History

The event was established in 1968, and it was originally called the Grosser Preis von Dortmund. It was initially contested over 2,200 metres. Its distance was frequently modified during the 1970s.

The race began a period over 1,800 metres in 1981, and a new length of 1,750 metres was introduced in 1998. It was extended to 2,000 metres in 2008 but return to 1,750 meters in 2013
