Life

Hahmann grew up first in Dingelstedt and from 1933 in Blankenburg . He practiced swimming and skiing, ball games, gymnastics and athletics.

In 1941 he began an apprenticeship at a teacher training institute in Blankenburg, and at the age of 18 he was seconded to the Reich Labor Service in Zerbst. In 1944 he was trained for combat missions by the Wehrmacht in Salzwedel , and at the beginning of 1945 he was threatened with legal proceedings because he had spoken to an officer about the end of the Third Reich. In the end there was no trial, and shortly afterwards Hahmann was used in the fight against Soviet tanks. With other soldiers he fled from the approaching Soviet Army, swimming across the Elbe near Wittenberg , to be captured by the US. In the summer of 1945, Hahmann was released, returned to Blankenburg and found in Eilenstedt a job as a primary school teacher.

Hahmann played soccer for SFV Dingelstedt in the second half of the 1940s, and on November 9, 1949, he fled the German Democratic Republic to the FRG . From 1950 he completed his studies at the Technical University of Braunschweig (subjects: sport and history) as an elementary school teacher and worked in this profession during and afterwards for several years. At the German Sport University in Cologne , he completed additional training for elementary school teachers with a focus on sport. He then worked as a teacher in Braunlage from 1955 and then in Braunschweig, followed by a further teaching degree (geography, chemistry and sport for the higher teaching degree), which he completed again in Braunschweig and graduated in 1964.

From 1964, Hahmann worked as a sports lecturer at the Worms University of Education, where he completed his second state examination in 1965 and his doctoral thesis in 1968 (topic “Correlation between growth patterns and motivational genesis for physical activity and its statement for physical education”). In 1970 he was appointed associate professor at the Worms University of Education. From 1972 to 1985 he taught at the Educational Science University of Rhineland-Palatinate in Mainz and then from 1985 held a professorship for sports education and sports promotion classes at the Institute for Sports Science at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz . He retired in 1995, but continued to work scientifically until 2008.

As early as 1957, Hahmann and colleagues established the forerunner of the German Sports Teachers Association with a working group for school sports teachers. In 1971 he was one of the participants in the founding event of the Working Group for Sport Psychology in Germany and was later involved on the board of this institution for years. He was also a founding member of the German Association for Sports Science (DVS) and was a member of the first DVS board in 1976 and 1977.

In 1987 Hahmann was awarded the Order of Merit on Ribbon by the Federal Republic of Germany .

His main research interests included disabled sports, the upbringing of children and young people with abnormal posture and movement, and rehabilitation. In 2005 he brought out the first volume of a book series by the German Association for Sports Science under the title “Sportive Retail Experienced, Taught, Researched”. This series was put under the motto "Lived Sports Science".
