As Sports Director, Rosenberg is helping oversee the planning, coordination and execution required to transform Aachen’s legendary equestrian venue into the stage for a historic global championship.
Creating More Than a Larger CHIO Aachen
Throughout the four-part EQUUS Television interview series, Rosenberg explains why the 2026 Championships must be far more than simply an expanded version of the annual CHIO Aachen.
The goal is to create an extraordinary and unforgettable experience defined by world-class competition, full stadiums, emotional engagement and the unmistakable atmosphere that has made Aachen one of the most respected destinations in global equestrian sport.
Rosenberg wants athletes, visitors and members of the international media to remember the Championships as “two great weeks in Aachen.”
“Birgit Rosenberg is giving EQUUS Television viewers an extraordinary opportunity to understand the vision, leadership and countless details that go into creating a World Championship of this magnitude,” said Diana De Rosa, Worldwide Correspondent for the EQUUS Television Network. “Aachen has a history and atmosphere unlike any other equestrian venue, and through this four-part series, Birgit takes us well beyond the competition arena and into the heart of what it takes to welcome the equestrian world. I am thrilled to be able to share these interviews as Aachen prepares to make history once again.
The series explores the enormous amount of work taking place behind the scenes, including competition scheduling, infrastructure improvements, volunteer coordination, accessibility, equine welfare, course preparation, athlete services, spectator experience and ongoing collaboration with the Fédération Equestre Internationale.
Preparing Aachen for Six World Championship Disciplines
Major infrastructure improvements are underway throughout the Aachen venue, including the construction of an additional stable wing and approximately 430 permanent stalls designed to provide exceptional conditions for horses, riders and grooms.
Approximately 1,000 volunteers are also expected to support the Championships across competition operations, hospitality, media, spectator services and venue management.
The Eventing competition presents one of the event’s most complex sporting challenges. The cross-country course is being significantly extended to accommodate the Championship format, increasing from the approximately 4,000-meter course traditionally used at Aachen to roughly 5,700 meters.
Course design, footing, safety, spectator access and obstacles featuring a distinctive German character are among the many elements discussed by Rosenberg and De Rosa during the interview series.
The conversations also examine the importance of creating an environment that delivers exceptional conditions for the horses and athletes while providing spectators with an engaging, accessible and emotionally memorable experience.
Experience, Leadership and a Lifelong Connection to Horses
Rosenberg’s connection to equestrian sport began during her early years growing up on a farm, where she developed a deep appreciation for horses, competition and the people who make major equestrian events possible.
She has since built an accomplished career in event management and sports direction and has played a central role within the CHIO Aachen organization for many years.
Her extensive experience has positioned her as one of the key leaders guiding Aachen toward the successful delivery of the 2026 World Championships.
The event will arrive 20 years after the celebrated 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, which remains remembered for packed stadiums, outstanding sport and an unforgettable atmosphere.
While drawing inspiration from the legacy of 2006, Rosenberg and the Aachen team are creating a Championship experience designed for today’s athletes, horses, spectators, international media and global broadcast audiences.
The objective is clear: full stadiums, outstanding international competition, exceptional conditions for horses and athletes, and the unmatched energy that has established Aachen as one of the most important destinations in equestrian sport.
