The Güntzwiesen are a green space and urban open space in Dresden. They are the location of the Dresden Stadium, named after Rudolf Harbig, the home of SG Dynamo Dresden. The Güntzwiesen bear their name after Justus Friedrich Güntz, who in 1856 set up a foundation (Güntzstiftung), whose funds were later used to design the meadows, among other things. Its northern part has been called Cockerwiese since 2016, after this name had already existed colloquially since Joe Cocker's big concert on June 2, 1988.
