NÜRBURGRING - cancellations as featured in the Bochmann catalogues (1952)

There are only two Nürburgring cancellations featured in the Bochmann catalogues, both of which were issued in 1939 for motor racing events.

Nürburgring

The Nürburgring is a 150,000 person capacity motorsports complex located in the town of Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It features a Grand Prix race track built in 1984, and a long Nordschleife 'North loop' track, built in the 1920s, around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains. The north loop is 20.830 km (12.943 mi) long and contains more than 300 metres (1,000 feet) of elevation change from its lowest to highest points.

Supreme National Sports Commission for automobile sports in Germany (O.N.S.)

The ONS was founded in 1926 as the German umbrella organisation for automobile sports by the Automobilclub von Deutschland eV (AvD) and the Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobilclub eV (ADAC), who were also the company's shareholders. The AvD, as a founding member of the Association Internationale des Automobile Clubs Reconnus (AIACR), which was renamed Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) in 1946, renounced its status as FIA-ASN for Germany in favour of the ONS.

In the course of the National Socialists' synchronisation in the Third Reich, the ONS was continued from 1933 under the umbrella of the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK). From 1934, the NSKK corps leader, Adolf Hühnlein, was also appointed president of the ONS.

With the Control Council Act No.2 (Dissolution and Liquidation of Nazi Organizations ) of 10th October 1945, the NSKK and thus also the ONS were banned by the Allied Control Council and their property was confiscated.
