The Schwarzgold-Rennen is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run at Cologne-Weidenpesch Racecourse over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile), and it is scheduled to take place each year in May.
The event was formerly contested in November, and it used to be called the Kölner Herbst-Stuten-Meile. This version was open to fillies aged three or older, and it was given Group 3 status in 2005. The present conditions and the current title were introduced in 2008, when the race was switched to May.
The Schwarzgold-Rennen pays tribute to Schwarzgold, the winner of the German 1,000 Guineas, the Preis der Diana and the Deutsches Derby in 1940. The title has been used previously for several other events, including the German 1,000 Guineas (1941–88), the Hamburger Stutenpreis (1995–98) and the Diana-Trial (2004–07). It has also been used for Listed races at Hoppegarten and Cologne.
