German Gymnastics Working Committee
The German Gymnastics Working Committee (DAT) was the forerunner of the German Gymnastics Federation from 1947 to 1950 . He saw himself as the successor to the German Gymnastics Association , which dissolved itself in the course of the Gleichschaltung in 1935 in order to forestall a ban during the time of National Socialism in Germany.
development
After the Second World War , the German Gymnastics Working Committee (DAT) was founded during the first unofficial German championship in artistic gymnastics in Northeim on September 13, 1947 .
From August 19 to 23, 1948, the DAT held the Frankfurt Gymnastics Festival , which is now counted as the 19th German Gymnastics Festival .
At the German Gymnastics Day in Frankfurt am Main in 1949 , its first delegate day, the DAT sought to reorganize the German Gymnastics Federation beyond the borders of the occupation zones. However, the Allied Control Council Directive No. 23 opposed this. The former German gymnastics workers spoke out in favor of a democratic unified organization of gymnastics in Germany. Walter Kolb was elected chairman.
The official founding of the German Gymnastics Federation (DTB) could not yet take place on the Turntag 1950 in Frankfurt: The previous attempts were prevented despite all efforts of Walter Kolb by the veto of the French members of the Allied High Commission . The DTB was only founded on September 2, 1950 in Tübingen .
