===AVUS today===
After the fall of the Berlin wall, the closure of the AVUS for race events became increasingly problematic over traffic and associated environmental concerns. After the last races in 1998, a farewell event with veterans was held in 1999. Since 2000, the new [[EuroSpeedway Lausitz]] in [[Brandenburg]] is considered the replacement venue for competition.{{Citation needed|date=November 2007}} The round race control tower at the north end still remains with its prominent [[Mercedes-Benz]] and [[Robert Bosch GmbH|Bosch]] sponsorship insignia. It was used as a (now closed) public restaurant and motel. The old wooden grandstand is protected as a historic monument.
