1900 to 1945
_in_Bremen_1928_(retuschiert2).jpg)
In addition to gymnastics, other sports were increasingly being practiced in the clubs. So from 1900 the gymnastics clubs changed into gymnastics and sports clubs. The appropriate clubs have now also been formed for the new sports.
In 1900, Ernst Hoppenberg from Bremen received the gold medal for the 200 m backstroke at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris from the Bremer Swim Club in 1885 . He was also German champion several times.
From 1919 to 1933 the clubs in Bremen were organized in "bourgeois" sports associations or in the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association (ATSB), which was closely linked to social democracy .
In 1928 Leni Schmidt from Bremen won the bronze medal with the 4 x 100 meter relay at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. In 1929 she was also the German champion in the 200-meter run .
The Bremerin Selma Grieme of the sports fans Bremen was in the 1930s in the high jump, long jump, all-around and 4 x 100-meter relay race successfully.

1945 to 1999
After the Second World War, the American occupying power intensively promoted the new sporting life as part of their “re-education” and checked the boards of directors for their political reliability when the clubs were approved. The clubs were gradually approved until the end of 1945 and the traditional clubs until the end of 1946. Sports with an apparently military focus, such as fencing or gliding, were only allowed again in 1948/49 and uniformed marching bands were not allowed again until 1950.
Education Senator Christian Paulmann (SPD) appointed the former president of the citizenship Max Jahn (SPD) as Bremen's sports representative and head of the office for physical exercise in 1946 .

The earlier separation of workers' sports clubs and "civil" clubs should no longer be continued in the future. Women were initially only very sparsely represented in the management bodies of the associations and clubs. Politically, sport was dealt with in the sport deputation, which was headed for a long time by Senator Annemarie Mevissen (SPD), but in which only men were represented for many years. The nickname Doornkaat Deputation must be well founded.
On July 6, 1946, the founding of today's State Sports Association Bremen (LSB) as the first uniform umbrella organization in the state took place in the premises of the Vorwärts Association .

According to Drees, sport should become the “only, democratic popular movement”. In the following years, the proportion of Bremen's sports personalities who came from working-class sports was very large, as they were politically unaffected. Even Fritz Piaskowski (SPD), co-founder of the LSB, which led to LSB after 1966, came out of the workers' sports.
