The Cologne-Weidenpesch Racecourse (Galopprennbahn Köln-Weidenpesch) is a horse racing track at Weidenpescher Park in Nippes, Cologne.
The larger of the two grandstands was designed as a cast iron and timber framing structure in 1898 and substantially renovated in 2004.
Until recently, the sportsgrounds were also home to Cologne's oldest football club, the VfL Köln 99.
The Weidenpesch Racecourse hosts several annual conditions races: The Gerling-Preis, originally established as "Preis von Birlinghoven" in 1921, and from 1934 onwards, named and sponsored by Robert Gerling, is the oldest sponsored race prize in the country.
