Radrennbahn Messe-Sportpalast

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Radrennbahn Messe-Sportpalast in Hannover was a winter track built in 1949 for track cycling events in what was then Hall 7 on the grounds of the Hannover Messe .

Sports Palace

In 1913 there was already a six-day race in Hanover at the Bella Vista excursion restaurant , the winners at the time were Willy Lorenz and Karl Saldow .

It was not until 1949 that a 187.5-meter-long cycle track was built to host six-day races. The hall in which it was located was widely referred to as the “Messe-Sportpalast”. The organizers were the former world champion in the standing race Erich Möller , his friend Piet van Kempen and Adolf Schön .

Six six- day races were held in the hall between 1950 and 1953 . The first winner in 1950 was the Kilian / Vopel duo, which was already successful in the pre-war period . After their victory, around 10,000 spectators sang the Deutschlandlied . The second six-day race was held in February 1951, which the two Frenchmen Émile Carrara and Guy Lapébie decided for themselves.

In 1953, the organization of races at the Messe-Sportpalast cycle race track was stopped due to a lack of audience approval.

Later knife races

From 1979 to 1981, six-day races were held again on the grounds of Deutsche Messe AG on a 160-meter track in another exhibition hall . A new edition planned for November 2011, also planned in an exhibition hall, was canceled due to illness of the organizer.
