The foundation stone for the Nürburgring was laid 100 years ago. In the beech forest near what would later become the start and finish line, this moment on September 27, 1925 marked a milestone for the “First German Mountain Race and Test Track” – and at the same time a symbolic event for the sustainable development of an entire region. What began as an emergency measure against unemployment is now a versatile event, leisure, and business location, an international flagship, and a central economic factor for an entire region. The foundation stone is still preserved near the historic paddock, 100 years after it was laid. Simple in design, featuring a racing car and the number 1925, it is considered the oldest relic of the Nürburgring and is also a symbol of the durability of the most demanding race track in the world. “The laying of the foundation stone was an important moment in a story that continues to this day. The Nürburgring is not only a crucial part of motorsport history and the development of the automobile, but also the heart and identity of the region,” explains Managing Director Christian Stephani. His fellow managing director, Ingo Böder, also sees the foundation stone as a message that extends into the present: “The fact that this stone has been preserved for 100 years is symbolic of the Nürburgring's enduring nature – despite all the challenges and changes that have affected this place over the course of a century.” The way for the laying of the foundation stone was paved by personalities such as Hans Weidenbrück from Bonn, who founded the Adenau Automobile Club in early 1925, thus providing the initial impetus for a racetrack on the roads around the Nürburg. However, the decisive driving force was Adenau District Administrator Dr. Otto Creutz, who developed the idea of a closed, permanent racetrack at an early stage. He promoted the project in Berlin with great dedication and recognized both the tourist and economic opportunities it offered. The Adenau district council had already decided on the construction in the spring of 1925, Gustav Eichler's engineering office was commissioned, and work began in the summer – a development that turned vision into reality in a remarkably short time. On the day the foundation stone was laid in 1925, more than 600 people were already working on the construction of the track, and by the end of the year there were around 2,000. Blasting, earthworks, and construction work dominated the scene, while politicians and sports officials set the course for a project that was to give the economically weak Eifel region a much-needed boost. The track did not yet have an official name at that time. It was not until October 30, 1925, that it was given the original name “Nürburg-Ring” – although the spelling without a hyphen was also found occasionally at that time, it was not until later that the common form “Nürburgring” became established. Today, the Nürburgring is more than just a race track. With hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, major motorsport and sporting events, festivals, and tourism offerings, it contributes significantly to the region's economic strength. In addition, it is an important testing and development center for the automotive and supplier industry, offers companies a wide range of B2B opportunities – from conferences and trade fairs to major events – and has a variety of indoor locations. The foundation stone from 1925 is not only a historical monument, but also a visible sign of how a vision became a lasting engine for development and identity throughout the region.

Exactly 100 years ago today – on August 13, 1925 – the construction of the Nürburgring was granted official status as a “major emergency project” by the Ministry of Welfare. This decision marked the decisive starting point for one of the most extraordinary infrastructure projects of the interwar period – and the beginning of a success story that continues to shape motorsport fans and the Eifel region to this day. The contracts with the four construction companies that built the track, which was over 28 kilometers long at the time, within two years were signed the very next day. The work began with a tremendous effort: up to 2,300 people were employed at the same time, most of them previously unemployed in the region. For many, the construction of the Nürburgring was not only a source of income in difficult times, but also a chance to be part of something lasting – a race track that soon gained worldwide renown. August 13, 1925, thus marks not only a historic milestone for motorsport, but also an economic turning point for the entire Eifel region. The vision of those responsible and the energy of countless workers created a venue that remains a magnet for racing enthusiasts and a driving force for tourism, business, and culture to this day. ℹ️ The Nürburgring was opened in 1927. On the #Roadto100, we are looking back at various milestones in our long history as we approach our big anniversary year!

Dacia Germany has brought the Nürburgring Offroad Park to life with a very special event over the past few days. The exciting off-road terrain is just a stone's throw away from the famous Nordschleife and offers a wide range of uses across 80,000 square meters. Dacia Germany has now used this for an event that is well worth seeing. Highlights included a vehicle camp with roof tent overnight stays and campfire romance, as well as high-speed laps by rally legend Sébastien Loeb in his Dakar race car. Carbon body, all-wheel drive, and a 360 hp V6 engine: the Dacia Sandrider usually takes on the rough tracks of the Dakar Rally. This year, the famous test of endurance for man and machine covered around 8,000 kilometers through the desert of Saudi Arabia. Now the vehicle, which won several stages of the Dakar, celebrated its premiere at the Nürburgring – fittingly in parallel with the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, which is also world-famous and unforgiving. In this case, however, the big stage was not the Nordschleife, but the Offroadpark Nürburgring at the foot of the race track. For many years, fun and adrenaline have been waiting there for larger groups, B2B events, and corporate customers of the Nürburgring on an area of around 80,000 square meters. Whether steep uphill, through gravel, or in the middle of water obstacles, the off-road park consists of various modules that can be used individually. Dacia Germany used these to create a spectacular off-road race track for the Dakar racing car – complete with jumps and flying gravel. At the wheel was none other than Frenchman Sébastien Loeb, the most successful rally driver of all time with nine world championship titles. Happy Dacia customers, expert journalists, and influential influencers took their seats alongside the rally legend for an unforgettable ride. There was also plenty to cheer about for many spectators of the 24-hour race: the Dacia Camp was open to all visitors on these days. In addition to a large vehicle exhibition, autograph sessions, and other activities, there was also a competition to win rides in the rally car. Those who weren't riding alongside Loeb and other Dakar pros could test the off-road capabilities of numerous current Dacia models on and off the Nürburgring off-road park under the guidance of experienced race track instructors. As the crowning glory of each day, some Dacia guests experienced the unique camping atmosphere of the Nürburgring. On a large plateau above the area, they enjoyed the campfire atmosphere in roof tents and watched the hustle and bustle around the 24-hour race in the Green Hell.“With this event, Dacia Germany has impressively demonstrated the versatility of our off-road park,” praised Christian Stephani, Managing Director of the Nürburgring. “The laps of the Dacia Sandrider in particular were a rally spectacle the likes of which the Nürburgring Offroad Park has rarely seen before.” ➡️ Want to escape the daily grind.
