Source-derived summary

The Fürstenberg-Rennen is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at a variety of German racecourses, over a distance of 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in August.

The race was run at Baden-Baden until 2010.

History

The event was established in 1880, and it was originally contested over 2,400 metres. For a period it was known as the Preis von Iffezheim.

The distance of the race was modified several times during the early 1900s. It began a spell over 2,200 metres in 1957.

The present race grading system was introduced in Germany in 1972, and the Fürstenberg-Rennen was given Group 3 status. It was cut to 2,000 metres in 2001.

The event was titled the Belmondo-Preis in 2010.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as horse race. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5511762. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 1880, 1957 and 1972.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
