The auto touring is the monthly club magazine of the Austrian Automobile, Motorcycle and Touring Club (ÖAMTC) and is sent to all members of the club. This is also the reason for the high print run of around 1.8 million copies.

prehistory

The predecessor of today's ÖAMTC, formerly the Österreichischer Automobil-Club (ÖAC), was published as the monthly Allgemeine Automobil-Zeitung (AAZ) from January 1900 . A few months after the "Anschluss" and the ordered dissolution of the Austrian motor vehicle organizations and associations by Adolf Hühnlein , the July 1938 edition of the newspaper was discontinued. The main topic was the introduction of the road traffic regulations of the " Altreich " in the " Ostmark " and the change from left-hand to right-hand drive.

history

After the resurrection of the Republic of Austria, the Austrian Touring Club (ÖTC) and the Austrian Automobile Club (ÖAC) were able to re-establish themselves and merge to form the Austrian Automobile, Motorcycle and Touring Club (ÖAMTC) on December 17, 1946 . From January 1947, the monthly club magazine published under the first president Manfred Mautner Markhof senior could appear again. Until 1955, the editions were rotogravure and consistently printed in black and white . In April 1955, the title page was converted to color printing. The spelling of the title at that time was AutoTouring in cursive , 12 issues per year were published. In January 1956, the ÖAMTC switched to a bi-weekly publication and the previous (30 × 23 or 30 × 21 cm) to a newspaper format .

Beginning in December 1978, the magazine format and monthly publication were again changed. In some cases, four-color printing was used . Since 1988, “ chlorine-free bleached ” LWC paper has been used throughout and in four colors.

Basic direction

The basic direction of auto touring, quoted on the disclosure page, is identical to § 2 Paragraph 2, Purpose of the Association of Statutes of the ÖAMTC:

  • lit. a) Promotion of mobility with special consideration of social compatibility, conservation of resources, balance of conflicting interests between individual mobility and environmental protection, further development of the mutual understanding of road users for one another;
  • lit. b) Promotion of travel using the available transport resources as efficiently as possible and taking environmentally conscious tourism into account, as well as the orderly flow of travel and the protection of travelers, in particular members of foreign automobile clubs in Germany and members of the ÖAMTC also abroad;
  • lit. c) Promotion of traffic safety in connection with the other goals of the association;
  • lit. d) Promotion of the interests of the members in their capacity as consumers in connection with the other goals of the association;
  • lit. e) Promotion of youth in leisure, sport, recreation and education in connection with the other goals of the association;
  • lit. f) Promotion of rescue services and assistance in emergencies.

Content

Each edition of auto touring focuses on the following:

  • Reports from the areas of mobility, traffic law, technology and innovation.
  • Car and motorcycle tests, as well as vehicle presentations.
  • Test series on tires, child seats, motorcycle and bicycle helmets, snow chains, etc.
  • Results of crash tests (carried out by ADAC with participation of the ÖAMTC).
  • Travel reports and tips.
  • "Greetings from Schilda" picture series with photos of bizarre traffic signs sent in by the readers with comments and their attachment / arrangement in the street space, but apart from them.
  • Since the last modernization of the layout , the club has wanted auto touring to be understood as “The ÖAMTC's mobility magazine”.
  • In addition, the magazine naturally also serves to inform members about the performance and work of "their" club.
