Radrennbahn Fredersdorf

1953. The whispers began in Fredersdorf-Vogelsdorf. A dream of speed, a vision of whirling wheels and cheering crowds took hold. This dream materialized into the Radrennbahn Fredersdorf in 1956. The Radrennbahn Fredersdorf, a 333-meter ribbon of bitumen, banked at a daring 21 degrees in the curves, was ready to host its first race. 3,000 spectators flocked to witness the birth of a cycling legend. The Radrennbahn Fredersdorf quickly became a beloved venue. It hosted the 1957 East German Championship in men’s madison cycling. Hans “Hanne” Wagner and Heinz Wahl of SC Einheit Berlin emerged victorious, etching their names into the track’s history. The Radrennbahn Fredersdorf wasn’t limited to just bicycles. The roar of engines joined the cheers of the crowd in 1967 as go-kart races began. The track underwent a significant transformation in 1980. The riding surface was renewed, ensuring a smooth and fast ride for the competitors. Racing resumed in 1982. Later, in 1993, the Radrennbahn Fredersdorf received further state-funded renovations, solidifying its place in the community. Even in 2009, the Radrennbahn Fredersdorf continued to evolve, receiving a fresh asphalt topcoat, a testament to its enduring appeal. Today, the spirit of competition lives on thanks to the RSG Sprinter Fredersdorf e.V. They organize regular track cycling races, including the prestigious Albert-Richter-Sprintercup of the German Cycling Federation. The Radrennbahn Fredersdorf isn’t just a track. It’s a testament to the enduring passion for cycling, a stage for thrilling races, and a vibrant hub of the community.
