The Bergring Arena is a 18,000-capacity multi-use stadium in Teterow, Germany.[1] It hosts one of the rounds of the Speedway Grand Prix, which is the premier world event in motorcycle speedway.[2]

History

The stadium opened on 18 May 2002 as the Kellerholz Arena and the speedway track has a circumference of 314 metres[2] which cost €270,000 to lay.[3]

On 23 May 2010, the Arena was renamed the Bergring Arena.[4]

The stadium has been used as the venue for the World Championship round known as the Speedway Grand Prix of Germany from 2016 to 2019.[5] In 2020, the Grand Prix did not take place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However the event made a return for the 2022 Speedway Grand Prix.[6]

The track record was broken in 2017 by Australian Ty Proctor (59.75 sec) on 22 May 2010 but it was bettered by Matej Žagar who recorded 58.06 sec on 9 September 2017.
