The Krefelder Galopprennbahn is a racing facility featuring a 2,200-meter track with grandstands positioned for clear views throughout the circuit. The venue includes modern amenities designed for spectator comfort and provides good sightlines to the horse races from various locations.

The facility was founded in 1855 and ranks among Germany's oldest racetracks with a long history of hosting national and international competitions. Over the decades, it has become an important center for horse racing in the region.

The Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen draws racing enthusiasts and horsemen each year as a highlight of the racing calendar. On race days, spectators gather in the stands to watch the competitions and share in the excitement of the events.

The grounds feature dedicated parking areas and good public transport connections, making it easy to arrive. Tickets can be purchased through the rennbahn-tickets.de website and provide access to the stands and the racing grounds.

Beyond racing events, the grounds serve as an event venue with three separate buildings that can host gatherings from 30 to 1,000 people. This shows how the place has evolved into a versatile event center beyond its original purpose.
