Orplid (nudist)
Orplid is the name of several nudist clubs in Germany that belong to the DFK . The name goes back to Eduard Mörike's poem Gesang Weylas , where he describes a fictional, mystical island that is deified by its unspoilt nature:
- You are Orplid , my country!
- The distant shines;
- your sunlit beach steams from the sea
- the mist so moistens the cheek of the gods.
- Ancient waters rise
- rejuvenated around your waist, child!
- Bow down to your deity
- kings who are your keepers.
The nudist movement has had a nature-loving attitude since it was founded. The name Orplid expresses the longing for a life in harmony with nature, as well as the return to paradise at the beginning of humanity. The clubs therefore created "paradisiacal" club grounds in order to realize this ideal.
