ABOUT THE VENUE

The Beetzsee regatta course is located on the natural lake Beetzsee. It is one of the most modern rowing venues in Germany and has a long-standing history, which began more than five decades ago. A big gathering of the German rowing community started the series of national and international championships in different water sports. After the German reunification, both the city and the federal state of Brandenburg continuously invested millions of Euros into the modernization of the natural regatta course. Today, the tradition-rich venue offers modern sports technology, ample of space for competitors and organizers, adequate infrastructure and a team of hospitable and professional employees. Highlights in rowing have been the World Rowing Junior Championships in 2005, the World Rowing Under 23 Championships in 2008 and the European Championships in 2016. Lately, the 2024 World Rowing Masters Regatta was the culmination of international rowing events that were hosted with more than 3500 participants at the historic venue.
