Jaap Bakema (1914-81) without doubt was one of the most important and most prominent architects of postwar Netherlands whose work in collaboration with Jo van den Broek was received well beyond Dutch borders. At the same time Bakema not only through his architecture but also as one of the editors of the „Forum“ magazine and as professor at TH Delft influenced both the architectural discourse and a young generation of architects.

Last year Annette Jansen published her biography „Totale ruimte. Jaap Bakema 1914-1981 - In de voetsporen van een bouwkunstenaar“ with Querido Fosfor, a book that takes a closer look at the person behind the architecture. Bakema was born in Groningen and grew up in the first Tuindorp of the Netherlands in humble circumstances. At the age of 16 he entered the Hogere Technische School in Groningen in order to study civil, road and hydraulic engineering. During his time at the HTS Bakema also met his future wife who had very different, bourgeoise family background that had a great impact on the young Bakema. Especially his future father in law greatly influenced his intellectual formation with regard to architecture, music and politics.

After a brief stint in the office of Willem Reitsma and his military service Bakema in 1937 began his Hoger Bouwkundig Onderricht in Amsterdam, studies in architecture he completed cum laude under Mart Stam in 1941. Already in 1939 Bakema was offered a position in the Rotterdam office of Willem van Tijen and Hugh Maaskant, a chance he couldn’t let pass but one that was interrupted by the German occupation: in 1943 the Germans passed a law that obligated all Dutch men between 18 and 45 to do work in Germany. In order to avoid fatigue duty Bakema and his friend Jan Rietveld sought to escape to England but were caught in France and deported to a camp in March 1943. Miraculously and after passing through different camps the two were able to escape in Fall 1944 and returned alive to the Netherlands. For the first time Annette Jansen had access to Bakema's internment diaries which are reproduced in the book.

With the end of WWII Bakema got involved with the reconstruction of Rotterdam and in 1948 joined the office of Johannes Brinkman and Jo van den Broek. At this point the author starts to follow Bakema’s development by means of his most important buildings, e.g. the Nagele village, ’t Hool in Eindhoven or the Terneuzen Town Hall. For each project Jansen also interviewed former collaborators as well as Bakema’s children, a profitable approach as it allows for multiple perspectives on his architecture and the ideas behind it.

Annette Jansen’s book isn’t the usual architect’s biography but a well-written, elucidating exploration of an architect’s personality and ideals and how they show in his built work. A great read!

Who is Liverpool’s new £1.3m signing Sepp van den Berg?

It's not the signing anyone expected Liverpool to follow up their Champions League win with , but Sepp van den Berg became the first player in the door at Anfield this summer on Thursday.

The 17-year-old defender is little known in England and does not exactly have a massive reputation in Europe outside of the game.

But Sportsmail has tasks a look at his recent past to answer any burning questions you have about the center back.

Sepp van den Berg became the first player in the door at Liverpool this summer on Thursday

So, just who is Sepp van den Berg?

Liverpool's new boy is a central defender who came through the academy at PEC Zwolle. He's 6'2 ", ginger, and has stood out on a pitch for years – both because of his bright red hair and his raw talent.

In March 2018 he became the youngest player to feature in the Eredivisie for nearly 60 years during a 2-0 defeat against Gronigen.

Zwolle knew Van den Berg had a growing reputation. Liverpool were eyeing him before he even penned professional terms, as were Borussia Dortmund.

By September last year, he had also broken Clarence Seedorf's record as the youngest player to feature in Premier League games.

Liverpool's new boy is a central defender who came through the academy at PEC Zwolle

Which clubs were interested in snapping him up?

Most of the top teams in Europe. Van den Berg entered the last year of his contract at the end of the season and made it clear that he had no plans to extend his stay at Zwolle.

That meant he could be bought for cheap and with his growing reputation, it was a no-brainer for most sides.

Sampdoria jumped first and made an offer to sign him in January but were not successful with their bid.

Bayern Munich, Ajax and PSV were all also chasing Van den Berg. Liverpool won the battle.

A series of European sides with big reputations were all chasing him last campaign

How does he compare to Liverpool's defenders?

Van den Berg made 15 league appearances for Zwolle last season and in that time, the two tackles per 90 minutes with an 83 per cent completion rate

But that is not necessarily a positive. Virgil van Dijk made the fewest tackles of any Liverpool defender last season, at just one per 90 minutes, and few would criticize him.

He was also successful with an incredible 100 per cent of them.

Van den Berg did more tackles than both Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez, who each performed 1.4 per 90, and neither of them were as successful as him.

And he clearly reads the game well. The Roster 1.2 interceptions per 90 minutes, which is more than any Liverpool defender except for Joel Matip.

The Holland youngster wants to work on his aerial prowess though. He just won 40.6 per cent of his headers, far fewer than any other Liverpool center back.

There are elements of his game that need improving, as can be seen by his raw statistics

How much will he feature for Liverpool?

The plan is for Van den Berg to drop into the Under 23s at Liverpool and develop as a player.

The intention is that he will be able to develop into a first-team player in the future and prove a bargain further down the line.

He's already got a calm presence and is good positionally, meaning it is those raw aspects of his game that need to be worked on. Luckily, that's what can be taught on a training pitch.

The plan is for Van den Berg to drop down into the Under 23s and develop as a player

So why did he leave Zwolle? And what part did Jaap Stam have to play?

Jaap Stam took over as Zwolle manager in December and had a key role to play in Van den Berg wanting to leave.

He dropped him down to the reserves, despite his impressive performances, with the hope that he would command the defense more. Van den Berg was not happy.

"It's actually really simple," he said in April. 'PEC would like to extend but until this weekend I hadn't played for weeks. I see no reason to extend at the moment.

Jaap Stam decided to drop Van den Berg down to the reserves, which led to his Zwolle exit

'Really, I am satisfied at PEC. This is my youth club. If I was always playing, I'd probably say, "I'll sign." Then the chance that I'll play next season would automatically be greater. Now I'm in no hurry.

'With the last coach I played a lot. When a new coach comes in, you know things can change. But the fact I wasn't even in the squad was quite a shock. "

It is that lack of guaranteed playing time that means he wanted to move. That might turn out to be Liverpool's benefit.

  Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Qualifying 2. Lauf, Formel-1-Rennen in Monte Carlo/Monaco

Nick Yelloly sichert sich die Pole-Position in Monaco

Stuttgart. Auf dem anspruchsvollen Stadtkurs in Monte Carlo fuhr Nick Yelloly (Fach Auto Tech) die schnellste Runde im Zeittraining des Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Am Freitag absolvierte der Brite seinen besten Umlauf mit einer Zeit von 1:34.112 Minuten. Damit geht Yelloly beim zweiten Lauf des internationalen Markenpokals am Sonntag von der ersten Startposition ins Rennen. „Besonders in Monaco hat die Pole-Position eine besondere Bedeutung, daher bin ich sehr glücklich. Verglichen zum freien Training bin ich etwas mehr Risiko gegangen. Dafür wurde ich belohnt“, sagte Yelloly. Neben dem 27-Jährigen steht Michael Ammermüller (D/BWT Lechner Racing), der das Qualifying in seinem 485 PS starken Porsche 911 GT3 Cup als Zweitschnellster abschloss. Startplatz drei auf dem legendären Stadtkurs an der Côte d’Azur sicherte sich Zaid Ashkanani (KWT/MRS GT-Racing).

Als die 27 Fahrzeuge zum 30-minütigen Zeittraining auf die Strecke fuhren, war es bei 20 Grad Celsius bewölkt in Monte Carlo. Mit seinem ersten Reifensatz gelang Ammermüller die viertbeste Zeit. Nachdem alle Fahrer mit neuen Reifen in die zweite Hälfte des Qualifyings gingen, fuhr Yelloly sechs Minuten vor Ende die schnellste Runde des Tages. Auch Ammermüller konnte sich in den finalen Minuten des Zeittrainings nochmal verbessern und sicherte sich mit 1:34.363 Minuten Startplatz zwei. „Kurz vor Schluss war ich nochmal auf einer schnellen Runde, die ich durch die rote Flagge leider nicht beenden konnte. Auf der Strecke waren alle eng beieinander, daher bin ich mit Position zwei zufrieden“, sagte Ammermüller. Aufgrund einer roten Flagge wurde das Qualifying eine Minute vor Schluss vorzeitig beendet.

Von Rang drei startet auf dem einzigen Straßenkurs im Kalender des Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup Zaid Ashkanani (KWT/MRS GT-Racing). Der 24-Jährige aus Kuwait-Stadt fuhr zwei Minuten vor Ende des Qualifyings mit 1:34.475 Minuten die drittschnellste Zeit. „Wir hatten eine gute Strategie, wodurch ich wenig Verkehr vor mir hatte. Ich mag diese Strecke und wurde im Vorjahr Vierter. Jeder Rennfahrer träumt davon, in dieser speziellen Atmosphäre zu fahren. Daher freue ich mich auf das Rennen am Sonntag“, sagte Ashkanani.

Porsche-Junior Julien Andlauer (martinet by ALMERAS) fährt zum ersten Mal auf dem Circuit de Monaco. Der französische Nachwuchsrennfahrer sicherte sich mit einer Zeit von 1:35.325 Minuten Startplatz neun. „Das Zeittraining ist ehrlich gesagt nicht so gelaufen, wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe. Dieser Kurs ist unglaublich anspruchsvoll und durch die vielen Fahrzeuge sehr eng. Trotzdem bin ich optimistisch, mich im Rennen am Sonntag verbessern zu können“, sagte der 18-jährige Andlauer.

Von Position 16 geht Porsche-Junior Thomas Preining (BWT Lechner Racing) in das Rennen. Auch für den 19-jährigen Österreicher ist es das Debüt auf dem traditionsreichen Stadtkurs. Preinings schnellste Rundenzeit betrug 1:36.243 Minuten. „Leider hatte ich zu keiner Zeit eine freie Runde, wodurch ich viel Zeit verloren habe. Der Startplatz ist gerade hier in Monaco unglücklich, da das Überholen auf der engsten Strecke des Jahres fast nur möglich ist, wenn der Vordermann einen Fehler macht“, sagte Preining.

Der zweite Lauf des Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup startet am Sonntag um 10.30 Uhr Ortszeit. Für Fans gibt es auf http://www.racecam.de sowohl ein Livetiming als auch eine Übertragung per Webradio. Eurosport strahlt das Rennen in über 60 Ländern aus. Zudem können Zuschauer des Senders Sky den Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup sowohl in Großbritannien als auch in Italien live verfolgen.

Personally i think that Jaap van den Ende is the only true successor of Jan Schoonhoven. Specially his early works have the similar qualities as the ones Schoonhoven made in the sixties and early seventies. The Stedelijk Museum has some excellent examples of these early works in which little cut out pieces of grey plastic foil are placed on a white surface according a well though over pattern. the System and pattern make the composition, but thus creating a fascinating , lively work of art.

A little like the way Struycken worked, but with a simplicity that resembles the great early Sol LeWitt works. I love this early works, Later he changed his style into more colorful compositions, but always along a line of well thought over abstract contructivist forms. Since 1997 his works become far more realistic. Seascapes, parks and landscapes are all painted with perfection . a fascinating artist which you can encounter in several dutch museum collections. There are some nice van den Ende publications available at www.ftn-books.com

Sheff Utd into top six after win at Reading

Sheffield United beat Reading to go sixth in the Championship and increase pressure on Royals manager Jaap Stam.

Leon Clarke crossed for Billy Sharp to open the scoring with a rebound off Vito Mannone before Mark Duffy cut inside and smashed into the top corner.

Omar Richards hammered in a rebound to make it 2-1 before Blades keeper Simon Moore saved Leandro Bacuna’s penalty.

Sharp sidefooted in from a long ball as the Blades moved above Bristol City and into the play-off places.

Re-live Tuesday’s EFL Championship action as it happened[1]

The game hinged on two second-half minutes with United’s substitute goalkeeper Moore pushing away Bacuna’s low spot-kick after Liam Kelly was bundled over.

Having been close to making it 2-2, Reading instead found themselves 3-1 behind a minute later when Sharp latched onto John Fleck’s pass to score via the inside of the post.

The striker’s second goal of the game ensured a fifth Championship game without a win for Stam, whose side are 18th, four points above the relegation zone.

In truth the margin of victory could have been greater, with Clarke, Sharp and Clayton Donaldson all spurning good chances for the Blades, who moved a point above Bristol City.

Moore was on the pitch because of an injury to Jamal Blackman, while Clarke was replaced by Donaldson after both players were injured in separate incidents the same first-half minute.

Fake Hitlers and a Real Art Problem for Merkel

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Adolf Hitler, the failed artist, appears to be taking his revenge on Emil Nolde, the successful artist he envied and hated. Just as Hitler watercolors, even those demonstrated to be fake, fetch high prices at auctions, there’s a political backlash in Germany against Nolde. Chancellor Angela Merkel even took his works off her office walls this year.The contrasting and intertwined stories of Hitler and Nolde — the latter as ardent a Nazi as the former — are among the best illustrations of the complicated relationship between art and evil that permeates the last century of German history. Both men’s artistic careers started with a rejection by a major art academy (Hitler in Vienna, Nolde in Munich), but that led them in startlingly different directions — and to an eventual clash.Two ArtistsHitler the artist is still something of a mystery, though biographers have thoroughly documented the Nazi dictator’s life. It’s known that he came to Vienna in the fall of 1907, at age 18, to take an entrance exam at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, that the rejection devastated him and that, after his money ran out in 1909, he started eking out a living as a painter in Vienna and then Munich, until going off to fight in World War I. That leaves many questions open. How many works did Hitler actually produce? What kind were they? Where did they end up? In a 1997 article, the German art historian Otto Karl Werckmeister wrote of “between two and three thousand drawings, sketches, watercolors and oil paintings extant from the years before the war.” But his source is a self-published book by Billy F. Price, a Texas collector of all things Hitler, that purports to be a catalog of all his known paintings. Price, in turn, was relying on the consultations of August Priesack, who worked on finding and buying up the Fuhrer’s artwork as an employee of the Nazi Party’s main archive in the 1930s — and again for private collectors after World War II. Priesack was an interested party, since he helped Price build his collection, and in any case, his reputation was shredded when he authenticated the “Hitler’s Diaries,” a notorious fake created by the arch-forger Konrad Kujau. What we do know is that a petty criminal and self-taught draftsman, Reinhold Hanisch, put up a then-homeless Hitler to producing art for sale in 1909. Hanisch sold Hitler’s works to random people in beer halls and to frame-shop owners. The partners eventually had a falling-out after Hitler accused Hanisch of pocketing his share of the proceeds. Later, when Hitler was German chancellor, Hanisch started faking Hitler watercolors and selling them to the Fuhrer’s many fans in Vienna; in 1937, he was imprisoned for it and soon died in his cell.According to British historian Ian Kershaw’s two-volume biography of Hitler, the future dictator was a lazy drifter who would work only when he needed cash; a watercolor every two or three days was his normal production rate. That would imply that no more than 800 small paintings could have been produced in the short time Hitler worked as an artist — and many buyers probably wouldn’t attach much value to art they bought for the price of a couple of meals, so the works were unlikely to be treasured and preserved.Bart F.M. Droog, a Dutch investigative journalist who, along with his colleague Jaap van den Born, has been studying the market for Hitler art and objects, estimates the number of extant Hitler paintings at between 75 and 125. Droog told me that the Nazi archive where Priesack worked (known as the NSDAP) managed to locate only about 50 in the 1930s — despite a willingness to buy them for about the equivalent of the average German annual income — and not even all of those had been genuine. According to Droog, Hitler produced drawings and watercolors, never any oil paintings. They were all cityscapes, mostly copies of postcards of Vienna and Munich landmarks, enlarged with the help of a grid. Even Hitler himself probably couldn’t have told a forgery from the real thing.Droog, admittedly, is not a proper art historian. But the problem with Hitler’s art is that it’s so mundane there’s not much for an art expert to go on when identifying his hand. I asked the distinguished British historian Sir Robert Evans, who wrote a three-volume history of the Third Reich and this year published an article about Hitler’s artistic output, whether he agreed with Droog’s assertions about Hitler’s works. “I'd go with his views,” Evans wrote back. “I guess if you wanted to authenticate one you'd now go to Mr. Droog! The catalogs are all unreliable.”Hitler himself knew what his paintings were worth. Kershaw cites the transcript of a 1944 conversation in which Hitler calls them “modest.” In the late 1930s, the Fuhrer even banned their publication, ending his party’s attempts to promote them as paragons of pure Aryan art. There’s evidence that he was intensely jealous of more successful artists, in particular of Nolde — who, despite his rejection by the Munich Academy, had become a famous painter by the time Hitler came to power in Germany. “Nolde, that swine!” Hitler raged during a 1933 visit to the studio of one of his favorite architects, Paul Ludwig Troost.(1) “We have the power and the money today, but they will not get one commission from me. We will see who will hold out longer. And every one of the gallery directors will be instructed not to purchase one piece more. They will be liable to me with their personal fortunes for this, or I will have them imprisoned.” In his memoir, “Inside the Third Reich,” Hitler’s minister of armaments, Albert Speer, recalled how he’d decorated the house of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels with Nolde watercolors, and the propaganda minister was “delighted with the paintings” — until Hitler came to visit and “expressed his severe disapproval.” Goebbels immediately had the paintings taken down.Oskar Kokoschka, the Austrian expressionist who did get into the Vienna Academy in 1907, blamed frustrated artistic ambition for much of what Hitler did after World War I. The British writer Elias Canetti recalled a conversation with Kokoschka in which the painter blamed himself for World War II: Had the academy accepted Hitler in his place, he said, Hitler never would have ended up in politics. It may sound like an exaggeration, but the Fuhrer’s virulent jealously of the obviously more talented Nolde makes me think Kokoschka was probably onto something. The works of Nolde, a bold experimenter with colors and shapes, were included in the Nazis’ 1937 exhibition of “degenerate art,” and more than 1,000 of them, more than any other artist’s, were removed from museums. But he remained one of Germany’s most sought-after and best-paid artists — making 80,000 reichsmarks (almost $400,000 2015 U.S. dollars) a year — until the Nazis banned him from painting in 1941. Hitler couldn’t have dreamed of such an income from his art.Nothing but intense jealousy can explain Hitler’s open hatred of Nolde. The painter was an avid Nazi and a rabid anti-Semite; he praised Hitler as a “brilliant man of action.” The Nazis could have embraced him as a co-creator of the Aryan myth, but Hitler would have none of it.The Nazi-imposed ban on painting kept Nolde from being denounced as a Nazi after World War II; he died a venerated master in 1956. The heroic depiction of Nolde in the 1968 novel “The German Lesson” by Siegfried Lenz contributed to the widespread view of him as a victim of the Hitler regime. Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, a Nolde collector, chose the artist’s paintings for the walls of his office in the 1970s.Hitler’s RevengeMerkel took them down this year, days before a Berlin exhibition highlighted Nolde’s anti-Semitism and his connection to the Nazi Party. Though Merkel's office tried to present the removal as a mere return of valuable artworks to the foundation that had loaned them — one of the paintings was to go to the revealing exhibition — German media immediately caught on to Merkel’s more likely motives for not wanting her Noldes back. After the Berlin exhibition, any public figure displaying Nolde’s art on office walls would face tough questions. There would be no point in arguing that Nolde could make a storm look real with a dozen brushstrokes and that his sunflowers were arguably more luminous than van Gogh’s. A Nazi is a Nazi.It’s hard to say whether Nolde’s views in the 1930s and 1940s, now at the forefront of any and all discussion of his work, have affected the market value of his oeuvre. But the prices his watercolors have commanded at auctions are similar to those fetched by paintings signed with Hitler’s name. Indeed, Hitler art can be more expensive; in 2014, the Weidler auction house sold a cityscape bearing the dictator’s signature for 130,000 euros ($143,600). Auction houses offer a broad variety of “Hitler” works — still lifes, portraits, landscapes, some of them done in oil on canvas. Droog considers most of them forgeries; they’re often “authenticated” by the likes of Priesack or a U.S.-based handwriting expert named Frank Garo, who charges a small fee for his services. In 2017, van den Born himself clumsily forged a Hitler watercolor and sent a photo to Garo, who authenticated it.Many of the “Hitler” works, genuine or fake, go to China these days. “People in China and other Asian countries don’t take it as personally as we do,” Droog said. “For them, a Hitler painting on the wall is something like a Mao poster in the Netherlands.”Those paintings and various objects that purportedly belonged to Hitler — furniture, spoons, vases — account, according to Droog, for 5% to 10% of the much bigger Nazi militaria market, which he estimates at $40 million to $50 million a year. Much of that money is paid for fakes, sometimes quite blatant ones. “There are factories in Poland, China, Pakistan that make this stuff,” Droog told me. “The more swastikas there are on it, the higher the price.”Some of the buyers are, of course, neo-Nazis. But as long as trade in these objects is legal (and it is, with various restrictions, in most big markets — even in Germany, Hitler’s art and objects can be sold if there are no Nazi symbols on them), no one has any right to suspect them of being loyal Hitlerites.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Adolf Hitler, the failed artist, appears to be taking his revenge on Emil Nolde, the successful artist he envied and hated. Just as Hitler watercolors, even those demonstrated to be fake, fetch high prices at auctions, there’s a political backlash in Germany against Nolde. Chancellor Angela Merkel even took his works off her office walls this year.The contrasting and intertwined stories of Hitler and Nolde — the latter as ardent a Nazi as the former — are among the best illustrations of the complicated relationship between art and evil that permeates the last century of German history. Both men’s artistic careers started with a rejection by a major art academy (Hitler in Vienna, Nolde in Munich), but that led them in startlingly different directions — and to an eventual clash.Two ArtistsHitler the artist is still something of a mystery, though biographers have thoroughly documented the Nazi dictator’s life. It’s known that he came to Vienna in the fall of 1907, at age 18, to take an entrance exam at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, that the rejection devastated him and that, after his money ran out in 1909, he started eking out a living as a painter in Vienna and then Munich, until going off to fight in World War I. That leaves many questions open. How many works did Hitler actually produce? What kind were they? Where did they end up? In a 1997 article, the German art historian Otto Karl Werckmeister wrote of “between two and three thousand drawings, sketches, watercolors and oil paintings extant from the years before the war.” But his source is a self-published book by Billy F. Price, a Texas collector of all things Hitler, that purports to be a catalog of all his known paintings. Price, in turn, was relying on the consultations of August Priesack, who worked on finding and buying up the Fuhrer’s artwork as an employee of the Nazi Party’s main archive in the 1930s — and again for private collectors after World War II. Priesack was an interested party, since he helped Price build his collection, and in any case, his reputation was shredded when he authenticated the “Hitler’s Diaries,” a notorious fake created by the arch-forger Konrad Kujau. What we do know is that a petty criminal and self-taught draftsman, Reinhold Hanisch, put up a then-homeless Hitler to producing art for sale in 1909. Hanisch sold Hitler’s works to random people in beer halls and to frame-shop owners. The partners eventually had a falling-out after Hitler accused Hanisch of pocketing his share of the proceeds. Later, when Hitler was German chancellor, Hanisch started faking Hitler watercolors and selling them to the Fuhrer’s many fans in Vienna; in 1937, he was imprisoned for it and soon died in his cell.According to British historian Ian Kershaw’s two-volume biography of Hitler, the future dictator was a lazy drifter who would work only when he needed cash; a watercolor every two or three days was his normal production rate. That would imply that no more than 800 small paintings could have been produced in the short time Hitler worked as an artist — and many buyers probably wouldn’t attach much value to art they bought for the price of a couple of meals, so the works were unlikely to be treasured and preserved.Bart F.M. Droog, a Dutch investigative journalist who, along with his colleague Jaap van den Born, has been studying the market for Hitler art and objects, estimates the number of extant Hitler paintings at between 75 and 125. Droog told me that the Nazi archive where Priesack worked (known as the NSDAP) managed to locate only about 50 in the 1930s — despite a willingness to buy them for about the equivalent of the average German annual income — and not even all of those had been genuine. According to Droog, Hitler produced drawings and watercolors, never any oil paintings. They were all cityscapes, mostly copies of postcards of Vienna and Munich landmarks, enlarged with the help of a grid. Even Hitler himself probably couldn’t have told a forgery from the real thing.Droog, admittedly, is not a proper art historian. But the problem with Hitler’s art is that it’s so mundane there’s not much for an art expert to go on when identifying his hand. I asked the distinguished British historian Sir Robert Evans, who wrote a three-volume history of the Third Reich and this year published an article about Hitler’s artistic output, whether he agreed with Droog’s assertions about Hitler’s works. “I'd go with his views,” Evans wrote back. “I guess if you wanted to authenticate one you'd now go to Mr. Droog! The catalogs are all unreliable.”Hitler himself knew what his paintings were worth. Kershaw cites the transcript of a 1944 conversation in which Hitler calls them “modest.” In the late 1930s, the Fuhrer even banned their publication, ending his party’s attempts to promote them as paragons of pure Aryan art. There’s evidence that he was intensely jealous of more successful artists, in particular of Nolde — who, despite his rejection by the Munich Academy, had become a famous painter by the time Hitler came to power in Germany. “Nolde, that swine!” Hitler raged during a 1933 visit to the studio of one of his favorite architects, Paul Ludwig Troost.(1) “We have the power and the money today, but they will not get one commission from me. We will see who will hold out longer. And every one of the gallery directors will be instructed not to purchase one piece more. They will be liable to me with their personal fortunes for this, or I will have them imprisoned.” In his memoir, “Inside the Third Reich,” Hitler’s minister of armaments, Albert Speer, recalled how he’d decorated the house of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels with Nolde watercolors, and the propaganda minister was “delighted with the paintings” — until Hitler came to visit and “expressed his severe disapproval.” Goebbels immediately had the paintings taken down.Oskar Kokoschka, the Austrian expressionist who did get into the Vienna Academy in 1907, blamed frustrated artistic ambition for much of what Hitler did after World War I. The British writer Elias Canetti recalled a conversation with Kokoschka in which the painter blamed himself for World War II: Had the academy accepted Hitler in his place, he said, Hitler never would have ended up in politics. It may sound like an exaggeration, but the Fuhrer’s virulent jealously of the obviously more talented Nolde makes me think Kokoschka was probably onto something. The works of Nolde, a bold experimenter with colors and shapes, were included in the Nazis’ 1937 exhibition of “degenerate art,” and more than 1,000 of them, more than any other artist’s, were removed from museums. But he remained one of Germany’s most sought-after and best-paid artists — making 80,000 reichsmarks (almost $400,000 2015 U.S. dollars) a year — until the Nazis banned him from painting in 1941. Hitler couldn’t have dreamed of such an income from his art.Nothing but intense jealousy can explain Hitler’s open hatred of Nolde. The painter was an avid Nazi and a rabid anti-Semite; he praised Hitler as a “brilliant man of action.” The Nazis could have embraced him as a co-creator of the Aryan myth, but Hitler would have none of it.The Nazi-imposed ban on painting kept Nolde from being denounced as a Nazi after World War II; he died a venerated master in 1956. The heroic depiction of Nolde in the 1968 novel “The German Lesson” by Siegfried Lenz contributed to the widespread view of him as a victim of the Hitler regime. Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, a Nolde collector, chose the artist’s paintings for the walls of his office in the 1970s.Hitler’s RevengeMerkel took them down this year, days before a Berlin exhibition highlighted Nolde’s anti-Semitism and his connection to the Nazi Party. Though Merkel's office tried to present the removal as a mere return of valuable artworks to the foundation that had loaned them — one of the paintings was to go to the revealing exhibition — German media immediately caught on to Merkel’s more likely motives for not wanting her Noldes back. After the Berlin exhibition, any public figure displaying Nolde’s art on office walls would face tough questions. There would be no point in arguing that Nolde could make a storm look real with a dozen brushstrokes and that his sunflowers were arguably more luminous than van Gogh’s. A Nazi is a Nazi.It’s hard to say whether Nolde’s views in the 1930s and 1940s, now at the forefront of any and all discussion of his work, have affected the market value of his oeuvre. But the prices his watercolors have commanded at auctions are similar to those fetched by paintings signed with Hitler’s name. Indeed, Hitler art can be more expensive; in 2014, the Weidler auction house sold a cityscape bearing the dictator’s signature for 130,000 euros ($143,600). Auction houses offer a broad variety of “Hitler” works — still lifes, portraits, landscapes, some of them done in oil on canvas. Droog considers most of them forgeries; they’re often “authenticated” by the likes of Priesack or a U.S.-based handwriting expert named Frank Garo, who charges a small fee for his services. In 2017, van den Born himself clumsily forged a Hitler watercolor and sent a photo to Garo, who authenticated it.Many of the “Hitler” works, genuine or fake, go to China these days. “People in China and other Asian countries don’t take it as personally as we do,” Droog said. “For them, a Hitler painting on the wall is something like a Mao poster in the Netherlands.”Those paintings and various objects that purportedly belonged to Hitler — furniture, spoons, vases — account, according to Droog, for 5% to 10% of the much bigger Nazi militaria market, which he estimates at $40 million to $50 million a year. Much of that money is paid for fakes, sometimes quite blatant ones. “There are factories in Poland, China, Pakistan that make this stuff,” Droog told me. “The more swastikas there are on it, the higher the price.”Some of the buyers are, of course, neo-Nazis. But as long as trade in these objects is legal (and it is, with various restrictions, in most big markets — even in Germany, Hitler’s art and objects can be sold if there are no Nazi symbols on them), no one has any right to suspect them of being loyal Hitlerites. And besides, Droog and Evans both told me they believe many “Hitler” buyers — apart from some dedicated collectors — have a purely financial interest in the Fuhrer’s work. “Even the fakes sell and so could be a useful investment,” Evans emailed me.Truth on the WallGerman authorities are as embarrassed by the auctions as Merkel was by the Noldes on her wall. Input from Droog and van der Born comes in handy when police and prosecutors want to disrupt a sale, such as a big auction Weidler had planned for this February. Prosecutors in Nuremberg temporarily confiscated 63 works just before the sale for authentication purposes.

Sunderland 1-3 Reading: Barrow spoils Coleman's first game

New Post has been published on https://usnewsaggregator.com/sport/sunderland-1-3-reading-barrow-spoils-colemans-first-game/

Sunderland 1-3 Reading: Barrow spoils Coleman's first game

Chris Coleman’s first home game in charge of Sunderland ended in disaster as Reading’s revival continued with a 3-1 victory at the Stadium of Light.

Jaap Stam’s Royals made it one defeat from their last seven matches as Modou Barrow scored twice in the 68th and 71st minutes to follow up David Edwards’ opener eight minutes after half-time. 

Sunderland did liven up when Lewis Grabban hit his 11th goal of the season with a penalty won by Joel Asoro with 14 minutes remaining, but the damage had already been well and truly done.

The Black Cats, deep in relegation trouble and who had to play the second half with 10 men following Callum McManaman’s sending off for a second caution before the break, have now gone a staggering 21 games without winning on Wearside.

Even in the short space of time Coleman has been in charge, he has encountered his fair share of injury problems and he suffered another in the pre-match warm-up – well before McManaman contributed in his own special way too.

Paddy McNair, due to start in the middle, had to be withdrawn from the starting line-up after injuring himself beforehand, so Darron Gibson had to be introduced as a late replacement.

It was hardly the sort of thing Sunderland, looking for the same set of players to build on the victory at Burton a week earlier, needed to deliver the result that would have lifted them out of the bottom three.

And after a bright start by the hosts, when George Honeyman curled an effort from distance wide of the far post, it was Reading who looked more dangerous on the attack.

Yann Kermorgant, lively in the final third, powered an effort over the bar while his low cross to the near post was somehow turned over by Edwards when it looked easier to score.

The rest of the half was more about the referee, Keith Stroud. 

He could easily have dished out a second caution to Lee Cattermole, less than three minutes after his first, for a trip on Sone Aluko before he did reach for his red card deep into first half stoppage-time.

Lewis Grabban converted from the spot but it wasn’t enough to inspire a comeback

When Adam Matthews delivered a dipping cross from the byline it looked like it might drop over the line on its own, but McManaman’s attempts to make sure saw him use his arm to find the net.

On top of his needless challenge deep in the Reading half on Barrow earlier in the half, McManaman trudged off the pitch and into the dressing room – and Coleman’s goal celebrations were cut short.

After that it was no surprise when Reading took the lead in the 53rd minute. Aiden McGeady cheaply lost possession in the visitors half, and the counter-attack ended with Aluko’s effort deflecting into the path of Edwards to slide in and finish.

Then Barrow struck his two goals inside three minutes to put the game safe. After volleying inside goalkeeper Robbin Ruiter’s near post, he added a second with a cool finish following a flick from Kermorgant.

The introduction of Swedish teenager Asoro improved Sunderland’s performance in the closing stages. He won the penalty, after testing Mannone, for Grabban to convert with a quarter of an hour remaining. It was Reading, though, who marched on.

Stuttgart. Erster Saisonsieg im Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland für Michael Ammermüller (D/BWT Lechner Racing): Beim vierten Lauf im tschechischen Most gewann der Routinier in seinem 485 PS starken Porsche 911 GT3 Cup von der Pole-Position. „Ich habe mich beim Re-Start dazu entschieden, früh Gas zu geben. Das war die richtige Strategie. Danach war ich schneller unterwegs als meine Konkurrenz und konnte Platz eins souverän nach Hause fahren“, sagte Ammermüller. Larry ten Voorde (NL/Overdrive Racing by Huber), der Sieger vom Samstagsrennen, belegte den zweiten Platz. Das Podium komplettierte der Luxemburger Dylan Pereira (Lechner Racing Team).

Unter blauem Himmel und bei Temperaturen von 22 Grad Celsius behauptete Ammermüller nach dem Start den Spitzenplatz. Allerdings gab es noch vor der ersten Kurve eine Kollision mehrerer Autos im hinteren Teil des Feldes. Für die Bergung der Fahrzeuge musste das Rennen unterbrochen werden. Ammermüller zeigte sich auf dem Autodrom Most auch beim Re-Start nervenstark und löste sich auf Anhieb von ten Voorde. Der Deutsche fuhr danach ein souveränes Rennen. Für den 22-jährigen ten Voorde gab es keine Möglichkeit, den Lechner-Piloten von der Führungsposition zu verdrängen. „Michael Ammermüller hat nach der Safety-Car-Phase früh beschleunigt. Da hat er mich etwas überrascht. Mit Blick auf die Meisterschaft war es aber ein erfolgreiches Wochenende für mich“, sagte ten Voorde.

Zum ersten Mal auf dem Podium stand in dieser Saison Pereira. Porsche-Junior Julien Andlauer (F/BWT Lechner Racing) erreichte Rang vier. „Natürlich wollte ich gern aufs Podium. Aber nach der längeren Unterbrechung blieb nicht mehr viel Zeit, um anzugreifen. Ich habe alles versucht, allerdings waren meine Reifen am Ende nicht mehr im optimalen Zustand“, erläuterte Andlauer.

Platz fünf auf dem 4,212 Kilometer langen Kurs im Norden Tschechiens sicherte sich Jaap van Lagen (NL/Förch Racing). Von Position sieben gestartet verbesserte sich Jaxon Evans (NZ/Team Project 1 – JBR) als bester Rookie um eine Position. „Der Re-Start nach der Rotphase fand hinter dem Safety-Car statt. Daher war es schwierig, früh im Rennen Plätze gut zu machen. Meine Zeiten waren im Rennen aber ziemlich gut und für die Meisterschaft ist jeder Punkt wertvoll“, sagte der 22-jährige Porsche-Junior. Siebter wurde Igor Walilko (PL/Overdrive Racing by Huber) vor seinem schwedischen Teamkollegen Henric Skoog.

Den Sieg in der Amateur-Klassifizierung schnappte sich wie am Samstag Carlos Rivas (Black Falcon Team Textar). Hinter dem Luxemburger folgten Georgi Donchev (BG/Huber Racing) und Andreas Sczepansky (D/QA Racing by Kurt Ecke Motorsport). Da durch die rote Flagge beim vierten Lauf weniger als 75 Prozent der geplanten Renndistanz absolviert wurden, erhielten die Fahrer nur die halbe Punktzahl. Ten Voorde führt die Meisterschaft mit 85 Zählern an. Andlauer ist mit 43,5 Zählern Zweiter. Durch seinen Sieg schob sich Ammermüller auf Platz drei und hat 35,5 Punkte auf seinem Konto.

Auch die Läufe fünf und sechs trägt der Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland im Rahmen des ADAC GT Masters aus. Dafür reist der nationale Markenpokal vom 7. bis 9. Juni ins österreichische Spielberg. Die drei Piloten Nicolas Schöll (Wien), Sebastian Daum (Dornbirn) und Luca Rettenbacher (Eugendorf) fahren auf dem Red Bull Ring vor heimischer Kulisse. Aus Österreich kommt ebenfalls das Team Lechner Racing. Die Mannschaft hat ihren Sitz im Salzburger Land in der Gemeinde Faistenau.

Rennergebnis 4. Lauf: 1. Michael Ammermüller (D/BWT Lechner Racing) 2. Larry ten Voorde (NL/Overdrive Racing by Huber) 3. Dylan Pereira (L/Lechner Racing Team) 4. Julien Andlauer (F/BWT Lechner Racing) 5. Jaap van Lagen (NL/Förch Racing) 6. Jaxon Evans (NZ/Team Project 1 – JBR) 7. Igor Walilko (PL/Overdrive Racing by Huber) 8. Henric Skoog (S/Overdrive Racing by Huber) 9. David Kolkmann (D/Black Falcon) 10. Tim Zimmermann (D/Black Falcon)

Punktestände nach 4 von 16 Läufen: Fahrer-Wertung 1. Larry ten Voorde (NL/Overdrive Racing by Huber), 85 Punkte 2. Julien Andlauer (F/BWT Lechner Racing), 43,5 Punkte 3. Michael Ammermüller (D/BWT Lechner Racing), 37,5 Punkte

Stuttgart. Perfekter Saisonauftakt für Larry ten Voorde (Overdrive Racing by Huber) im Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland: Auf dem Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg gewann der Niederländer das Rennen am Sonntag vor Jaap van Lagen (NL/Förch Racing) und Porsche-Junior Jaxon Evans (NZ/Team Project 1 – JBR). Bereits beim ersten Saisonlauf am Samstag setzte sich ten Voorde gegen seinen schwedischen Teamkollegen Henric Skoog und Berkay Besler (TR/Car Collection Motorsport) durch. „Ich habe den ganzen Winter intensiv auf den Auftakt hingearbeitet. Sich so dafür zu belohnen, ist einfach großartig. Das Setup vom Fahrzeug war so gewählt, dass ich mich in der ersten Rennhälfte vom Feld lösen konnte“, sagte ten Voorde.

Bei Sonnenschein und Temperaturen von 12 Grad Celsius gingen 31 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup im Rahmenprogramm der DTM an den Start. Ten Voorde münzte seine Pole-Position in eine Führung um, konnte sich durch eine frühe Safety-Car-Phase aber nicht direkt absetzen. Beim Re-Start zeigte sich der 22-Jährige routiniert und verteidigte Platz eins. Danach baute ten Voorde seinen Vorsprung auf dem 4,574 Kilometer langen Kurs Runde für Runde aus. Somit konnte van Lagen keinen entscheidenden Druck auf seinen Landsmann ausüben. Der Förch-Pilot überquerte die Ziellinie nach 16 Runden 0,6 Sekunden hinter ten Voorde. „Mein Start war super und ausschlaggebend für den zweiten Platz. In den letzten Runden konnte ich den Vorsprung etwas verkürzen, aber über das ganze Wochenende betrachtet war Larry ten Voorde schneller als ich“, sagte van Lagen.

Ein umkämpftes Rennen erlebte Porsche-Junior Evans. Der 22-Jährige begann das Rennen von der zweiten Position, konnte sich nach dem Start aber nicht gegen van Lagen verteidigen. Im weiteren Verlauf entstand ein Kampf um Rang drei zwischen Evans, Skoog und Luca Rettenbacher (A/MSG/HRT Motorsport). Der neuseeländische Youngster sicherte sich den dritten Podiumsplatz, nachdem er die Angriffe seiner Konkurrenten erfolgreich abwehren konnte. „Im ersten Moment war ich etwas enttäuscht, dass ich den zweiten Platz nicht verteidigen konnte. Aber die Leistungsdichte ist ziemlich hoch, daher fühlt sich auch der dritte Platz gut an“, sagte Evans. Platz vier schnappte sich der Pole Igor Walilko (Overdrive Racing by Huber).

Für reichlich Action auf der deutschen Traditionsstrecke sorgte Porsche-Junior Julien Andlauer (BWT Lechner Racing). Der Franzose ging von der elften Position ins Rennen und startete dann eine Aufholjagd. Am Ende fuhr der 19-Jährige bis auf den fünften Rang vor. „Nach dem Start wurde ich in der zweiten Kurve von einem anderen Fahrzeug berührt und habe einige Plätze verloren. Danach war es ein richtig gutes Rennen mit vielen Überholmanövern. Vielleicht wäre mit einem besseren Qualifying sogar das Podium drin gewesen“, sagte Andlauer. Die Positionen dahinter belegten Rettenbacher, Besler und Dylan Pereira (L/Lechner Racing Team).

In der Amateur-Wertung jubelte Stefan Rehkopf (Huber Racing) über einen Doppelsieg. Nach Platz eins am Samstag gewann der Deutsche auch den Sonntagslauf. Den zweiten Rang erreichte Carlos Rivas (L/Black Falcon Team Textar) vor seinem deutschen Teamkollegen Sören Spreng.

Als besondere Gäste waren Alexander Pollich (Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung der Porsche Deutschland GmbH) und Bastian Schramm (Leiter Marketing Porsche Deutschland GmbH) vor Ort. Beide übergaben die Pokale auf dem Podium.

Nach dem Auftaktwochenende führt ten Voorde mit 50 Zählern die Meisterschaft an. Dahinter folgen Skoog (27 Punkte) und Besler (25 Punkte). Bester Rookie ist ebenfalls Besler. Der 20-Jährige hat in dieser Klassifizierung nach zwei Rennen 45 Zähler gesammelt. Führender in der Amateur-Wertung ist nach seinem Doppelsieg Rehkopf (50 Punkte). In der Team-Wertung liegt Overdrive Racing by Huber an der Spitze (83 Zähler).

Für die nächsten beiden Rennen reist der Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland vom 17. bis 19. Mai nach Tschechien. Auf dem Autodrom Most trägt der Markenpokal die Läufe drei und vier im Rahmen des ADAC GT Masters aus.

  Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, 8. Lauf, Formel-1-Rennen in Monza/Italien

Porsche-Junior Preining gewinnt auf dem Hochgeschwindigkeitskurs in Monza

Stuttgart. Der Kampf um die Meisterschaft im Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup bleibt bis zum Ende spannend: Auf dem italienischen Autodromo Nazionale Monza sicherte sich Porsche-Junior Thomas Preining (A/BWT Lechner Racing) seinen vierten Saisonsieg. Als Zweiter sah der aktuelle Tabellenführer Michael Ammermüller (D/BWT Lechner Racing) die Zielflagge. Den dritten Platz belegte Mattia Drudi (I/Dinamic Motorsport). „Mein Start war perfekt: Ich konnte mich gleich neben Ammermüller setzen und bin beim späten Bremsen etwas ins Risiko gegangen. Zwischenzeitig war es dann ein heißer Kampf, daher bin ich umso glücklicher über den Sieg“, sagte Preining. Somit herrscht Spannung vor dem Saisonfinale in Mexiko: Dort werden zwei Rennen ausgetragen und noch 40 Punkte vergeben. Ammermüller (119 Punkte), Nick Yelloly (Fach Auto Tech, 114 Punkte) und Preining (105 Punkte) können sich zum Champion krönen.

Vor den vollen Formel-1-Tribünen der Tifosi gelang Preining direkt beim Start das entscheidende Überholmanöver. Von der zweiten Position aus hatte er gegen Pole-Sitter Ammermüller in der ersten Kurve die Innenbahn. Doch der 20-Jährige ging nach dem Erlöschen der Ampeln auf die äußere Linie und überraschte somit seinen Teamkollegen. Preining zog in seinem 485 PS starken Porsche 911 GT3 Cup vorbei, aber Ammermüller blieb dem Führenden dicht auf den Fersen. In der sechsten und siebten Runde attackierte der Fahrer aus Rotthalmünster Preining am Ende der Start-Ziel-Geraden. Doch in beiden Situationen konnte der Linzer die Spitzenposition verteidigen. In den letzten Umläufen löste sich Preining von seinem Kontrahenten und überquerte nach 14 Runden als Erster die Ziellinie. Ammermüller folgte 1,7 Sekunden dahinter. „Von der Pole-Position zu starten, ist in Monza speziell. Man geht von der Außenbahn ins Rennen und muss direkt die innere Linie decken. Später habe ich mich dann gegen Drudi verteidigen können. Das hat natürlich Zeit gekostet. Der zweite Platz ist mit Blick auf die Meisterschaft gut, trotzdem war ein Sieg für mich drin“, sagte Ammermüller.

Über den dritten Platz bei seinem Heimrennen jubelte Drudi. Der Italiener begann das Rennen von Position drei und setzte Ammermüller zeitweise stark unter Druck. Am Ende schaffte es Drudi zum vierten Mal in dieser Saison aufs Podium. „Vor den italienischen Fans Dritter zu werden, ist ein fantastisches Gefühl. Als ich an Ammermüller dran war, habe ich leider einen kleinen Fehler gemacht. Am Ende wollte ich dann meinen dritten Platz nicht durch ein unüberlegtes Manöver verlieren“, sagte der 20-Jährige. Yelloly konnte sich im Rennen um einen Rang verbessern und belegte den vierten Platz vor Dylan Pereira (Momo Megatron Lechner Racing). Der Luxemburger erreichte im Rennen auf dem Hochgeschwindigkeitskurs einen Top-Speed von 270 Kilometern pro Stunde – Spitzenwert aller 30 gestarteten Fahrer.

Sechster auf dem 5,794 Kilometer langen Traditionskurs vor den Toren Mailands wurde Jaap van Lagen (NL/Fach Auto Tech). Im Königlichen Park der Stadt Monza sicherte sich Florian Latorre (F/martinet by ALMERAS) als bester Rookie den siebten Rang. Die meisten Überholmanöver gelangen seinem Landsmann Julien Andlauer (martinet by ALMERAS): Der Porsche-Junior startete von Position 30 und beendete das Rennen auf dem achten Platz. „Ich wusste, dass es für mich ein Marathon wird. Daher war es wichtig, schonend mit den Reifen umzugehen. Ich denke, dass ich von meiner Startposition aus das Optimum herausgeholt habe“, sagte der 19-jährige Andlauer. Über den Sieg in der ProAm-Wertung freute sich Roar Lindland (Lechner Racing Middle East). Für den Norweger ist es der sechste Sieg in seiner Klasse.

Ein Rennen vor heimischem Publikum erlebten an diesem Wochenende drei Fahrer aus dem Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Neben Drudi aus Misano Adriatico pilotierten der in Preseglie lebende Alberto Cerqui und Gianmarco Quaresmini (Castegnato) die drei Fahrzeuge von Dinamic Motorsport. Während Cerqui den neunten Platz erreichte, wurde Quaresmini auf Position 13 gewertet. Das Team Dinamic Motorsport hat seinen Sitz in der norditalienischen Stadt Reggio Emilia.

Für das Saisonfinale reist der Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup vom 26. bis 28. Oktober nach Mexiko. Somit wird die Meisterschaft nach dem Jahr 2017 zum zweiten Mal in der Geschichte des internationalen Markenpokals auf dem Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez entschieden. In Mexiko-Stadt finden die Saisonläufe neun und zehn statt.

Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, 8. Lauf, Formel-1-Rennen in Monza/Italien Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, 8. Lauf, Formel-1-Rennen in Monza/Italien Porsche-Junior Preining gewinnt auf dem Hochgeschwindigkeitskurs in Monza���

Stuttgart. Für den achten Lauf des Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup sicherte sich Michael Ammermüller (BWT Lechner Racing) am Samstag die perfekte Ausgangsposition. Das Autodromo Nazionale Monza im Norden Italiens umrundete der Deutsche im Zeittraining als Schnellster in einer Zeit von 1:49.551 Minuten. „Durch den Regen am Freitag konnte man nur wenige Erkenntnisse aus dem freien Training mit ins Qualifying nehmen. Ich freue mich über die Pole-Position, denn die erste Kurve in Monza ist besonders eng. Je weiter vorne man ist, desto geringer ist das Risiko einer Kollision“, sagte der Führende in der Meisterschaft Ammermüller. Ebenfalls in der ersten Reihe steht der 485 PS starke Porsche 911 GT3 Cup von Porsche-Junior Thomas Preining (A/BWT Lechner Racing). Aus der dritten Startbox geht vor heimischer Kulisse der Italiener Mattia Drudi (Dinamic Motorsport) ins Rennen am Sonntag.

Nachdem es auf dem Traditionskurs in der Nähe von Mailand am Vormittag noch geregnet hatte, schien zu Beginn des Qualifyings bei Temperaturen von 19 Grad Celsius die Sonne. Preining fuhr nach fünf Minuten die erste Top-Zeit, doch Lokalmatador Drudi unterbot die Zeit des 20-Jährigen gleich zweimal. Für die entscheidenden acht Minuten des halbstündigen Zeittrainings holten sich die 31 Fahrer einen frischen Reifensatz. Die Zuschauer auf den Formel-1-Tribünen sahen eine spannende Session, die erst eine Minute vor Ende entschieden wurde. Drudi gelang erneut eine schnellste Runde, doch der 20-Jährige war nur wenige Sekunden an der Spitze der Zeitentabelle. In seinem letzten Umlauf fuhr Ammermüller aus Rotthalmünster die beste Zeit des Tages. Auch Porsche-Junior Preining war kurz vor Schluss schnell unterwegs. Der Linzer setzte mit seinem Neunelfer eine Zeit von 1:49.687 Minuten und startet damit von Rang zwei. „Ich habe in der Meisterschaft nichts zu verlieren und werde im Rennen nach vorn richtig Druck machen. Der zweite Startplatz ist dafür eine super Ausgangslage“, sagte Preining.

In seinem Heimrennen geht Drudi am Sonntag von der dritten Position ins Rennen. Beim schnellsten Umlauf des 20-Jährigen stoppte die Uhr bei 1:49.752 Minuten. „Zuletzt war meine Performance im Rennen besser als im Qualifying. Das stimmt mich optimistisch. In Monza zu gewinnen, wäre ein Traum für mich“, sagte Drudi. Als Vierter startet auf der 5,793 Kilometer langen Rennstrecke Zaid Ashkanani (MRS GT-Racing) aus Kuwait. Auf Platz fünf steht Nick Yelloly (GB/Fach Auto Tech) vor Florian Latorre (F/martinet by ALMERAS). Als Siebter beginnt der Niederländer Larry ten Voorde (Team Project 1) das Rennen auf dem Hochgeschwindigkeitskurs im Königlichen Park der Stadt Monza. Die achte Startposition sicherte sich Jaap van Lagen (NL/Fach Auto Tech). In der ProAm-Wertung war Roar Lindland (Lechner Racing Middle East) aus Norwegen am schnellsten unterwegs.

Ein Heimspiel im Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup haben an diesem Rennwochenende insgesamt drei Piloten. Die Italiener Drudi (Misano Adriatico), Gianmarco Quaresmini (Castegnato) und Alberto Cerqui (Preseglie) fahren alle für die Mannschaft Dinamic Motorsport.

  Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, 7. Lauf, Formel-1-Rennen in Spa-Francorchamps/Belgien

Start-Ziel-Sieg für Porsche-Junior Thomas Preining

Stuttgart. Der siebte Lauf des Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup auf dem Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps wird Thomas Preining (A/BWT Lechner Racing) noch lange als perfektes Wochenende in Erinnerung bleiben: Bestzeit in allen Trainings, Pole-Position und souveräner Start-Ziel-Sieg. „Ich war in den ersten Runden sehr schnell unterwegs und konnte mich so weit von meinen Verfolgern absetzen, dass diese keinen Windschatten mehr hatten. Mit dem Vorsprung im Rücken konnte ich das Rennen dann kontrollieren“, sagte Preining. Den zweiten Platz erreichte der Niederländer Larry ten Voorde (Team Project 1) vor Zaid Ashkanani (MRS GT-Racing) aus Kuwait.

Vor den vollen Formel-1-Tribünen gingen bei 18 Grad Celsius und Sonnenschein 33 Fahrer aus 15 Nationen an den Start. Preining brachte die 485 PS seines Porsche 911 GT3 Cup nach dem Erlöschen der Ampeln nahezu perfekt auf den Asphalt und behielt auch beim Herausbeschleunigen aus der ersten Kurve die Nase vorne. Im Verlauf des Rennens löste sich der 20-Jährige immer mehr von vom Feld und fuhr nach elf Runden mit 4,1 Sekunden Vorsprung als Erster über die Ziellinie. Für Preining ist es der dritte Sieg in dieser Saison im Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Über sein bestes Saisonergebnis jubelte ten Voorde. Der 21-Jährige ging von der dritten Position ins Rennen und setzte sich direkt hinter den von Rang zwei gestarteten Porsche-Junior Julien Andlauer (F/martinet by ALMERAS). Nach dem ersten Umlauf zog der Project-1-Pilot auf der Start-Ziel-Geraden am 19-Jährigen vorbei. Seinen zweiten Platz gab ten Voorde bis zum Schluss nicht mehr ab. „Ich habe sofort Druck auf Julien Andlauer gemacht, genau das hatte ich mir vorgenommen. Auf einer Traditionsstrecke wie Spa aufs Podium zu fahren, freut mich ganz besonders“, sagte der Fahrer aus dem niederländischen Boekelo.

Zaid Ashkanani beendete das Rennen auf dem Kurs in den Ardennen 3,4 Sekunden hinter ten Voorde als Dritter. „Ich liebe diese Strecke, das macht den dritten Platz für mich sehr besonders. Wichtig war, dass ich mich in der neunten Runde gegen Julien Andlauer behaupten konnte“, sagte Ashkanani. Damit stand der 24-Jährige am Sonntag zum ersten Mal in dieser Saison auf dem Podium. Schnell unterwegs war Mattia Drudi (Dinamic Motorsport): Der Italiener startete als Achter und arbeitete sich durch mehrere Überholmanöver zunächst bis zum fünften Platz vor. In der letzten Runde gelang dem 20-Jährigen sogar noch der Sprung auf Rang vier, nachdem er seinen Neunelfer vor Andlauer setzte.

Somit musste sich der Porsche-Junior mit Platz fünf begnügen. „Mein Start war ziemlich gut, aber im Duell mit Larry ten Voorde bin ich leider etwas aufs Gras gerutscht. Danach habe ich mich wieder nach vorn gekämpft, aber durch die Aufholjagd waren meine Reifen nicht mehr optimal und Mattia Drudi war am Ende dann zu schnell“, sagte Andlauer. Sechster wurde Nick Yelloly (Fach Auto Tech) aus Großbritannien. Michael Ammermüller (BWT Lechner Racing) sah die Zielflagge als Siebter. Damit bleibt der Deutsche Führender in der Meisterschaft. Sein Vorsprung auf Yelloly beträgt allerdings nur noch zwei Punkte. Die achte Position belegte Jaap van Lagen (NL/Fach Auto Tech) vor Florian Latorre (F/martinet by ALMERAS). In der ProAm-Wertung sicherte sich Nicolas Misslin (Pierre martinet by ALMERAS) die Spitzenposition. Für den Franzosen ist es der erste Sieg in seiner Klasse.

Sein erstes Rennen im Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup fuhr der Schwede Felix Rosenqvist (Porsche AG). Der zweifache Sieger des traditionsreichen Macau Grand Prix saß an diesem Wochenende im Cockpit des VIP-Fahrzeugs der Porsche AG. Nachdem Rosenqvist im Qualifying den zehnten Startplatz erreichte, verteidigte der Formel-E-Fahrer seinen Platz auf der 7,004 Kilometer langen Strecke bis zum Rennende erfolgreich. „Ich bin glücklich mit dem Ergebnis. Natürlich wäre ich gern noch etwas weiter nach vorn gekommen, aber dafür hätte ich mehr Risiko eingehen müssen. Allerdings wollte ich nicht, dass jemand wegen eines zu riskanten Manövers wichtige Punkte in der Meisterschaft verliert. Insgesamt war es ein actionreiches Wochenende“, sagte Rosenqvist.

Nach sieben Läufen führt Ammermüller weiterhin in der Meisterschaft. Der 32-Jährige belegt mit 100 Punkten die Spitzenposition. Yelloly hat als Zweiter 98 Zähler sammeln können. Dritter ist Preining mit 85 Punkten.

Vom 31. August bis zum 1. September trägt der Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup seinen achten Lauf auf dem Autodromo Nazionale Monza in Italien aus. Für Mattia Drudi (Misano Adriatico), Gianmarco Quaresmini (Castegnato) und Alberto Cerqui (Preseglie) wird es ein Rennen vor heimischer Kulisse. Das Trio fährt für das Team Dinamic Motorsport, das seinen Sitz im norditalienischen Reggio Emilia hat.
