Hans Stuck

Hans Stuck, sometimes called Hans Stuck von Villiez, was a German motor racing driver born in 1900 who died in 1978. He had many successes in Grand Prix motor racing for Auto Union in the early 1930s, the era of the Silver Arrows, but is now best remembered for dominating hillclimbing, which earned him the nickname Bergkonig, or King of the Mountains. Racing ran in the family: his son Hans-Joachim Stuck, born in 1951, and his grandsons Johannes and Ferdinand Stuck all became race drivers.
