Memorial in Volkspark Hasenheide |

If you enter Volkspark Hasenheide at the south entrance, you'll soon notice a couple of strange wooden objects behind a fence on your left hand side. These are original reconstructions of early gymnastic equipment which the 19th century politician, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778-1852), constructed here to beef up young Germans. Heading further up the hill, you'll come across a memorial to Jahn. It's slightly neglected, but nonetheless interesting. Dozens of marble slates surround the pedestal—these are greetings from Jahn's followers from all over the world—from Rio de Janeiro and Massachusetts, as well as from tiny little German villages which no one has ever heard of. Don't miss the park after visiting the memorial! Review © 2009, Wcities |
