All political systems of the late 19th and 20th centuries rubbed up against this figure and used him as a projection screen. He stands symbolically for the \"biography of the Germans&#8220; and, with his extraordinarily differentiated reception, continues to have an effect on our society here and now, polarized in rejection and veneration. Based on its democratic self-image, the museum also cultivates a democratic approach to different opinions.<\/p>\n<p>On the tour, visitors can explore the four thematic complexes of <strong>\"Creator of German gymnastics&#8220;, \"Personal life and family&#8220;, \"Publicist and patriot&#8220; and \"Reformer &#8211; Revolutionary?

This view of the &#8222;whole Jahn&#8220; with all his merits, achievements and goals, but also with all his human weaknesses, failures, disappointments and conflicts, runs through all the exhibition complexes.<\/p>\n<p>Bis 2029 soll eine v\u00f6llig neue Dauerausstellung umgesetzt werden, die neben dem Leben und Wirken auch die Rezeptionsgeschichte von 1852 bis in die Gegenwart in den Blick nimmt.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<p>Creator of German Gymnastics<\/p>\n<p>Personal life and family<\/p>\n<p>Journalist and patriot<\/p>\n<p>Reformer &#8211; Revolutionary?

Besides Ernst Bernhard Wilhelm Eiselen (1792-1846), Karl Friedrich Friesen (1784-1814) was Jahn's most important comrade-in-arms in the development of gymnastics.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jahn-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JM_Turnpferd.jpg\" alt=\"JM_Turnpferd\" title=\"JM_Turnpferd\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t<p>An eye-catcher of particular historical significance is the &#8222;Schwingel&#8220; (gymnastics horse), which the Berlin gymnasts gave to their &#8222;gymnastics father&#8220; for Christmas 1812.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jahn-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-museum-3@2x.jpg\" alt=\"image-museum-3@2x\" title=\"image-museum-3@2x\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t<p>Living room in Jahn's time in Biedermeier style<\/p>\n\t<h3>FamilyFriedrich Ludwig Jahn:<br \/>\nPersonal life and family<\/h3>\n\t<p>The second complex depicts Jahn's private life from his <strong>Childhood<\/strong> until his death. Among other things, the long <strong>Engagement<\/strong> with his first wife, the six years of dungeon and <strong>Fortress Prison<\/strong> and the following <strong>A new start in exile in Freyburg<\/strong> illustrated by various documents and objects from the personal possessions of Jahn and his family.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the four-square chess set, notebook, walking stick and tobacco pipe and pouch of the &#8222;gymnastics father&#8220;, the oil painting by the painter Heine, for which Jahn himself is said to have modeled, is particularly impressive.<\/p>\n\t<h3>Publicist and patriotFriedrich Ludwig Jahn:<br \/>\nJournalist and patriot<\/h3>\n\t<p>Among other things, his two major works will be on display: <strong>\"Deutsches Volksthum&#8220; <\/strong>(1810) and <strong>\"The German Art of Gymnastics&#8220; <\/strong>(Jahn\/Eiselen 1816), the latter in an expanded edition of 1847 that has become rare. With \"Volksthum&#8220;, Jahn occupies a worthy place among those progressive German reformers at the beginning of the 19th century whose works are referred to as national education plans.<\/p>\n<p>The handwritten texts exhibited here are only a small selection from the museum's collection.<\/p>\n<p>The manuscript on the Thirty Years' War, as well as the letter from his wife, with their fire damage, illustrate the tragic losses of books, letters and other manuscripts that Jahn had suffered in the fire of his apartment in 1838.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jahn-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-museum@2x.jpg\" alt=\"image-museum@2x\" title=\"image-museum@2x\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\tThe \"worry chair&#8220; in the study and the<br \/>\nWriting secretary belong to the preserved furniture<br \/>\nfrom Jahn's personal possession.\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jahn-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-museum-4@2x.jpg\" alt=\"image-museum-4@2x\" title=\"image-museum-4@2x\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t<h3>Friedrich Ludwig JahnReformer &#8211; Revolutionary?<br \/>\nGerman bumpkin &#8211; German?<\/h3>\n\t<p>The fourth complex presents highlights of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn's political activity. A Jahn quote and the map of Central Europe at the end of the 18th century illustrate the experiences and political conditions gained in his childhood and youth as the starting point for his lifelong striving for a unified German nation state.<\/p>\n\t<p>With his National Education Plan, the book<strong> \"Deutsches Volksthum&#8220;<\/strong>his initiative to establish the secret <strong>German Federal<\/strong>, the establishment of the public gymnastics field on the <strong>Hasenheide<\/strong> and the spreading of gymnastics in Prussia and other German states, as well as with his activities for the founding of the Deutsche <strong>Original fraternity<\/strong> Jahn took on a variety of tasks aimed at realizing the idea of German unity.<\/p>\n<p>The \"Burschenschaftern\" (fraternity members), most of whom were also gymnasts, held a meeting in the autumn of 1817. <strong>Wartburgfest<\/strong> aroused the distrust of the princes once and for all. The murder of the Russian councillor of state August von Kotzebue by the Burschenturner Karl Sand was the final cause for the <strong>\"Demagogue persecutions&#8220;<\/strong>, the arrest of F. L. Jahn and the<strong> \u201eTurnsperre&#8220;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The last topic in this complex is devoted to Jahn's activities as a member of the Frankfurt National Assembly in 1848\/49.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jahn-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/img-museum@2x.jpg\" alt=\"img-museum@2x\" title=\"img-museum@2x\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MuseumMuseum Entdecken St\u00e4ndige AusstellungSt\u00e4ndige Ausstellung Das 1838\/39 erbaute Haus beherbergt heute das Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Museum #lebenundwirken Die Dauerausstellung im Erdgeschoss des Wohnhauses vermittelt einen umfassenden Einblick in das Leben und Wirken des \u201eTurnvater&#8220; Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, der als eine durchaus umstrittene Figur der deutschen Geschichte des 19.
