It is located six kilometres northwest of the Olympic Park and was the venue for the medal decisions in rowing and canoeing in 1972. Even today, the Olympic Regatta Course is not only a training facility for many water sports clubs, but also the venue for major international events such as the 2022 European Championships.
2230 metres long, 140 metres wide and 3.50 metres deep. What sounds like a maths problem to calculate a volume is the overall dimension of the Olympic regatta course in Oberschleißheim. At the 1972 Summer Games, the rowing and canoeing teams competed for Olympic medals, and the gold medal of the legendary "Bullenvierer" with the victory of the West German quartet in the coxed four ahead of the GDR is unforgotten. German championships were held here 20 times, top international rowers met for the World Championships in 1981 and 2007, and for the European Championships in 2022. Around the performance centre, the facility also established itself as a popular training and leisure meeting place for other sports, for cyclists, triathletes and long-distance runners, as well as for beach volleyball players and inline skaters.
