Richard Reuther of Oppau

The greatest influnce of modern gymnastics is Richard Reuther the German of Oppau. born in 1909. The world will thank him and his friend Rudi Spieth manufacturer for today's efficient gymnastics apparatrus.

Perhaps the most appreciated was the springboard which was introduced in 1950. He has been concerned with his horizontal bar dsign as early as 1930, but only succeded after World War II with pre-tensioning.

He was a quiet , friendly gymnastwho also knew much about training. and taking care og gymnasts.His clun Turnerbund Oppau was German team champion several times.

He was always a good " gymnastics brother" as the term has been used in German Gymnastics since Friedrich Ludwig Jahn whenever you address a freind.
