The WWII was over and the people of Dessau searched for a track of racing.

They found a place on the Autobahn between Berlin and Leipzig.

The first race was in the year of 1949 with 160000 spectators on the track.

One of the best driver's in the 50's was Paul Greifzu. He won AVUS, Halle-Saale-Schleife, Stadtparkrennen Leipzig, Schotten-Rennen, Autobahn-Spinne Dresden and Osthafenkurs. He also had great positions at Eifelrennen, Sachsenring and Schauinsland.

The next race was on May 10th 1952 on the Dessauer Rennstrecke, but he had a bad accident in the practice session of the F2-race.

A crank-shaft had broken, the engine stopped immediately and the car gone head over.

Paul Greifzu was dead, a sad day for the German motorsports.

Today the Dessauer Rennstrecke is an important Autobahn between Berlin and Leipzig/Dresden.
