For more than 30 years I am connected with the restoration of classic BMW motorcycles. After restoring R25, R51/3 and R50/5 I logically came to the restoration of R75 Wehrmachtsgespanne and started to collect spares and information. In those days the R75-owners were a very small group of collectors who were not interested in passing any information or technical knowledge. Original spare parts were not sold but traded and replica parts were scares.

In all those years I collected complete sidecar units, spare parts and information. Nowadays, I owe personally all versions of the R75, beginning from the chassis number 750 083, built in Munich in June 1941, to the 770 036 of the November 1945, built in Eisenach after WW2. I have an extensive data collection of chassis numbers and origin of the teams as well and a detailed library on this subject. By combining information from different sources (archives of Freiburg , Berlin , Dresden , data of installation of WH-units and pictorial sources) it is often possible to trace down a picture with a special vehicle to a certain unit and often to a special frame number of BMW.

All technical problems of the Wehrmachtgespanne were solved during the years. Today, I am able to bring "difficult cases" to the operational condition again.

Beginning of 1997, I bought Konrad Link´s spare part shop when he retired.
