Nie davon gehört, auch nicht vom Roland, ich meine ich hab schon von ihm gehört, wusste nichts von der Statuen. Von King David schon.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Daniela Brocca ^club

Kann mich noch daran erinnern, das es (zu DDR Zeiten) den Guths Muths Gedenklauf gab

5 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to uwschu ^club

Schönen Dank, Uwe! Mit war GuthsMuts vorher überhaupt kein Begriff, bei uns im Westen gab's nur Turnvater Jahn;-)

5 years ago.

uwschu ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Ludwig Jahn ist ein Ossi durch und durch :-)!
In Freyburg (Unstrut, westlich von Leipzig) geboren, Gymnasium in Salzwedel (Altmark) und lehrte an verschiedenen Unis, wie Halle, Brandenburg, Berlin oder Frankfurt (Oder). Der war bei uns sehr berühmt, viele Turnhallen und Stadien wurden nach ihm benannt. In Berlin gab es zB. den Ludwig Jahn Sportpark, wo Stasi Mielkes BFC Dynamo spielte

Gudrun ^club has replied to uwschu ^club

Echt seltsam, dass Jahn im Westen ein Begriff war und GutsMuths nicht! Das soll einer verstehen...;-)
