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.
-
During this time many sank into poverty.
-
A lot of people had paid war bonds
-
and they became invalid – were not worth anything.
-
So, whoever had no material goods, lost everything.
-
1927 I left school.
-
Then I tried for an apprenticeship.
