Fiete from Tornesch: The fastest dachshund in Germany is enthusiastic!

The excitement was in the air when the 1st German championship in the Dachshund race took place in Magdeburg on June 29, 2025. Who would have thought that a Dachshund from Schleswig-Holstein was able to conquer the hearts of the spectators in the storm? The small fieter from Tornesch secured the title of the fastest dachshund in Germany with an impressive time of 5.6 seconds at the final of the standard dackel. But the way to victory was not easy: the final run had to be repeated twice because no clear winner could be found. In the end, however, Fiete prevailed and secured first place.

But not only Fiete caused excitement. In the category of rabbits and dwarf dackels, the Dackeldame Frieda from Ludwigsfelde, Brandenburg. Her "master" Stefan Müller revealed that the secret of her victory could be in a special buffalo meat. A total of 220 Dachshunds started, which made the race a real festival of the Dachshund culture. The participants traveled from far away, not only from Germany, but also from Austria two dachshunds were represented: Dolly from Börde-Hakel and Lilo from Essen.

a great spectacle for Dachshund lovers

The Dachshund races took place as part of the "Teckelwelt" trade fair and were accompanied by a colorful amount of spectators. Each dachshund was supported by a team of two - one person kept the dog at the start, while the other was in the finish area to stand aside the small energy bundles with whistles, squeaking balls and delicious snacks. The 40 -meter racetrack was separated from each other by small fences to give the dogs their own space. There were a total of two racing classes: rabbit/dwarf dachshund and standard dackel.

The preliminaries took place the day before, on June 28th. Eight dogs competed here, with the first three of each class qualified for the semi -finals. The tension was tangible when the best dachshunds moved into the final. In order to give the winner a special pleasure, there was also an honorary prize: two nights for two people and a Dachshund in Regensburg, including entry to the Dachshund Museum with personal leadership. In addition, each participant received a certificate and a little surprise as recognition.

The event caused enthusiasm for Dachshund lovers of all ages. The moderator of the event? A real Dachshund fan that properly fueled the crowd. With such an event, Magdeburg sets a sign of the importance of small dog breeds in society and brings people together who share love for these charming four -legged friends.
