Reichsbahnsport: Frauengymnastik
In the series of films about Reichsbahn sports, the film is aimed at female railway workers. According to the film, women in particular are exposed to the dangers of physical injury while on duty. German gymnastics shows the way to keep the body fresh and supple through sensibly designed rhythmic movements. In individual and group exercises, while springing, running, walking, hopping, and jumping, the body is kept in motion—every limb is trained, tension and relaxation alternate methodically, providing the basis for the proper functioning of the entire organism and creating a balance between body and soul. The film was intended to encourage female railway workers to form gymnastics groups and experience together the joy that rhythmic physical training would bring.
