Bernauer Schleife, tor wyścigowy (Niemcy)
The Bernauer Schleife was a racing circuit in the Barnim District consisting of a road course with sharp turns and straight sections designed to test driving skill. The track was originally almost 6 kilometers long and had space for spectators positioned along the course.
The track opened in 1935 and operated until 1973, when racing activities ceased. During those years, numerous competitions took place featuring various vehicle classes, and it became an important part of local motorsport culture.
The Bernauer Schleife was a gathering place for local motorsport fans, where families and neighbors came together to watch races and share the excitement of competition. Race days brought the community together in a spirit of shared enthusiasm, with spectators of all ages enjoying the thrill and discussing the fastest drivers.
The location was situated at the intersection of the A10 and A11 autobahns, making it easily accessible from different parts of the region. Visitors can walk around the grounds when no events are taking place to view the remaining track and surrounding landscape.
A tragic accident in 1954 during a motorcycle event claimed the lives of three race officials when a driver lost control and struck the safety barriers. This disaster marked a turning point for safety standards in motorsport and left a lasting impact on the sport's development.
