History edit

Team 70 Neumünster edit

The origins of the Brokstedt speedway team began with a club called Team 70 Neumünster who were founded in 1970 and were the first champions of West Germany in 1973. They played their home fixtures at the VfR-Stadion an der Geerdtsstraße (today called the Grümmi-Arena) in Neumünster.

Team 70 Brokstedt edit

In 1975, the Holsteinring was constructed and Team 70 Neumünster moved to the new stadium in Brokstedt becoming Team 70 Brokstedt. The team won further West German Championships in 1980 and 1981.[3] The legendary German rider Egon Müller rode for the club.
