The Prinz-Heinrich-Fahrt (Prince Heinrich Tour, also known as Prince Henry Tour), named after Prince Albert Wilhelm Heinrich of Prussia, was a motorcar contest held from 1908 {{cite web|url= https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/25736704/to-view-prinz-heinrich-fahrt-1908-und-andere-the-revs-institute |title= prinz-heinrich-fahrt-1908 |date=1908-12-01|publisher= Continental-Caoutchuc & Gutta Percha Co.|access-date=2025-04-27}} to 1911 and a precursor to the German Grand Prix. The brother of Emperor Wilhelm II, who had staged a Kaiserpreis for motorcars in 1907 (and for other sports also), was a motoring enthusiast and inventor.

Only production touring cars with four seats and three passengers were admitted, no specially made racing cars.

The trophy for the winner was a model car made of 13.5 kg of silver.

Ferdinand Porsche himself won in 1910.

The last event was in 1911, not as contest, but as a touristic event.
