The German Turner Association, which is the second largest sports association in Germany with 4.6 million members, looks back on a long tradition and offers a variety of sports opportunities. Especially since Friedrich Ludwig Jahn was founded in 1811, gymnastics has become more important and was established in 1896 as an Olympic discipline. Women have been able to participate in Olympic competitions since 1928, which makes gymnastics particularly attractive for young athletes such as the team members of TV Wetzgau.
