The 1952 German Grand Prix was a Formula Two race held on August 3, 1952 at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. It was the sixth round of the 1952 World Drivers' Championship, which was run to Formula Two rules in 1952 and 1953, rather than the Formula One regulations normally used.

Race report
Sadly this turned out to be rather a processional event, with Ascari leading Farina all the way in the first 16 laps. Two laps from home,he had to dive into the pits for oil,emerging 10 seconds behind Farina-which he rattled off on the next lap,catching Farina just a mile from home to win by several seconds after an otherwise dull race. Fischer and Taruffi completed a Ferrari 1-2-3-4 from Behra's Gordini and Laurent's Ferrari.
