German International Sidecar Racer. Runner up in the 1967, 1968 and 1970 World Sidecar Championships. He started racing a BMW outfit, and always raced a BMW, in the World Championships for the next ten years with great success. A serious crash during practise for the 1972 Sidecar TT on the Isle of Man resulted in serious head injuries which ended his career, and the effects of which he never recovered from. He was cared for for the remainder of his life by his parents at their Bad Worishofen home in Bavaria, Germany, and finally died in an unexplained drowning accident in a small stream.
