“…31 Indeed, even in 1549, Hans Deutsch's view of the city prominently associated the suburban meadow with galloping horses in his cityscape. 32 In Munich, too, the horses raced on a straight track in front of the walls on the so called Rennweg ('racetrack') in front of the western Neuhauser gate. This track is basically identical with today's Schleißheimer Straße and is also illustrated with a small race scene on the oldest preserved city map of Munich by Tobias Volckmer from 1613.…”

For the first time since antiquity, the Italian and German urban horse races for the prize of a precious piece of cloth called palio or scharlach could be studied as a fully-developed competitive 'sport culture' in all its dimensions, from planning and organization to the competitive performance itself through to the discursive perception and symbolic communication of victories and defeats. On both sides of the Alps, this communal tradition of horse racing experienced its heyday in the later fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Notwithstanding this contemporaneity and a bunch of organizational similarities, the Northern and Southern racing phenonema did not form a specific field of transalpine entanglement, but rather unconnected parallel worlds. In this essay, I will present some key comparative aspects of the transalpine field of urban horse racing: organizational structures, spatial arrangements, social range of the participants, the central role of equine agency for the success or failure of racing performances, and different media representations of victories.
