from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lieselotte Steingötter , b. Sinning (born June 22, 1910 in Greußen , Thuringia ; † August 3, 2008 in Kaiserslautern ) was a German athlete, exercise group leader and sports teacher.

Life

At the age of two, Lieselotte Sinnig moved with her parents to Kaiserslautern, where they ran a drugstore at Schillerstrasse 2. The family also included a younger sister and two other twin sisters.

After graduating from the higher female educational institution (HWB) in Kaiserslautern (successor: Burggymnasium Kaiserslautern), she worked in her parents' drugstore.

In the gymnastics club of 1861 Lieselotte met her future husband, the civil engineer and athlete Johann Steingötter. The couple married in February 1935 and had four sons between 1938 and 1944.

Athletic career and commitment

At the age of 12, Liselotte Sinnig became a member of the “Poseidon” swimming club, of which her father was chairman. He trained her to be a swimmer at the Waschmühle outdoor pool . In parallel, she played tennis and hockey.

In 1928 she became a member of the gymnastics club from 1861, which later became the gymnastics and sports community 1861 Kaiserslautern e. V. (TSG). Here she took over practice lessons for children and headed the department until the middle of the Second World War .

In 1930 Lieselotte Sinnig completed her training as a gymnast at the German Gymnastics School in Berlin. From then until 1986, that is, into old age, she was active as a trainer for women's gymnastics.

After the Second World War, Lieselotte and Johann Steingötter were committed to reviving gymnastics in the Palatinate. They set out on bicycles to visit and support sports clubs. Together with the gymnast Emmchen Weber, they created the opportunity in dance halls and gyms for people to be active again.

The then Barbarossa-Veldens-Kreis, today Turngau Sickingen, commissioned Lieselotte Steingötter in 1948 to expand women's gymnastics in the West Palatinate. As the successor to the women's gymnastics manager Els Schröder, she gave important impulses to girls' and women's gymnastics.

In 1951 Lieselotte and Johann Steingötter founded the Gymnastics and Fencing Club Kaiserslautern (TFC) together with other sports enthusiasts. Here, too, Lieselotte Steingötter was active as a trainer for women's gymnastics.

Lieselotte Steingötter attended courses with Hinrich Medau, one of the founders of rhythmic gymnastics in Germany. She trained herself in this completely new direction of gymnastics and brought this to the women's gymnastics in Kaiserslautern.

In the 1950s, Lieselotte Steingötter became a sports teacher at the newly founded University of Education in Kaiserslautern.

Always open to new developments in sport, Lieselotte Steingötter completed a course of the German Sports Association in Munich in May 1975 on "Movement opportunities for older people". This gave birth to her initiative for senior gymnastics in Kaiserslautern. In a nationally recognized pilot project, the TFC took on sponsorships in 1976 for the Käthe-Luther-Heim, St. Hedwigstift and Alex-Müller-Heim retirement homes. Here the Steingötter couple offered movement lessons with appropriate exercises in familiar surroundings. If the seniors came together in a gym, the best conditions were given with equipment, mats and benches. If there was no gymnastics room available, chair gymnastics with hand-held equipment was used. This is how Lieselotte and Johann Steingötter conveyed the joy of exercise to the elderly.

Lieselotte Steingötter was repeatedly appointed by the Sports Association of the Palatinate and the State Sports Association of Rhineland-Palatinate as a consultant for teaching and training measures in senior sports.

Lieselotte Steingötter was connected to sport all her life and committed to popular sport for children, women and senior citizens. It conveyed physical fitness, health care and the joy of exercising and doing sports together. Your commitment has been recognized with numerous honors.
