As the sponsor of the Jahn Museum, the Jahn Society has set itself the goal of researching the life and work of the founder of the gymnastics movement in Germany and his environment, as well as educating people about his significance for the past and present.<\/p>\n<p>The Jahn Society emerged in 2008 from the Association for the Promotion of Tradition and Preservation of the Freyburg Jahn Memorials, which was founded in 1992.<\/p>\n<p>Jahn spent a large part of his life in Freyburg.

It wants to bring Jahn as an important person of German contemporary history as well as his work into the field of vision of a broad public. To this end, the Society maintains relationships with the German Gymnastics Federation and the regional gymnastics associations, with universities, schools, museums and organizations that feel committed to this cause. The Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Gesellschaft runs the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Museum in Freyburg, which, in addition to a permanent exhibition on Jahn's life and work, also shows special exhibitions and makes its archives available for research. It also looks after the Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Hall of Honor, which was built by the German Gymnastics Association in 1903.<\/p>\n\t<p>Activities<\/p>\n\t<p>The Jahn Society runs the Jahn Museum and looks after the Hall of Honor in Freyburg an der Unstrut. It is responsible for the contents and exhibitions as well as for the preservation and research of the collections.
