Radoslava Cimermana) is the traditional home ground of NK Lokomotiva Zagreb but due to the size of the facility it is only used for club's base and youth teams.[2] It was once a significant motorcycle speedway stadium run by the Avto Moto Društvo Remetinec. It hosted competitions throughout the 1960s, including a qualifying round of the Speedway World Championship in 1960 and 1970[3][4] and a round of the 1967 Speedway World Team Cup.[5]

editIn 2004, there was a boom of Chinese immigration at Kajzerica, leading some to call it a 'Chinatown'.[6] By 2014, the Chinese shops in the city were no longer concentrated in Kajzerica.[7]
