Ernst Klodwig was an East German racing driver who competed in Formula 1 for BMW as a privateer, starting two World Championship Grands Prix across 1952 and 1953 in single-seater machinery against graded professionals and semi-professionals.[1]
His career on record spans those two seasons, with two starts yielding a best championship standing of 14th in 1953. He was classified in both races, finishing ahead of established professional Wolfgang Seidel once. BMW fielded 171 drivers across the index and won 97 races with its strongest entries being professional-level machinery; Klodwig's pair of appearances came in privately run entries that represented the smaller end of the team's effort in that period.[2]
