Speech On Welcoming Guests In Annual Day

Our compatriot Hans Baltisberger





















It is finely written neatly in an album of family Digel. Erwin Digel and his wife Margaret were probably see live performances in a motorcycle race at the Solitude, 1953, to her compatriot Hans Baltisberger and cheer. Motorcycle Racing enjoyed extreme popularity in the 1950s - audience of 450,000 and more were at The Solitude often - and the driver had a reputation, which is comparable to today's Formula 1 drivers. Clear that the Betzinger proud of "their" Hans Baltisberger, who was one of the world's best riders were.

can to the image from the archives of Klaus Digel I add a real "treats": A - unfortunately a bit battered - Photo of the same race with Baltisberger autograph. Baltisberger drove in the early 50s, an English AJS, changed from 1954 to NSU where he became a member of the famous NSU factory teams. By Werner Haas, HP Müller, and Hans Rupert Hollaus Baltisberger the NSU team was busy working with the same three high-profile champions. About 'Magnificent Four "as they were called, but was not a good star. Rupert Hollaus, so far the only motorcycle world champion, has brought out the Austria, crashed during practice at Monza in 1954 fatal. In August 1956 Baltisberger hand plunged in Brno Grand Prix of Czechoslovakia deadly and Werner Haas came in the same year as a pilot in a plane crash. Only HP Müller, on the Great Salt Lake in the U.S. draws up a couple of speed records, many years later died of natural causes. All four are memorable in motor racing circles to this day.
