Description

Nature and technology - motorsport in the Eifel

This illustrated book by the team of authors Michael Behrndt, Jörg-Thomas Födisch, Nils Ruwisch and Rainer Rossbach traces the history of the North and South Loops and the region around the legendary Eifel circuit in fascinating photos from its opening in 1927 right up to the modern day.

Apart from a few motifs, the photographic material used was provided by the Klein postcard publishing house in Adenau, which was founded in 1865. As the Klein family business has been involved with the Nürburgring for five generations since the early years, an archive has been created that traces the history of the world-famous race track almost seamlessly.

Over the past 95 years, countless visitors to the Nürburgring have sent greetings to friends and relatives during their stay in the Eifel. They bought the corresponding postcards from the numerous hawkers directly at the Nürburgring, at one of the many kiosks in Adenau or at the start and finish. Today, these postcards have become sought-after collector's items for which many times their original price is often paid. These little treasures are usually labelled ‘Aufnahme und Verlag J. Klein, Adenau’ on the back.

Johann Alexander and Friedrich Klein lived through the pre-war period and captured it in pictures. Friedrich, and since the end of the 1950s also Paul Klein, documented the period up to 1 August 1976, when the last Formula 1 World Championship Grand Prix was held on the Nordschleife.

In addition to the racing action, the postcards and photos from Klein also show the beauty of the Eifel. The marvellous nature around the Eifel circuit is captured in a multitude of fascinating images, throughout all seasons.

The combination of nature and technology, which impresses many visitors to the Nürburgring, is captured again and again in the motifs of the Klein family. The representative cross-section of their family archive is impressively conveyed in this book. In addition to the events on the race track and the charm of the Eifel landscape away from it, all the Klein motifs illustrate one thing above all: the respective owners of the Klein publishing house were and are passionate photographers and artists with a camera.
