Auf den Spuren von GutsMuths

1989 · 26 min Documentary

Johann Friedrich GutsMuths (1759-1839) was an educator and co-founder of gymnastics. He developed an entire system of gymnastic exercises for young people and summarized it in the book "Gymnastics for Young People" as a kind of instruction book. At a time when sporting activity was frowned upon, he had at least one hour of gymnastics a day at the Salzmannsche Erziehungsanstalt in Schnepfenthal (Thuringia). GutsMuth's work as the founder of the Volkssport movement is brought to life through contemporary testimonies, pictures and quotes.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Auf den Spuren von GutsMuths is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1989. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
