The ADMV was the national umbrella association for automobile sport , motorcycle sport and motor water sport and until 1990 a full member of the FIA , the FIM and the UIM In the ADMV, all motorsport clubs and associations of the GDR, as far as they were approved, were united.

The ADMV logo was only selected after the association was founded from suggestions from members and athletes. The previously existing magazine Illustrierter Motorsport (Sportverlag Berlin) became the association's communication organ.
