Klimke purchased Ahlerich by auction in 1975, in Warendorf, for the record price of 42.000 DM (ca. US$26,600).

He is the subject of a book written by Klimke, Ahlerich von der Remonte zum Dressur-Weltmeister; ein exemplarischer Ausbildungsweg (1984),[2] published in translation by Courtney Searls-Ridge as Ahlerich: The Making of a Dressage World Champion in 1986.[3]
