History
The event was established in 1876, and it was initially called the Deutscher Gestüt-Preis. It was originally run at Hoppegarten over 1,200 metres.
The race was renamed the Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen in the 1890s. It was named after Viktor, Herzog von Ratibor (1818–93), who served as chairman of German racing's Union-Club.[1]
The Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen was extended to 1,400 metres in 1906. It was moved to Grunewald and cut to 1,200 metres in 1918. It was restored to 1,400 metres in 1920, and returned to Hoppegarten in 1925.
The race was cancelled in 1945 and 1946. It was held at Gelsenkirchen in 1947 and Dortmund in 1948. It was transferred to Krefeld in 1949, and from this point was usually staged in September.
For a period the Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen held Listed status. It was relegated to National Listed level in 1993, and regained its former status in 2003. It was promoted to Group 3, switched to November and increased to 1,700 metres in 2008.
