, sometimes Grenzland-Ring written, is a former high-speed race track
oval in the Lower Rhine area of Germany, around the town of Wegberg,
located close to Mönchengladbach and the Dutch town of Roermond. The
Grenzlandring, to many foreigners also known as Wegbergring or Wegberg
Ring, is told to be "discovered" nearly undamaged after World War II
when during one dark 1947 night, Dr. Carl Marcus during WWII a double
agent for the Nazis as well as the MI6, codenamed Dictionary' by them,
the town mayor from the nearby city of Rheydt, drove along a more or
less straight looking country road. When he passed a bicycle rider more
than once, he suddenly realised that this road must be a full circle. In
fact, a 9,005 metres 5.595 mi long and 6.8 metres 22 ft wide egg-shaped
concrete ring road had been built prior to WWII around Wegberg and the
neighboring village of Beeck and completed in 1938 or 1939, at total
costs of about 3.3 million Reichsmark. As it was intended for military
purposes, the construction had not made been public nor was the road
shown in maps.
