The Grosser Preis von Bayern is a Group 1 flat horse race in Germany open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.
It is run at Munich Racecourse over a distance of 2,400 metres (about 1½ miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in early November.
The event was established in 1957, and it was originally held at Gelsenkirchen and called the Aral-Pokal.
The present system of race grading was introduced in Germany in 1972, and the Aral-Pokal was initially classed at Group 2 level.
In 2012 it was transferred to Munich racecourse and renamed the Grosser Preis von Bayern.
