The Rund um Berlin was a classic cycling race based around the German city of Berlin. Beginning in 1896,[1] it was the oldest cycling race in Germany until it ended in 2008.[2]
Although it was one of the oldest races in the world, its importance was restricted to Germany. It was usually only contested by Germans, and only four times was the winner not German.
