History

edit

The event was established in 1921, and it was originally called the Preis von Birlinghoven. Its distance frequently changed during the early part of its history.

Robert Gerling, an insurance entrepreneur, became the sponsor of the race in 1934. From this point it was known as the Gerling-Preis.

The race began its current period over 2,400 metres in 1969. It held Group 3 status from 1972 to 1974, and from 1984 to 1988. It was raised to Group 2 level in 1989.

The Gerling-Preis is Germany's oldest surviving sponsored horse race.

The race renamed to Carl Jaspers-Preis in 2019
