Well, the title is not quite correct, because Marlene Dietrich died in Paris on May 6, 1992. But her Auburn 851 Speedster from 1936 will be proudly present at the Classic Days Schloss Dyck. John Surtees, the seven-time motorcycle world champion and 1964 Formula 1 world champion, will be coming to Jüchen in the Rhine district of Neuss in person!

Lola Lola seduces in the "blue angel"

After her first successes in the silent films and theaters of the "Golden Twenties", Marlene Dietrich made her international breakthrough in 1930 under director Josef von Sternberg in the film "The Blue Angel", in which she played the seductive "Lola Lola". Marlene Dietrich went to the USA with director von Sternberg in 1930. Films alongside Gary Cooper and other American stars followed. Morocco, Blonde Venus, Dishonored, Shanghai Express and The Big Bluff are some of her films. She filmed with Hitchcock and Billy Wilder, with Orson Welles and Ernst Lubitsch.

Marlene Dietrich drove anAuburn 851 Speedster back then, which will now make a visit to the Classic Days Schloss Dyck.

This car with beautiful and masterful bodywork by Gordon Buehrig has been around since 1931. The engine: A 4.5 liter unit with an additional compressor and 150 bhp. These 150 bhp were braked by Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes front and rear when necessary. With a length of 4.93 m, a width of 1.80 m and a weight of 1.8 tons, the Auburn is a powerful and large car - due to its sleek body, however, it is also a very graceful and sporty car with filigree lines in places.

A top speed of 160 km/h was easily possible with the supercharged car. Fast enough to thrill the international film stars of the 1930s in America and Europe. Marie Magdalene Dietrich, born in Berlin Schöneberg in 1901, was also impressed by this chic sports car in white/cream white.

The only motorcycle and Formula 1 world champion

John Surtees is still the only driver in racing history to have won both the motorcycle world championship and the Formula 1 world championship. The seven-time motorcycle world champion and Formula 1 world champion is coming to Jüchen in the Rhine district of Neuss to thrill fans, participants and visitors to the Classic Days 2013. After Sir Stirling Moss last year, the 79-year-old former British racing driver is the second major international star from the great years of historic motorsport to come to Schloss Dyck.
