Histaria Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 The 4-F emblem on the pin bar indicates this was an event of the German Turnverein established by Friedrich Ludwig Jahn in 1811. Jahn is still seen as the founding father of gymnastics and he is credited with introducing early forms of the balance beam, horizontal bar, parallel bars, and vaulting horse. The symbol combines the four letters F found in Jahn's motto, "Frisch, Fromm, Fr?hlich, Frei" (Fresh, Pious, Happy, Free). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
