The Origins: Health in the Republic

The roots of Sonnenfreunde predate the GDR itself. Launched in the 1920s during the Weimar Republic, the magazine was born out of the Lebensreform (life reform) movement. This was a time when urbanization drove Germans to seek solace in nature. The ethos was simple: the human body was not shameful, but a vessel of health that thrived under the sun.
