Eichenring Scheeßel Speedway Stadium

The oak ring was first completed in 1951 on a former racetrack in Appel near Helvesiek (about 10 kilometers north of Scheeßel) and had a length of 850 meters. The racetrack was operated by the motor sports club Scheeßel, which changed its name to the motor sport club Eichenring (short: MSC Eichenring) in the same year. Location: ♁53 ° 14 '20 "N, 9 ° 31' 7" EIn 1963, the train in Appel could no longer meet the requirements of the international association. For this reason, today's oak ring with a length of at first 1000 meters was built on a large piece of farmland near Scheeßel and inaugurated next year with the final run to the European Championship in 1964.

 In the following years, the stadium was upgraded to one of the most modern in Europe and the track extended to a long-distance track of 1300 meters. For this reason, many finals of championships - including international - (eg German Championships, European Championships, World Championships) were held on the Eichenring.
