Planning and awarding

On November 19, 2011 State Secretary Thomas Härtel , DTB President Rainer Brechtken and BTFB President Frank Ebel announced that the International German Gymnastics Festival 2017 will take place in Berlin. Berlin was the only applicant city and, after 1861, 1968, 1987 and 2005, it is hosting the world's largest competitive and popular sports event for the fifth time. At the beginning of January 2015 it was announced that the gymnastics festival will take place from June 3 to 10, 2017. The organizing committee had started its work two and a half years earlier.

Supporting program

Several festive events took place as part of the gymnastics festival. On Saturday, June 3, 2017, the international gymnastics festival was officially opened with a ceremony in front of around 400 invited guests from politics, society and sport in the AXICA congress and conference center in the DZ BANK. The reception was followed by a traditional parade on Straße des 17. Juni with around 15,000 gymnasts from 22 regional associations. This ended with the official opening ceremony on the stage at the Brandenburg Gate , where a diverse show program was organized for the visitors. Olympic gymnast Andreas Toba made his comeback on the pommel horse after a nine-month break due to a torn cruciate ligament in Rio de Janeiro .

In addition to various gymnastics shows by amateur and competitive athletes and a trade fair on gymnastics at the Berlin Exhibition Center , a stadium gala with over 6,000 participants took place in the Olympiastadion Berlin on June 6, 2017. The gala was attended by 55,000 spectators, Chancellor Angela Merkel gave a speech and the former gymnastics world champion Eberhard Gienger landed precisely in the arena with his 5192nd jump from a height of 1000 meters with the parachute. The high bar Olympic champion Fabian Hambüchen was bid farewell to his international career after 14 years at the event.

Various championships were held as part of the gymnastics festival, including the German championships and youth championships in apparatus gymnastics .
