My sister was in ‘Fichte’, and that was the reason why I joined them, too.
-
I was the only one in my class.
-
There were mainly reactionary teachers there.
-
They did not have anything in mind with ‘Fichte’.
-
Here in ‘Fichte’ I felt comfortable. It was nice for a child to be and to do sports with others.
-
On Sundays we sometimes went on excursions into the proximity of Berlin.
-
You just felt secure there in the circle of peers under the supervision of older people,
-
who pointed out a lot of things when we were walking
-
and that was something that impressed us especially.
-
The labourer sports movement had already been founded in the previous century
-
as a counter organisation to the civil sports movement that went more the chauvinistic way.

Apprenticeship, Inflation
-
I can’t remember when my father came back home.
-
When soldiers, who were demobbed, came through Tempelhof,
-
I always used to run there but I never saw my father with them.
-
One thing that just belongs to this time: 1923, the inflation.
-
My sister used to stand in front of the baker’s shop, me at the butcher’s
-
and we used to wait until my father came back from work and he had a backpack full of money.
-
Then he used to give us bundles of it and with them we paid for the bread or a 250 g of sausage or a 500 g of meat.
-
The money was worthless the next day.
