History

Internationales Pfingstturnier Wiesbaden, a horse show at Schlosspark Biebrich in Wiesbaden, dates back to 1929.[1] It is run by the Wiesbadener Reit- und Fahr-Club (WRFC).[2] In the beginning, it was held at different locations. After World War II, Wilhelm Gustav Dyckerhoff [de] suggested to use the Schlosspark Biebrich, and the first Pfingstturnier there was held in 1949. The event has traditionally been sponsored by the Dyckerhoff family. Competitions are held in dressage, show jumping, eventing and vaulting. [1]

In 2019, the event was renamed Longines PfingstTurnier Wiesbaden, to honour a new main sponsor Longines.[3] In 2020 and 2021, the event had to be cancelled due to the restrictions in the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
