Rollingergrund ({{langx|lb|Rollengergronn}}, {{IPA|lb|ˌʀoleŋɐˈɡʀon|pron|Lb-Rollengergronn.ogg}}) is an area of north-western Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It forms the majority of the quarter of Rollingergrund-North Belair.

Rollingergrund developed around the porcelain factory of Villeroy & Boch.{{Cite journal |last=Bange |first=Evamarie |date=2012 |title=Je größer desto besser?

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.{{in lang|fr|de}} {{cite web | url=http://www.legilux.public.lu/leg/a/archives/1849/0561805/0561805.pdf#page=1 | title=Mémorial A, 1849, No. 56 | access-date=2006-08-15 | format=PDF | publisher=Service central de législation }} On 26 March 1920 it was again merged into the city of Luxembourg, along with Hamm and Hollerich.{{in lang|fr|de}} {{cite web | url=http://www.legilux.public.lu/leg/a/archives/1920/0232703/0232703.pdf | title=Mémorial A, 1920, No. 23 | access-date=2006-12-21 | publisher=Service central de législation }}
