Motorcycle races in Germany post-1980

Below is a list of post-1980 motorcycle road races at selected German circuits. The races are listed per circuit, with the date given as day/month/year. If a meeting was cancelled, or originally scheduled for a different date, then this is often indicated as well. Note that while most dates refer to a Sunday, in some cases there may also have been racing on Saturday. Corrections, additions, questions or comments are of course very much welcomed.

Some notes on the post-war years: Germany was divided into four occupation zones following World War II. The three western zones merged to form the Bundesrepublik Deutschland on 23 May 1949. The soviets responded by establishing the Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR on 7 October of the same year. Races that took place in the eastern zone or DDR are listed separately for each year. The DDR dissolved when east- and west-Germany were officially reunited on 3 October 1990.
