Deutsche Bank and CHIO Aachen
As a partner of the CHIO Aachen since 1955, Deutsche Bank presents a highlight of the demanding art of dressage, the internationally renowned Deutsche Bank Prize
Deutsche Bank, the main sponsor, has been supporting the world's most prestigious equestrian event since 1955, making it the Bank's longest-standing commitment to the world of sports.
In 1980, the Aachen Grand Prix de Dressage of Aachen, which had been held annually for 25 years and sponsored by Deutsche Bank, was renamed the Deutsche Bank Prize, Grand Prix Dressage of Aachen, Grand Prix Freestyle CDIO. And in 1999, Deutsche Bank Stadium was created as a unique setting for dressage riding.
Since 2014, a new grandstand has provided 6,300 spectators with the opportunity to watch one of the most important dressage competitions, in which the world’s elite riders vie for the highest endowed dressage prize ever.
