Rennbahn-Freudenau, Horse racing venue in Leopoldstadt, Austria
The Rennbahn-Freudenau features five grandstands with intricate cast iron architecture spread across an expansive ground near the Prater area of Vienna.
The racing track opened in 1839 on Fleischhacker-Wiese, with Emperor Franz Joseph I attending the inauguration of stands designed by Carl Hasenauer in 1858.
The venue hosted the first Austrian Derby in 1868, establishing itself as a central meeting point for Vienna's social gatherings during the late 19th century.
The facility provides direct railway access from Vienna Westbahnhof station, making it easily accessible for visitors attending racing events and special occasions.
The Kaiserloge, a special box designed by Adolf Feszty in 1870, includes the imperial tribune and two side boxes for distinguished spectators.
