The Düsseldorf-Grafenberg racecourse was built in 1909. The gallop races, which had been held since 1836, initially in connection with the Lower Rhine Music Festival, initially took place in the Golzheimer Heide, in the Bilker Busch and in the Benrather Heide, and from 1891 on the Lausward. It was not until 1909 that the current location on Grafenberg, southwest of Haus Roland, was gradually developed. The racecourse is located in the district of Ludenberg and is in the forest. There is also a golf club, parts of which are located within the area of the racecourse. There is the racetrack beer garden and the riding stable gastronomy.
