All Sachsenring programme booklets since 1927 available digitally free of charge

There is no present and no future without the past. In keeping with this motto, ADAC Saxony has launched a project to mark the 100th anniversary of the Sachsenring next year, aimed primarily at fans with an interest in the circuit’s history. A number of official programmes from previous events held at the iconic race track near Hohenstein-Ernstthal are already available to all such fans in digital format, online and free of charge. The remainder will follow in the coming months.

To mark next year’s milestone anniversary, ADAC Saxony and the Saxon State Library – Dresden State and University Library (SLUB) have launched a collaboration, which has now been presented to the public as a service for fans.

As part of the Free State of Saxony’s State Digitisation Programme for Science and Culture (LDP), a digitisation project unique in Germany has been launched, in which historical Sachsenring documents are being digitised and made available online worldwide. In the first phase, all race programmes produced for races at the Sachsenring from 1927 up to and including 2026 will be digitised.

They will be published on the SACHSEN.DIGITAL online portal in the coming months. The digitisation of the programmes has already begun and is so far advanced that 50 are currently complete and online, meaning they can be viewed free of charge by anyone interested. Once the official programmes and a number of special publications relating to the Sachsenring have been completed, historical postcards and original film footage from the early years of the historic race track are set to follow.

During a press conference held at the SLUB in Dresden, the programme booklets were symbolically and officially handed over by Klaus Klötzner, Chairman of the Board of ADAC Saxony, to Katrin Stump, Director-General of the SLUB Dresden. Among other things, Klaus Klötzner said: “We are delighted that the Sachsenring, as an iconic race track with its long tradition, is now represented in the SLUB’s collections. This project is also unique for us, and we are pleased to be able to make the programme booklets available. Let’s see what else we discover in our archives.”
