SG Lauer & Söhne: Outstanding Achievements in European Marathon Pigeon Racing
8th Place Europe Marathon 2022
1st Place Zonal Barcelona 2023

The town of Althornbach is often regarded as the "Mecca" of German marathon pigeon racing. Renowned breeders such as Kipp & Sons, Raymund Hermes, and Seegmüller have contributed to the fame of this region in European marathon pigeon competitions. In this very town, the SG Lauer & Söhne loft operates, a name respected and feared in this domain.

The History and Expertise of SG Lauer & Söhne

Willi Lauer, the central figure of the team, began his pigeon racing career at the age of 15. Over the decades, his passion and dedication have made him a recognized expert in marathon pigeon racing.

Transition to Marathon Competitions

Initially, SG Lauer & Söhne competed successfully in German races over distances ranging from 100 to 700 km. Later, the team decided to focus exclusively on international marathon stages. A pivotal moment in their evolution was the integration of high-quality pigeons purchased from renowned breeders such as Rutz & Sons, Karl Heinz Koers, Herbots-Heller, Bernd Morsnowski, Freialdenhoven, and Kipp & Sons. This strategy proved essential for their subsequent successes.
