Martin "Tino" Schippert (1 May 1946–1981) was a Swiss "Halbstarker" (member of a youth subculture similar to Beatniks or Yobbo), Rocker, a so-called "68er" and is considered to be founder of the "Hells Angels" in Switzerland. Martin "Tino" Schippert grew up in an upper-class environment, at the Zürichberg. He suffered from various illnesses. Because of his health, he had to live in the "Kindererholungsheim Celerina", to recover. After finishing school, "Tino" chooses an apprenticeship as a Rhine sailor.

In 1965, Tino survived a grave motorcycle accident, but he passed what is referred to as the "Biker test": He wanted to ride a motorbike again, after all the pain he suffered. "Tino" founded the "Rächer Basel", a Halbstarken group which didn't persist for a long time. He then joined the Zürich "Rächer" ("Revengers"); Tino becomes their leader in 1966. The group was renamed to "Lone-Stars". From 19 November 1966 on, he is imprisoned for 4 months (remand). Then he had to appear in court and was condemned to 18 months of prison. Perhaps suffering a "meaning-of-life-crisis", he releases his "Lone-Star"-leadership. But during a long car journey (one destination is, amongst others, the International Song Days in Essen, Germany), he gets inspired again, thanks to someone reading out "Freewheelin Frank", a type of autobiography and speech of a "Hells Angels"-secretary.

The Lone-Stars want to become real "Hells Angels". The group begins calling itself with the double name "Hells Angels — Lone-Stars" — without permission. But when that comes to the attention of Cisco Valderrama, a leading of Oakland's "Hells Angels", he advises the Swiss, that they have to get a permission and pass prospectship. Christmas 1970, Tino receives the formal acknowledgment, that his club is worthy to call itself "Hells Angels".In 1981, Tino dies in Tutilimundi, Bolivia as "Carlos Martin Schippert". The exact reasons aren't clear. He was a source of inspiration for writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt, who was acquainted with him (Sergius Golowin brought them together).
