SCHOLTYSECK JOACHIM DRIVEN OUT - ADOLF ROSENBER...

In the 1920s  Adolf Rosenberger was one of Germany's best known racing car drivers. He was also
co-founder and managing director of a design firm that had recently been launched by Ferdinand
Porsche  and it was his job to ensure financing for the design firm - a firm that provided
important impetus during this time for technical innovation and racing car construction. When
the firm fell into difficulties during the global business crisis  he ended up stepping away
from his management role in the company  but remained active as partner and "foreign
representative". The Jewish Rosenberger was however unable to escape the increasing persecution
by the Nazis: in 1935 he lost his shares in the company and landed for a time in a
concentration camp. After emigrating in 1938 he would go on over the following decades to
develop a precarious new existence in the USA. Compensation and restitution proceedings that he
initiated against the company would end up severing any remaining ties with the now
internationally renowned sports car manufacturer. This book  drawing on documents that have
remained unpublished until now  frames and analyses the exceptional and moving biography of
Adolf Rosenberger.
