Paul Pietsch (1911 to 2012) was a German racing driver, journalist and publisher. Born in Freiburg, he began racing in 1932 with a private Bugatti and Alfa Romeo, raced for Auto Union from the 1935 German Grand Prix and finished third in the 1935 Italian Grand Prix. He led the 1939 German Grand Prix from lap two in a private Maserati before ignition failure dropped him to third. After the war he became the first German to take part in a Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, in 1950, though he scored no points. He founded the magazine Das Auto and built Motor Presse Stuttgart into Europe's largest technical magazine publisher, and he lived to 100.
