==Background==
Königsstuhl was a black/darkbay thoroughbred. The stallion was born at the stud Zoppenbroich in West Germany. He was a son of Dschingis Khan (1961 - 1986) (Tamerlane <ref>{{cite web|title=Blandford|url=http://www.tbheritage.com/Portraits/Blandford.html|work=TB Heritage|accessdate=23 June 2013}}</ref>-Donna Diana) and his dam was Königskrönung (1958-† ) (Tiepoletto-Krönung).

His dam Königskrönung was in her racing career a great distance horse, but also a big horse. Her first foals were much too big for a racing career. The stud manager and owner from stud Zoippenbroich, Kurt Bresges, made some stud experiments before he took a small stallion for his big mare.

On 17 May 1976 a black/darkbay colt was born. Königsstuhl was not a beauty in his young years. He had problems with his legs and had also a big head. The farrier gave him position help for hoof correction. In October 1977 stud manager and owner from Gestüt Zoppenbroich Kurt Bresges died. His wife had to take over the stud management. She gave all yearling and also Königsstuhl to horse trainer Sven von Mitzlaff. Bresges sold the most of the yearlings. Mitzlaff advised her to keep Königsstuhl. So the horse remained in possession. In August 1995 he died due of colic.

Königsstuhl (17 May 1976 – 1995) was a German thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In 1979 he won the German Triple Crown and is the first horse that won all the races necessary for this crown. Since 1979 no other horse has won the crown.[1] In addition to racing success, he was named German horse of 1979 and was German champion sire in 1988 and 1994.

Background

[edit]

Königsstuhl was a black/darkbay thoroughbred. The stallion was born at the stud Zoppenbroich in West Germany. He was a son of Dschingis Khan (1961–1986) (Tamerlane [2]-Donna Diana) and his dam was Königskrönung (1958–† ) (Tiepoletto-Krönung).

His dam Königskrönung was a great distance horse during her racing career, but also a big horse. Her first foals were much too big for a racing career. Kurt Bresges, the stud manager and owner of stud Zoippenbroich, made some stud experiments before he took a small stallion for his big mare.

On 17 May 1976 a black/darkbay colt was born. Königsstuhl was not a beauty in his young years. He had problems with his legs and had also a big head. The farrier gave him position help for hoof correction. In October 1977, Bresges died. His wife had to take over the stud management. She gave all yearlings and also Königsstuhl to horse trainer Sven von Mitzlaff. Bresges sold most of the yearlings, but Mitzlaff advised her to keep Königsstuhl. So the horse remained in possession. In August 1995 he died of colic.

Racing career

[edit]

His racing career was from 1978 to 1981. Königsstuhl started 20 times and won eleven races. He raced in Germany and Italy.

In June 1978 Königsstuhl started his racing career. He ran in a German trail run (Versuchsrennen der Hengste, Köln) about 1.000 m and came in second after My Rocket (Rocket – Macoletta). Next he won his maiden race: Limbo-Rennen Gelsenkirchen – 1200 m.

In spring 1979 he qualified for the German Derby (Ger-Gr. I 2400m) and won the German 2000-Guineas (Ger-Gr. 2). In the summer of 1979 he won the German Derby (Ger-Gr. 1 2400m). After this he won some important races and in autumn 1979 he won the German St. Leger (Ger-Gr. II 2800m) to complete the German Triple Crown.
