Rollingergrund (German pronunciation: [ˈʁɔlɪŋɐˌɡʁʊnt]; Luxembourgish: Rollengergronn, pronounced [ˌʀoleŋɐˈɡʀon] ) is an area of north-western Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It forms the majority of the district of Rollingergrund-North Belair.

Rollingergrund developed around the porcelain factory of Villeroy & Boch.[1] While it originally belonged to Luxembourg City, after the territorial reorganisation under the French regime (1795-1814) it was part of the commune of Eich.[1] After it received its own parish in 1843, the population sought political autonomy, and it became a commune in the canton of Luxembourg from 8 May 1849, when it was split from the commune of Eich.[2][1] On 26 March 1920 it was again merged into the city of Luxembourg, along with Eich, Hamm and Hollerich.[3]

Michel Engels (1851–1901), the celebrated illustrator, author and art teacher, was born in Rollingergrund.[4]
