In den 1920er-Jahren schufen sich junge Menschen aus ganz Deutschland ihre Version des "Garten Eden".
In Mecklenburg, am Westufer des Plauer Sees, entstand die "Jungmöhl",
in der sie das ganze Jahr über gemeinschaftlich, nackt und vegetarisch lebten.
Der Film erzählt erstmals die unbekannte Geschichte der "Jungmöhl" und der mit ihr verbundenen FKK-Siedlungen in Niedersachsen und Schleswig-Holstein. (27.07.2024)

00:05The clouds are clearing from the cities and islands.
00:12He did what he wanted, and that always embarrassed me a lot.
00:22That really made many people's heads ring, and they said, "I'd like to experience that too."
00:32This free-spirited lifestyle, that was truly something special.
00:36What can I know for the children?
00:40Being naked is totally unappealing to me.
00:43That's just how it is, this feeling of being free.
01:00The demands of living in a big city.
01:04Germany after 1900.
01:10Restless.
01:12Loud.
01:16Relentless.
01:19Closely.
01:21Brave new world.
01:23Rather not.
01:25The life reformers want to change that.
01:27They are calling for a return to nature.
01:31And they have an idea.
01:33Nudism.
01:34Nudism.
01:36This became popular in the Roaring Twenties.
01:42Adolf Koch represents the proletarian branch.
01:46The anti-Semite Richard Ungewitter for the völkisch movement.
01:52While the nationalist nudists want a return to German nature, that is, back to the so-called Germanic people, who supposedly also existed in that form.
01:59there was
02:00People who are rather difficult might then want to return to biblical nature.
02:04Adam and Eve is the key phrase.
02:07Nudism is particularly successful in the Protestant north.
02:11Huge areas are being created.
02:14Mostly forgotten today.
02:17The young waste at Lake Plauer in Mecklenburg.
02:21The Lichtheideheim Glüisingen near Lüneburg.
02:25The Sonnenland in Egestorf.
02:29The League for Free Lifestyle in Hamburg.
02:33And the Klingberg open-air park near Scharbeutz.
02:39Its founder is Paul Zimmermann, a Saxon.
02:43He could once stroke his forehead like that.
02:47And then he could recite pages and pages of Nietzsche.
02:51Or Goethe's Faust, that was also one of his great treasures that he carried within him.
02:57He knew it by heart.
02:59In 1903, Zimmermann traveled through Holstein.
03:02The life reformer wants to found a school and is looking for a location.
03:06He receives a tip about Lake Pönitz.
03:10Go and take a look.
03:12And he was immediately enthusiastic and said, "That's it!"
03:16This is where I will stay.
03:18At 25, the factory owner's son founded a new town.
03:23Klingberg.
03:24Only vegetarians, like himself, are supposed to live there.
03:27And he has another passion.
03:30Paul Zimmermann was a supporter of nudism from his youth onwards,
03:34was never in a club, but always personally, that is, for himself,
03:40He found places where he could bathe naked without disturbing anyone or being disturbed himself.
03:45So that was his great wish, if I had my own basic destiny,
03:49I will arrange it so that there is always a nudist bathing area there.
03:55Zimmermann abandons the idea of a reform school.
03:59Too unprofitable.
04:01He opens a vegetarian guesthouse and recruits settlers.
04:07Fruit plantations and settlers' houses are being established.
04:14Simple wooden buildings. Most of them are still standing today.
04:22The first guests will arrive soon.
04:27Another Saxon is building a modern hotel in the town, paid for with lottery winnings.
04:35But it's not just vegetarians who come to Klingberg.
04:43Then Paul Zimmermann sympathizes with nationalist ideas.
04:49In 1909 he wrote the Klingberg Colors Song
04:53Blue eyes and golden hair are the most beautiful things in the world.
04:57Zimmermann maintains contact with anti-Semites.
04:59This was the so-called Al-Aria League.
05:02And they had very extreme ideas about rural Aryan breeding farms.
05:10And he embraced these ideas and invited people.
05:13People were at his place, they lived at his place.
05:16Of course, nothing came of it, because these ideas were so absurd.
05:20Also, of course, contrary to all moral standards of the time.
05:26that nothing could come of it.
05:29It's also bad for business.
05:32Zimmermann backtracks.
05:34I think he owes that to his wife, that everything doesn't fit so tightly.
05:38Not just addressing nationalist associations.
05:42She was very clever and said, "Don't do that."
05:45You don't have to commit to one direction so strictly.
05:49Live radically differently.
05:51This was tested at Lake Plau in Mecklenburg.
05:54From 1929 onwards.
05:59At the Jungmüll nudist resort.
06:02So we were born and raised in this way of life and in nature.
06:11And we have absorbed all of that.
06:14That was our childhood, that was our life.
06:19Jungmüll is located far from major cities.
06:25For naturist Johannes Müller, this is ideal.
06:29Here he wants to realize his lifelong dream.
06:34Naked, free, vegetarian.
06:37All the year long.
06:39This is his second attempt.
06:42The first one had failed.
06:44In Bavaria.
06:49Müller's Sonnenhof farm there had a hard time.
06:53Envious neighbors.
06:55Overzealous police officers.
06:58An indictment for causing a public nuisance.
07:05His crime: a bare bottom during the grain harvest.
07:14Resurrection in Mecklenburg.
07:17The son of a Baptist preacher believes in salvation through sunbeams.
07:22His Bible is called "Lightwards".
07:25Müller wants to create his own nudist community.
07:29I have sometimes wondered whether the path my father took,
07:36There may also have been a degree of rebellion against the parental home involved.
07:42But that's a question only I can ask myself anymore.
07:49If so, it's a revolt that's a lot of fun.
07:54Summers in the Jungmühl are exciting.
07:58Guests come from all over Germany. Many guests.
08:01We walked down to the lake and went swimming.
08:06And if I chattered and froze afterwards,
08:09Then I went to the guests and said,
08:11Do you have my towel for me?
08:17Johannes Müller promises his visitors a break from themselves.
08:27A gong calls for morning gymnastics on the lakeshore.
08:32Then I went ahead with my father, who had a tambourine.
08:37And then they did some early morning exercise and then went into the water.
08:43And yes, afterwards you had to figure out how to dry off.
08:49Without a towel. Of course.
08:53Müller's method makes it possible.
08:56Time for some dry toweling.
08:59Certain exercises that were repeated over and over again,
09:03until your whole body is more or less dry.
09:07With the countries, it's always this "Wumba-wumba-hahaha".
09:14And the belly clockwise. Rhubarb, rhubarb.
09:19The Jungmüll accommodations. Spartan.
09:24All the light-air huts are made of reeds and have no windows or doors.
09:29The simple life. A dream for tired city dwellers.
09:36And mosquitoes. Even eating is a bit of a hassle.
09:40No meat, no alcohol, no coffee.
09:45Fruit and vegetables come from our own garden.
09:48Guests must, and are allowed to, help.
09:53Johannes Möhner is a trained farmer.
09:59He rejects artificial fertilizer.
10:02He was an organic farmer before there were even any organic farmers.
10:13Great fun for everyone. Tours with the Lorelei.
10:19The charter boat cruises naked through the Mecklenburg Lake District.
10:30I was there once too, and my very fond memory is that there was a large pot of rice pudding as
10:41Lunch was served.
10:42Just before Röbel, there's a sandbank. People could stand in it. And then the plates were thrown by
10:51thrown into moods above.
10:56And they were immediately washed off in the Müritz lake.
11:01A naked ship – back then, that only existed in Mecklenburg.
11:06To attract even more guests, Müller places advertisements in nudist magazines.
11:14Many of these leaves originate in Igestorf, a village.
11:20The world's largest nudist publishing house has been located there since 1924.
11:28Editorial office and printing plant, all under one hipped roof.
11:35The boss is Robert Laura.
11:38Son of a factory owner, German-Bohemian, propagandist of nudism.
11:45In Igestorf he is almost forgotten today.
11:51Laura's books and magazines played a crucial role in shaping the nudist movement.
12:03For example, the illustrated Laughing Life.
12:08Edition of 42,000.
12:13They have been sold all over Germany.
12:16And they were not available for purchase in Igestorf itself.
12:21Lichtland also appears in Igestorf.
12:24A new issue every two weeks.
12:27Like laughing life, brimming with nude pictures.
12:31Joy is more for intellectuals.
12:35If you look inside these magazines and see how the advertising is presented,
12:39how they advertise with photographs, with Kranus, with skin oil of course, Nivea and so on.
12:46This is incredibly modern.
12:51Essays on reflection.
12:52Reports from around the world.
12:55Sex education.
12:57The booklets reflect the spirit of the Weimar Republic.
13:03There are tips for gymnastics classes and a cozy nudist retreat.
13:10And politics.
13:12We have sections with a nationalist slant.
13:14We have Adolf Koch and the proletarian nudist culture.
13:17We have a lot of information on the topic of religion and nudism.
13:20Worldview and nudism and so on.
13:23The discussions there are very colorful and very wide-ranging.
13:25And that is quite liberal.
13:28Like no other, the Igestorfer publishing house accompanied the nudist revolution of the 1920s.
13:37And he fuels them.
13:40Robert Laura, actually a building contractor, is both.
13:45Activist and businessman.
13:48Quite successful in both.
13:51It was a huge company.
13:53Robert Laura employed up to 20 people at times.
13:57And once the booklets were printed, they had to be taken to the post office.
14:01They had to be taken to the train station.
14:03And there were enormous quantities.
14:04And, for example, the students earned some pocket money.
14:08They drove up with a handcart and then loaded up packages.
14:13and brought to the train station for Robert Laura or for the publishing house.
14:19The post office even worked on Sunday.
14:21And at times, an extra carriage also had to be added to the train.
14:27to transport the many packages.
14:30The magazines are in demand, even among moral guardians.
14:34There is a barrage of complaints, seizures, and lawsuits.
14:40In 1926, eight issues of "Lachendes Leben" were to be banned and destroyed.
14:45This advertisement was apparently very massive.
14:48A trial took place in Lüneburg.
14:50He and his editor-in-chief, Walter Brauns, were charged.
14:58Accusation of jointly publishing obscene writings.
15:04Nudity as a crime.
15:07Laura is publishing the court transcript as a book.
15:13248 pages of legal wrangling over pubic hair length and shadows on female breasts.
15:23The verdict? Less amusing.
15:28Laura and Brauns are each sentenced to a fine of 1,000 marks or 50 days in prison.
15:35The two are lodging an objection.
15:39Because they want a landmark ruling.
15:42Are all nude pictures indecent?
15:46Or are they not?
15:48The case is being transferred from the Lüneburg district office to the Lüneburg regional court.
15:59Hundreds of pictures are now being inspected there.
16:08A Bavarian professor was summoned as an expert.
16:13Is this art or should it be removed?
16:16Chaste or lustful?
16:21Some say so, others like to take a slightly longer look.
16:27Moralists versus naked revolutionaries.
16:29In the end, there is a partial acquittal.
16:33Laura triumphs and founds a club.
16:40The League for Free Lifestyle.
16:48The club still exists in Hamburg today.
16:56He has been using his property in Schenefeld since 1928.
17:02The Dunker family joined 70 years ago.
17:05My parents' motivation was,
17:08that they were looking for a way to spend their free time together.
17:11The nudist area was the only one,
17:14who is setting up a gymnastics group for men and women.
17:17Dressed in a school gymnasium.
17:19They did that for many years.
17:21That's how they got onto the premises.
17:24That's a matter of tradition.
17:25My parents rode my bicycle here with me.
17:28They were avant-garde.
17:29They didn't tell anyone either.
17:30I wasn't allowed to tell anyone either.
17:33That I'm going to the nudist area here.
17:36The neighbors mustn't know about this.
17:38And their friends don't know.
17:40I still don't care.
17:46The evolution of naturism is reflected in club chronicles.
17:51This used to be the pond.
17:53Yes, a pond.
17:55And it always pinched when they went swimming here.
17:59Because they had tadpoles and other small creatures in them.
18:02who sometimes bit.
18:04There were only tents.
18:06And no caravans.
18:08And no television, no telephone.
18:12So everything was very spartan and also very close to nature.
18:16And there were almost 1000 people here.
18:18Even today, one must consciously choose to be naked.
18:23There are many, we have some women here who are here alone,
18:27because the men don't want to and don't dare.
18:30And vice versa.
18:36Real courage to embrace nudism was on display here.
18:41In Glüsingen, a village near Lüneburg.
18:47In 1927, a young teacher wanted to found a school for light education.
18:52Dr. Walter Frenzel.
18:57For that, he needs the blessing of the school authorities.
19:01My grandfather immediately told me what he planned to do here.
19:05And with nude classes, physical education classes
19:09and educate them to have free thoughts and without coercion, and I don't know what else.
19:15And my grandmother always stepped on his foot.
19:19He shouldn't talk so much about being naked.
19:25And then everything was fine.
19:27Then it was approved and then everything was fine.
19:31It starts on May 1, 1927.
19:36One class, six children.
19:39All offspring of nudist fans.
19:42He wanted to raise the children to be responsible people,
19:47who are not bullied and are not punished.
19:52That was a principle.
19:54Absolutely no corporal punishment.
19:58Frenzel still works as a teacher in Berlin at the Karl Marx School in Neukölln.
20:03A famous reform school, influenced by left-wing ideals.
20:07He taught there until 1930, while school operations were already underway here in Glüsingen.
20:15He always cycled here from Berlin every few weeks.
20:22And gave instructions here, accompanied this, and then went back to Berlin.
20:31280 kilometers there, 280 kilometers back.
20:38All for the greater good.
20:41Walter Frenzel loves challenges.
20:45In the mornings, they walk together through meadows, fields and forests.
20:49Naturally naked.
20:54At any time of year.
20:57In any weather.
21:01His own children are among his students.
21:05The Lichtschulheim is almost unique.
21:08Only in England is there something similar.
21:11Frenzel's role model.
21:14That has, of course, caused quite a stir.
21:17But the population has behaved cooperatively.
21:21Even the conservative farmers, they just told me he was crazy.
21:25And that was that.
21:27The pictures of Glüsingen are also included.
21:31Walter Frenzel's daughter Ulrike is 96 years old today.
21:37She still remembers her time at the Glüsingen Lichtschulheim well.
21:42That means you travelled by train, right?
21:43And also to her father and his enthusiasm for nudism.
21:48He didn't care what other people thought.
21:51He did what he wanted.
21:53And that was always very embarrassing for me.
21:58He wanted us to be dressed or undressed the way he thought we should be.
22:06And we weren't really in the mood for that.
22:13The daughter quickly notices that her father's boarding school is unusual.
22:20Especially when she later goes to a different school.
22:23I increasingly felt the urge to belong to my class or my girlfriend, and not to the nudist culture.
22:39so on.
22:42Rebellion against a rebellious father?
22:48The tenets of the life reform movement also apply in Glüsingen.
22:53No tobacco, no alcohol, no meat.
22:57That was probably important to my parents. There simply wasn't any meat.
23:03Once, out of sheer pity, the neighbors gave me a bread roll with a thick layer of liverwurst.
23:10And I didn't like it because I wasn't familiar with it.
23:14So I threw them into the bushes.
23:21Not easy. Life in Jungmühl on Lake Plau.
23:27Johannes Müller has created a little paradise for himself and his family in Mecklenburg.
23:35The nudist resort is thriving. But the summers are short. Money is tight, the property is large.
23:43Then came his idea that I should settle people here who share his outlook on life.
23:54And above all, nudism.
23:59Müller places advertisements in nudist magazines.
24:03He is looking for people for a nudist settlement.
24:07In times of global economic crisis, interested parties can be found quickly.
24:14They arrive in Mecklenburg with all their belongings, drawn by the promise of a great nudist adventure.
24:24My grandfather came up here from Saxony, part of my family.
24:27He also bought land from Fritz Möller, and is newly married.
24:32There used to be a goat shed there. The goat shed was converted into a house, where now basically my mother, my aunts, and uncles live.
24:42have become.
24:45The settlers help each other with house construction. A man from the Rhineland is building this log house.
24:56The wood comes from the other side of the lake.
25:00Then they paddled across for two days, tying two canoes together at a time, putting a few beams on top, and went back.
25:09back.
25:10And so they got him all the wood he needed, and that's how Gustl Schnauer's house was built.
25:17Soon, seven families will be living in the nudist settlement of Jungmüll. There is a peach orchard and beehives.
25:30Back to nature. Back to paradise.
25:36The dream of life reform seems to be coming true. Even in Glüsingen.
25:46The school and the Jungmüll group have a friendly relationship.
25:52The class often goes to Mecklenburg for Pentecost.
25:57Walter Frenzel now only teaches at his own school.
26:01He quit his permanent job in Berlin.
26:05He is now devoting himself entirely to his reform-pedagogical ideas.
26:11They had dance and reading evenings here at least once a week, that's what it was called.
26:15That's Tassilee for short. My grandfather was a big fan of abbreviations.
26:21Folk dances were arranged for the children and the adults.
26:26And then they read, texts were read, Goethe.
26:32That was also part of the school education.
26:39Even though many school photos show students and teachers naked, this is not always the case in everyday life.
26:49The school still attracts a lot of attention.
26:54Journalists from all over the world come to Glüsingen.
26:58Reports about the German school and its founder.
27:07In 1930, a Chinese man, Timothy Wang, visited.
27:13He went on a tour of Europe.
27:15He was here for several days. That must have been in November.
27:18He was quite cold.
27:22He played sports and admired the children.
27:27how they exercise barefoot in the cold temperature.
27:35His book is called "New Paths in Europe".
27:39Wang also writes about the Klingberg open-air park.
27:42American journalists are also inspecting it.
27:46Francis and Mason Merrill had been there for several weeks
27:50and then wrote a book about this open-air park.
27:53It was released in 1931.
27:56And that has led to a boom in American and English-speaking guests.
28:01Klingberg was practically drawn to me.
28:03If you look at the guestbooks,
28:05There are pages and pages of entries from English people, Americans, and South Americans.
28:12Paul Zimmermann's open-air park is developing
28:15to the international hotspot of the nudist scene.
28:21Nowhere is naturist life more sophisticated than in Holstein.
28:35Even celebrities and politicians like to stop by here.
28:39Well-protected on private property, one can live like in the Garden of Eden.
28:48When you go to school, you have the guests and the visitors.
28:49As soon as they arrived, they were allowed to drop all their coolness and just swim and go for walks.
28:55They could do gymnastics, whatever they wanted.
28:58It was a stress-free vacation.
29:03It takes some getting used to for the native inhabitants of Holstein.
29:05The farmers were very shocked and couldn't understand it at all.
29:11They couldn't even comprehend that my father, as an adult, was swimming in this lake.
29:19Paul Zimmermann's newly built country house.
29:26With its modern rooms, it is significantly more luxurious than the reed huts of the Jungmüll family.
29:34The American journalist couple raves about Klingenberg and the host.
29:41It was the best vacation we have ever experienced.
29:45As an adult, three weeks of just playing like a child, just bathing, doing gymnastics, and feeling free
29:52to be able to move.
29:53They had never experienced anything like this in America before.
29:57And when this book by these Americans was published in America,
30:02Did libraries cut out the pages with the nude photos even after 1931?
30:09Just imagine that.
30:20Things aren't prudish in Sonnenland Egestorf either.
30:26Founded by publisher Robert Laura, it primarily attracts middle-class naturist enthusiasts.
30:33They play sports and enjoy their vacation.
30:38Going on holiday in the early 1930s was still something special for many people.
30:44But not everyone is allowed to go to the sunny country.
30:48You couldn't just walk in.
30:50You had to belong to a club.
30:53You received an ID card and with this ID card you were allowed in.
30:57So he couldn't just tell a villager, "I also want access to the site." That wasn't possible.
31:04People still peek in quite often. From a nearby hill.
31:12What are they actually doing there?
31:17For Egestorf, Sonnenland is a major win.
31:22Nudism is turning the community into a tourist destination.
31:26The Sonnenland resort boasts its own swimming pool.
31:32Today it's just a pond.
31:36There are separate playing fields for the trendy sport of ring tennis.
31:44Ring tennis. It's a mix of volleyball and frisbee.
31:51The forest has since reclaimed the space.
31:57The communal huts are also gone.
32:04Up to eight beds in one room.
32:09Nudism as a group experience.
32:13They came mainly from the cities.
32:15So, of course, we're talking about Hamburg and the surrounding area.
32:19But Egestorf was world-famous.
32:22That's what it's called in advertisements, anyway.
32:24And there were a lot of Scandinavians here.
32:27But also English people and even a few Americans.
32:34With the Nazis' rise to power, all of that came to an end.
32:38Many of the nudist freedoms of the Weimar era are being revoked.
32:42Clubs banned or brought into line.
32:47All clubs are placed under the authority of the League for Physical Education.
32:51Its goal? To shape a way of life in accordance with one's own species.
32:55Racial mania instead of freedom and self-realization.
32:58Which means there is a leadership principle.
33:00The ARIA clause will be enforced.
33:02That is to say, the Jewish, social democratic and political
33:06So-called unclean people must all leave.
33:09They all have to leave the clubs.
33:12Sonnenland in Egestorf has been officially closed.
33:18Robert Laura's magazines? Forbidden.
33:29Walter Frenzel's Lichtschulheim in Glüsingen? Shut down.
33:36They were only allowed to continue teaching the children until the end of the school year.
33:43And then the school was closed.
33:46Frenzel's dream burst after six years.
33:50A friend of the school is coming to Glüsingen immediately.
33:53He flung open the door and shouted, "Are you still alive?"
34:00They were so tense.
34:03They were firmly convinced that they, just like the trade union movement,
34:08that these progressive schools, too, might end up in concentration camps or be persecuted.
34:18Frenzel tries in vain to obtain a new permit. Again and again.
34:23But even renting out nudist guest rooms will be prohibited.
34:28Police informants are monitoring him.
34:30Klingberg was also threatened in the summer of 1933.
34:36And then one could hear the SS marching in step.
34:43They came onto the property, stood around the fire and said,
34:48Now they wanted to sing their songs for the solstice.
34:52They lit this pyre of wood, and the people of Klingberg stood by, speechless.
35:00Paul Zimmermann is to place his private property under the control of the National Socialist League for Physical Education.
35:09But he refuses.
35:11The federal government therefore prohibits its members from staying in Klingberg.
35:16International visitors are also increasingly staying away.
35:21What Zimmermann has built up over 30 years is now on the brink.
35:29Johannes Müller also does not join the League for Physical Education.
35:37Jungmüll held on until 1935.
35:41One guest was dressed in blue at the hairdresser's and came back in the evening and said,
35:47They told me at the hairdresser's that they're closing down Jungmüll tomorrow.
35:51I know that we were sent to the neighborhood and only my mother and father were there.
36:00We shouldn't have to witness this.
36:03Three cars apparently pulled up and many people got out.
36:07And the first accusation they made against us was that we were friendly towards Jews.
36:14Jungmüll is being closed because Müller is ignoring Aria's methods.
36:19Well, I can remember one we always loved very much, that was Grandpa Hill.
36:25Grandpa Hill was a sailor and he often visited us, and sometimes he took us along.
36:32Yes, and then he cried bitterly because, of course, he didn't get the membership card from the League for Physical Education, because he
36:41It wasn't Aria.
36:45A regular customer, who is a lawyer, is taking Müller to court. Jungmüll is allowed to reopen, under one condition.
36:53And so, in the end, he had no other option but to join this league for physical discipline.
37:00And as I remember him, it must have been very difficult for him to have to submit to that.
37:08to preserve its existence.
37:12The carefree nudist life in Jungmüll is now finally over.
37:20What remains are the old songs.
37:25Many garments of colorful splendor, meet no finch, you colorful ones, though Speyer and mockers demand of us, the sun sets on us
37:34not below.
37:36A great song. And that's the Jungmüll song, and it's still stuck in the deepest recesses of our brains.
37:46today.
37:48During World War II, Johannes Müller was sent to the front. Uniform, orders, obedience. Instead of freedom, light and sun.
38:01His trail disappears in Poland in January 1945. That also marks the end of Jungmüll.
38:12His wife and children cannot afford to keep the property. Many young residents of the waste settlement remain.
38:20Gustl always ran around naked in the summer. Only with his wool scarf and straw hat, his feet bare too.
38:27And he also enjoyed bathing and swimming. And then, over time, more and more people came here.
38:33ran up the path
38:34Tudor said to him, "Gustl, you must bring swimming trunks." Yes, she meant to wear them. And he had
38:44Must be taken along.
38:45And then he took his swimming trunks and still went to the pool naked. That was Gustl.
38:53The veterans of the life reform movement remain true to themselves.
39:04A woman came up here from Saxony-Anhalt. Yes, when we came down to the waiter's place one summer and
39:09who was running around naked like that,
39:11She never saw anything like it again in her life. It was unthinkable. But you get used to it eventually.
39:17Things started looking up again in Klingenberg after the war.
39:21In the 1950s, Paul Zimmermann promoted his open-air park as a planting and care center for Nordic physical culture.
39:32Celebrities will also be returning.
39:34They always had to cross the road to get to the lake.
39:37They were advised to put something on, but then there was Maximilian Scheldamm as a guest, and so on.
39:43And then, of course, the young people stood there in amazement, waiting for him to come.
39:49The shopkeeper was not happy about the punishment.
39:52A modern swimming pool is built. A bad investment. In 1981, the open-air park goes bankrupt.
40:04In Glüsingen, Walter Frenzel was able to receive guests again after the war.
40:09The school no longer exists.
40:11He would always sit among his books and files, working there practically from morning till night as a private scholar.
40:19Place.
40:19He led it here, pursued his ideas, and wrote documents.
40:26Today, the Frenzel family, now in its third generation, runs the nudist resort.
40:33The nudist heritage is also highly valued in the Hamburg League for Free Lifestyles.
40:39The club has 300 members, and the number is rising.
40:43Jutta Duncker has been with the company since 1952, with a short break.
40:49If it weren't for those five years, I would now have been a member of this club for 70 years.
40:54I just thought my life was taking a direction where it no longer fit in.
40:57But after that fell through, I came back again.
41:02I'm actually happy here. Look around. This is little Faridies.
41:08Created by many generations.
41:17Even though times, rituals and waist sizes change, nudism has been a way of life for more than 100 years.
41:32It's simply this feeling of being free and being able to live here like this. And it's always...
41:40People there you can talk to. No matter what.
41:44We get asked a lot by people we know, like, "So, what do you guys do?"
41:48Do you do that too? Do you do your yoga naked? Do you do naked yoga and so on?
41:52And then sometimes I just can't stand hearing anymore that I say, no, of course we're not doing yoga.
41:56naked.
41:57We do that quite normally; there's no need to be compulsively naked.
42:02And look, here we still have our old logos, hand-embroidered. I don't even know if
42:08That's how it is...
42:08And what about the old rules? No alcohol, no tobacco, no meat?
42:13There's no such thing as coercion, like saying, "No, you can't eat a grilled sausage now."
42:19And since I don't drink alcohol or smoke, I pay particular attention to making sure that it's not overdone.
42:28This will happen here.
42:30When some people occasionally drink one glass of wine too many.
42:37That's what he's doing now.
42:43That's not true at all.
42:48Naked.
42:52Free.
42:56Vegetarian.
43:00For more than 100 years, people in Northern Germany have been searching for their paradise on earth.
43:10Some have found it.
43:14But he continues on.
43:14He drives прямklar.
43:17Now more of the hammer from the Zeitge Hundred can be used at the top.
43:18So far in Northern Germany her>-
