Since 2005 it is part of the UCI Europe Tour, being organised as 1.1 race in 2005 and 2006, becoming 1.HC in 2007. It is one of the oldest cycling races still running in Germany, just after Rund um die Hainleite, which was first held in 1907. Between the 30s and late 80s it was held as an amateur race. It is held every year on Easter Monday.

The centenary edition of the race, set for March 24, 2008 was cancelled due to snow.
