Olympic roll
The Olympic roll is a woman's hairstyle that came into fashion in Germany in the mid-1930s. The hair is pulled long at the nape of the neck and pinned up into an outer roll. It is reminiscent of the hairstyle of Venus de Milo . Some women wore the Olympic scroll with a pony twisted into little curls.
The shape of the Olympic scroll stems from a new enthusiasm for topics of antiquity , which flared up in Europe after the discovery of Tutankhamun's grave ; the name goes back to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin .
The Schildkröt doll Inge , which was first created for the Olympic Games in 1936, wears this hairstyle: “With her blue eyes, blonde hair and the legendary 'Olympic scroll' she corresponded to what Hitler wanted, and she was made for that ' Millennial Empire '. "
