Life

Max Stebens was the son of Heinrich Stebens (1859–1904) and his wife Dorothea, née Lüthje (1866–1916). His main job was to work on address book entries from 1917 at the latest as a lithographer , until 1920 with residence in Rissen , then Altona , later in Hamburg , most recently in 1937 with the registration address Straßburger Straße 51 , Hamburg-Dulsberg .

At the German Gymnastics Championships in Frankfurt am Main in 1925 he was runner-up in the four-way gymnastics on the rings . Before 1928, as part of guest training that lasted several days, he also trained the competitive gymnasts of the Danish gymnastics and swimming club Hermes ( Gymnastik- og Svømmeforeningen Hermes ) - which is particularly successful in national competitions and produced swimmers like Edgar Aabye and Ludvig Dam - in Frederiksberg am Reck and ingots .

At the beginning of April 1927 Pfeiffer belonged to the Holland team of the Hamburg gymnastics club, which was supposed to do gymnastics in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam . Gymnastics was described as a great success in the Hamburg press.

Stebens took part in the gymnastics demonstrations of the 1936 Olympic Games. He had chosen to do this in an elimination round, which had been scheduled by Gaumännerturnwart Hugo Lüer , on July 6, 1936 in the hall of the Hamburger Turnerschaft v. Qualified as the second best gymnast in 1816. Gymnasts from Berlin and Hamburg, who in some cases just failed to qualify for the final Olympic competitions, were able to present themselves to the audience in a swing ring gymnastics as part of the presentation of 45 minutes of German gymnastics . This event took place in front of the main stand in the Olympic Stadium.

It is worth mentioning that these athletes did gymnastics in front of a larger number of spectators than the Olympic champions who competed in the Dietrich-Eckart open-air stage (today: Berliner Waldbühne).

From 1938, according to the entries in his address book, he worked as a gymnastics teacher and lived at Ritterstrasse 9 in Hamburg-Eilbek .

In the post-war period he lived in the Hamburg address books from 1953 to the end at Bauernrosenweg 7 in Hamburg-Wandsbek , initially with the job title of offset printer . After his death, his body was buried in his parents' family grave at the Ohlsdorf cemetery, where his wife Herta, née Bade (1908–1987), found her final resting place.
