These scenes were recorded immediately after the ceremonies. A German Admiral exits from a stadium building in Deutsches Stadion (Deutsches Stadion, Olympischer Platz 3, 14053 Berlin). Soon after, Kaiser Wilhelm II, exits, conversing with German Chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg. The Kaiser is attired in Hussar full dress uniform with fur busby. A German officer salutes and directs the Kaiser to athletes (German Olympic hopefuls) standing to the side, whom he introduces to the Kaiser. The Chancellor turns back into the building, and Empress Augusta Viktoria emerges and stands nearby, as the Kaiser speaks with the athletes and shakes hands with several of them. He chats amicably with the introducing officer, who smiles and salutes. The Kaiser then climbs into a waiting carriage in which the Empress is already seated. She holds a booklet or program in her hand. Attendants place a carriage robe over the Royal Couple and the carriage departs. Spectators watching the Royals are seen behind a railing at the Grunewald Racecourse track (part of the complex). The broad expanse of athletic grounds is behind them.

But it also continued to serve general sports activities. The stadium was built on the racecourse grounds.)
