Albert Richter, "Fliegerweltmeister" (trackcycling world champion) in 1932 and repeatedly German champion had been betrayed and therefore killed at Lörrach Gestapo-prison in 1940 while trying to abscond to Switzerland, after refusing tenaciously to deliver the Hitler salute or to wear swastika jerseys during his races. In 1966 the Cologne public prosecution department refused to file a lawsuit clarifying the casualty. Important witness statements were disregarded, the aperture of the coffin remained undone. The quarrel about the naming of the Cologne velodrome in the mid-nineties reveals, that the Nazi dictum, that the name Albert Richter should be erased of all memories continued to be effective well into the times of the Federal Republic of Germany.
