Biography
Helmuth Hopmann could not participate in 1932 due to an injury after a training accident in Lake Placid, when he and his pilot and brakeman, Fritz Grau and Albert Brehme, crashed into a 20-meter deep abyss. The passenger list of the “SS Europe” from Bremen to New York of 15 January 1932 lists his age as 28 years and his residence as Brunswick. In the 1920s Hopmann won two German championships. He was eventually co-owner of the office products company Gustav Störig in Brunswick.
