It was held on 6 March 1955 on and around the Kieselhume Hill in the St. Johann district of Saarbrücken in the Protectorate of Saarland.[2]
A course of almost four kilometers had to be lapped six times, bringing the total distance of this edition to 23.700 kilometers. Around 30,000 spectators watched 36 riders from nine countries in action, 33 of whom finished. For the first time, three riders from three different countries stood on the podium.[3] Frenchman André Dufraisse defended his title with his fifth consecutive podium finish. Swiss rider Hans Bieri took second place, one position higher than last year. Amerigo Severini of Italy finished third.[4]
