MOGO (Motorradgottesdienste)

A motorcycle event set up by the Lutheran Evangelical Church in which Rit.tner played a prominent role.
It is probably the largest motorcycle event in the world and boasts between 30,000 and 40,000 motorcycles every rally. In 2008 he was celebrated as the oldest motorcyclist and he went with zundapp 43

Ger.t had a second passion he sent to his grandson: the boats.

Before talking about his long militancy in Hiag, I show two movies on YouTube.

Here a very annoyed Rit.tner from cell phones and cameras (when you're done we'd like to start remembering) lays flowers on Wittman's tomb. I remind him to deliver him a dispatch by climbing on 007 where he ordered immediate disengagement.

Instead, it devotes a melody (who recognizes it) to the harmonica at the end of the ceremony.

Still last days he and Hiag sent to Wittmann wife a rose as Michael wanted

A significant episode of Rit.tner's post-war life was surely the arrangement of the monument of the 1 panzer korps.

In 1971, near Koblenz, and specifically in the village of Marienfels, a monument was erected to commemorate the fallen of LSSAH and HJ.
The resort was not casual because at 39/40 some soldiers had been stationed in the village and the SS had a special relationship with the premises with which they built the cemetery.

The memorial, alongside the symbols of the LSSAH and the Panzer Korps, wrote at the base of the writing: "" The dead of war warn the world of peace, "above the base was placed a stele with imprinted the iron cross and the script" To our fallen 1.Panzer-Korps comrades. Loyalty to the faithful. "

At first, however, the symbols were removed, but things came to light with the anti-fascist night's actions that did not fail to embellish the monument (as is often the case in germany) with the assassination or removal of the T Treue um Treue (loyalty to the faithful) transforming it into Reue um Treue (remorse for the faithful).

Lastly, there was the ban on the annual commemoration ceremony of the celebrations held each November with the consequent reactions of the parties and the usual squalid teatrino that we witness in Italy during the commemoration of certain fallen.

The bottom was touched on the night of 03/05/2004 when the monument to the fallen was completely destroyed.
For years, the annual protest marches called "Für den Wiederaufbau des Denkmals des I.SS-Panzerkorps!" (For the reconstruction of the monument of the 1st SS-Panzerkorps).

As long as our Ritt.ner, in collaboration with life's daring, finally reconstructed the monument in a private land
