The German Grand Prix (German: Großer Preis von Deutschland) is a biennial automobile race that has been held most years since 1926, with 75 races having been held. The race has had a remarkably stable history for one of the older Grands Prix, having been held at just three different venues throughout its life; the Nürburgring in Rhineland-Palatinate, Hockenheimring in Baden-Württemberg and on odd occasion AVUS near Berlin. The race continued to be known as the German Grand Prix, even through the era when the race was held in West Germany.
Because West Germany was prevented from taking part in international events in the immediate post-war period, the German Grand Prix only became part of the Formula One World Championship in 1951. It was designated the European Grand Prix four times between 1954 and 1974, when this title was an honorary designation given each year to one grand prix race in Europe. It has been organized by AvD (Automobile Club of Germany) since 1926. The well-known ADAC hosts many other races, including a second German F1 race at the Nürburgring from 1995 until 2006 under the title of the European Grand Prix (except for 1997 and 1998 where it was run as the Luxembourg Grand Prix). From 2007 to 2014, there has been only one Grand Prix in Germany, held alternately at the Hockenheimring and the Nürburgring; in 2007, there was no German Grand Prix, instead it was named the 2007 European Grand Prix and held at the Nürburgring, but in subsequent years, the event has been called the German Grand Prix (with the European Grand Prix being held at the Valencia Street Circuit).
