| Situated in the Tempelhof-Schoneberg area of

was built and financed by Bruno Cassirer who made his fortune in publishing. By 1920 it
had developed into one of the largest racecourses in Germany. |

It boasts a 5 storey grandstand with a glass front which
provides superb viewing opportunites. Racing is now mostly of the harness or trotting
variety. |
