Heinz Luthringshauser

In 1970, Heinz Luthringshauser (21.01.1931 - 05.09.1997) won the German championship in the sidecar category (500ccm). In 1972, he was vice world champion and in 1974 he won the Tourist Trophy (TT), the world's toughest road race, on the Isle of Man.

The motorcycle museum he founded in 1980 and ran personally until his death, is a testimony for his lifelong passion for the motor sport in which he gained great honor through his extraordinary achievements and his many victories that were always won through fair play.
He deserves our thanks and acknowledgment both for being a role model in sports and for his commitment to the preservation of historic motorcycles .

Today, Heinz Luthringshauser's idea and his work of a lifetime are being carried on in his spirit by the Motorradmuseum Heinz Luthringshauser e.V. (Motorcycle Museum Heinz Luthringshauser), a society dedicated to make his heritage open to the public.

Amongst one of the most recent activities of the society count the finishings of the church housing the motorcycle museum, while preserving the original style of the building.
