on the northern rim of the large Grunewald forest. Built according to plans designed by Otto March, it was opened on 8 June 1913, on the occasion of Emperor Wilhelm II's silver jubilee, due to host the 1916 Summer Olympics that were cancelled after the outbreak of World War I. The stadium was demolished 20 years later and replaced by the current Olympiastadion.
