This foundation has been established to keep alive the technical heritage of Friedel Münch and Helmut Fath . These two most acclaimed designers of the German sports motorcycle history had one thing in common; their motorcycles had to be amongst the fastest in the world. They did everything in their power in order to achieve their goal. Münch’s efforts eventually led to the creation of the world’s first superbike, the Münch Mammoth. His handmade motorcycles, to this day, still make a huge impression. Fath dedicated almost his whole life to the creation of engines for competitive motorcycling. He built several renowned engines, and in 1968, using his most acclaimed URS engine, Fath won the 500 cc Sidecar World Championship. There were others involved in their remarkable careers; the German Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Kuhn; the Americans Joseph Floyd Clymer and George McCulloch Bell, their stories also need to be told.

In 2013, the foundation published the book Mit Herz und Seele, presenting the complete history of Friedel Münch and Helmut Fath. In 2021, a revised and expanded version was released in the English language under the title “The Pursuit of Perfection, The Stories of Friedel Münch & Helmut Fath”. Available from spring 2026, “Münch Superbikes” will be published, a book covering all motorcycles built by Friedel Münch and produced under his brand name Münch.
