Galopprennbahn Köln-Weidenpesch

The Galopprennbahn in Weidenpesch is one of Germany's oldest racecourses, operated by the Kölner Renn-Verein 1897 e.V., which holds race days through the year. Outside racing the grounds are used for open-air events. In August 2025 Die Fantastischen Vier played to about 11,000 people and Provinz to about 15,000, and in September 2026 the site hosts a large drone show. Markets and festivals such as the Fisch & Genussmarkt are held several times a year, and the Hippodrom restaurant on site serves brunches and event menus.
