Life
Bothmer was the son of the royal Bavarian Colonel Moritz Graf von Bothmer (1845–1895) and Sophie Edle von Taeuffenbach (1851–1920). In 1902 he graduated from the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich and then entered the Bavarian military service. On October 22, 1913, he married Hildegard Freiin von und zu der Tann-Rathsamhausen (* December 14, 1888 in Augsburg , † May 26, 1955 in Stuttgart ), the daughter of the royal Bavarian treasurer and major general Ludwig Freiherr von und zu der Tann- Rathsamhausen and the Sophie Freiin von Feilitzsch . There were three children from this marriage.
From 1922, Bothmer developed, in collaboration with Rudolf Steiner , the Bothmer gymnastics, which was later named after him. This consists of a series of movement sequences based on the interplay between the human figure, its elementary functional conditions and the spatial dimension.
