More Artur Fenzlau...Austrian motorcycle and motor racing photographer....this time in 1955....

Following my previous post I'm staying with Artur Fenzlau and his camera...great, sharp, interesting photographs taken on the 26th and 27th March 1955 during practice and racing on a hill climb circuit organized by the Motor Sports Club "Around Vienna" which started in Klosterneuberg and finished in Josefinenhutte...
I've been onto Google Earth and fiddled around and think I could have the actual course...well as it is today...



Again acknowledgement is made to the Technical Museum of Austria in Vienna and the estate of the late Artur Fenzlau for this non commercial posting of these photographs...
Most of the riders are un-named, however the NSU works rider, H.P. Muller riding an NSU Sportsmax #1
and Erwin Lechner (50) on a 125cc KTM; Gerold Klinger (5) on an RS 500cc BMW;Rudolf Grimas (19) on a 125cc Mondial are the only other riders identified.
