Beetzsee Regatta Course

The Beetzsee Regatta Course is a rowing and canoeing facility on Beetzsee lake in Brandenburg an der Havel with eight racing lanes and modern infrastructure. It features contemporary timing systems and a large scoreboard positioned in the water to help spectators follow competitions.

The facility opened in 1969 and grew into a center for national and international rowing competitions. It has hosted significant events like junior world championships and European championships, becoming an established venue for top-level sports.

The regatta course serves as a gathering place for rowers and canoeists from across Germany, where athletes from different regions meet during national competitions. It connects top-level sports with local clubs and builds a community centered on water sports.

The site is easy to reach by public transport and has plenty of parking for boat trailers. Visitors should check ahead whether competitions are scheduled on their visit day, as the facility is actively used during events and access may be limited.

The site is known for concrete boat competitions where students design and race watercraft made entirely of concrete. These unusual contests showcase creative solutions to an engineering paradox: boats made from a material that would normally sink.
