The Wack Hofmeister Stadium formerly the Altes Stadion Abensberg (the Old Stadium) is a motorcycle speedway and association football stadium located slightly east of the centre of Abensberg in Germany.[1] [2] [3]
It hosts the speedway team MSC Abensberg[4] and the football team TSV Abensberg 1862.[5]
The stadium has hosted international matches for the West Germany national speedway team[6] and in 1964, held the Speedway World Team Cup final.[7]
Also referred to as the Motorstadion Abensberg, the venue hosted the 1985 Individual Speedway Junior European Championship. It was won by Per Jonsson on 14 July 1985, who later became a world champion.[8] The most prestigious speedway event to be held at the track was the first ever Speedway Grand Prix of Germany in 1995,[9] which formed part of the World Championship. The 1995 Speedway Grand Prix of Germany was won by the Dane Tommy Knudsen.[10]
In 2022, the stadium was renamed in honour of former speedway rider Josef Hofmeister (nicknamed Wack Hofmeister).[11] [12]
