Prof. Dr. Werner Mang’s car collection is remarkable – his preferences: Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce and Bentley. ‘auto motor sport’ He visited him in Lindau.
The now 75-year-old professor is not only one of the most famous plastic surgeons of international reputation and president of the "International Society of Aegean Medicine (IGÄM) He is also a passionate car driver and collector.
Very early on his car passion had awakened – It started right after graduation: with the restoration and overhaul of his first car – an old Volkswagen for 340 marks.
As the financial resources increased with the professional success, his fleet grew accordingly – many famous classic cars are in his collection. But Professor Mang, who still prefers to travel without a chauffeur, has always been interested in racing – he says: – he says: "Running is an art", and Dismantling and rebuilding an engine is more difficult than an operating room., and further: For me, the icon of motorsport, the icon of the sports car, is the 911 Porsche. This is the incarnation of a timeless aesthetic.
But not only cars and surgery – Professor Mang’s social commitment can also be seen. The city of Lindau named the square in front of the Bodenseeklinik after him – in recognition of the fact that he – together with his son Thomas – acquired real estate in Lindau, renovated it, renovated it in accordance with the latest standards energy-efficiently and rented it cheaply, "To give something back to the people here". Another dream? My dream is to found a small car museum in Lindau with my son, where we all exhibit our Porsches.
