history
The initiative to organize a hill climb in Hausen came from Karl Exner . With some friends, he organized the first race in 1969. Organizationally, they were supported by Fritz Steigerwald , then a member of the government at the Mellrichstadt district office , and Alex Hösl , a member of the Bundestag from Nordheim vor der Rhön . In response to criticism, they said:
"In a democratic society all sports groups should be given the opportunity to practice their sport."
On the Friday evening of the first race weekend, it was so stormy that part of the infrastructure was destroyed. Despite the quick restoration over night, the weather and a small starting field resulted in a financial disaster. Thanks to the sponsors , however, the finances could be improved again and the race could be held again in the following years. The first three races were called “Heidelstein Hill Climb”, before it was renamed “Hauenstein Hill Climb” on a recommendation from Mayor Markert at the time. The big breakthrough came with the organization of the German Mountain Championship. Exner, a memorial stone was donated in the double curve.
The line was last rebuilt in 2007 and received its current length.
