history

The Berlin Grand Prix was held for the first time in 1888 on the Hoppegarten horse racing track over a distance of 2000 meters; in 1897 the distance to be completed was changed to 2200 meters.

From 1909 this race was held on the Grunewald racecourse in Berlin and until 1926 the distance was now 2400 meters. From 1927 the distance was extended to 2600 m.

In 1934 the race went back to Hoppegarten because the Olympic Stadium for the 1936 Olympic Games was being built on the grounds of the Grunewald racecourse. In 1937 the race was renamed the “Grand Prix of the Reich Capital” and the distance was shortened to 2,400 m. In 1943 and 1944, the race was held again over 2600 m.

Due to the Second World War , the race in 1945 and 1946 could not be held.

After the war, the race was held in West Germany from 1947 on the Duesseldorf racecourse over 2400 m and was now called the Grand Prix of North Rhine-Westphalia. From 1948 to 1964, over 2600 m was run. Since 1965 the distance has been 2400 m. In 1972 the race was classified as a group Ι race and from 1977 the original name “Grand Prix of Berlin” or “Grand Prize of the Berliner Bank” was used again. In 1996 the race was renamed the “Germany Prize” and in 2010 it was merged with the “Hansa Prize”.

Since 2011 the race has been held in Hoppegarten again and is called the “Grand Prix of Berlin”. It will be held there as part of the Grand Prix Meeting.
