International Wedau Regatta

The International Wedau Regatta club is the organizing committee of all rowing regattas in Duisburg.
Initially, it was founded as a cooperation of two rowing clubs in Duisburg (Duisburger Ruderverein) and Düsseldorf (Ruderclub Germania Düsseldorf), but today the International Wedau Regatta club consists only of members of the Duisburg Rowing Club.
More information on other rowing regattas in Duisburg can be found on www.wedau-rowing.com.
Image

The Regatta Course

The regatta course Duisburg-Wedau has a length of 2.180 meters and a width of 120 meters. It is located within the Sportpark Duisburg, a cluster of various training and competition venues (including soccer, ice hockey, hockey, tennis, water polo and canoe).
Originally, the area was used as a gravel pit and then was transformed into a sports and recreation venue which was opened in 1935.
In 2007, the venue was extended by a side canal which is connecting the finish area with the start to prevent the racing lanes from waves caused by boats rowing to the start.
Image

Regatta History

The regatta course in Duisburg is an internationally known sports venue for both rowing and canoe with a big history. Besides having hosted the first german national championships in 1948, the International Wedau Regatta was the host of several international championships and events, including:

  • World Rowing Championships 1983
  • European Rowing Championships 1957 & 1965
  • World Rowing Junior Championships 2001
  • World Rowing Masters Regatta 2012

In addition, the regatta course Duisburg is the regular host of the bi-yearly International Wedau Regatta.

For the International Canoe Federation, Duisburg is the regular host of the ICF Canoe World Cup as well as for the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships (1979, 1987, 1995, 2007, 2013, 2023).

Sightseeing in Duisburg

Our European Rowing Under 23 Championships event logo comprises Tiger and Turtle - Magic Mountain, an 21 meters tall art installation and landmark in Duisburg built in 2011. It is made of galvanized steel and resembles a roller coaster including a walkway with stairs enabling a brilliant sight above Duisburg and Düsseldorf. In 2013, Tiger and Turtle was ranked by Huffpost as #6 of "The Most Extreme Staircases In The World".

Additional information about sightseeing in Duisburg can be found on the website of the International Wedau Regatta.
