Kiel Olympic sailing venue bid

Overview

Kiel is building momentum in the competition to be designated as the sailing venue for a potential German Olympic bid. Initially, the city received endorsements from the major sailing associations of Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia, who argued that Kiel’s superior infrastructure and high-performance sports structures made it a better choice than Rostock-Warnemünde.

Support for Kiel expanded as six regional sailing associations—representing Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Bremen, Bavaria, and North Rhine-Westphalia—formally announced their backing. Schleswig-Holstein Sports Minister Magdalena Finke noted that these associations represent approximately 75 percent of German sailors. Proponents continue to emphasize Kiel’s history of hosting international regattas and its Olympic-tested facilities.
