(www.historicberlin.com) Known as the AVUS, this racetrack was originally designed in 1907 although it wasn’t opened until 1921.
Envisaged as a motor racing circuit as well as a testing circuit for the blossoming German motor industry, it was also a public toll road joining Charlottenburg and Nikolassee through the Grunewald Forest in Berlin’s south-west.
