Contexte et analyse
This amateur film deals with two different subjects, which were recorded separately. The first minute is about a sports performance by a men and women team from the Lahr gymnastics club on the Schlossplatz. The second minute is followed by recordings of the carnival parade in 1937. At the beginning of the film there is a title "Lahr, the city of the limping messenger". This name refers to the folk calendar 'Lahrer Linkender Bote', which appeared from 1800 and has since been published with the subtitle "The Baden Calendar". The main title refers to the fact that around 1800 invalids often only had the opportunity to make a living as messengers or newspaper sellers. The content consists of a calendar, information on memorial days, planting and sowing dates, farmers' rules, pollen count, the centenary calendar, country-specific articles and stories, some in Alemannic dialect, as well as photos and drawings.
Sports exercises
All recordings of the sports performances took place in today's Schlossplatz from the same position without a tripod. The Karl Erber furniture store, which can be seen in the background, has now become a branch of a drugstore chain and enables localization. Gymnastics became very popular with the advent of the labor movement in the second half of the 19th century. The Lahr gymnastics club was founded in 1846 already and is one of the oldest gymnastics clubs in the Southwest. Today, with almost 2,000 members, it is the largest club that offers sports in Lahr. The young women in short sports dress with the club's logo perform choreographed and synchronized gymnastics and dance exercises with small balls. Afterwards, old men show gymnastic exercises with leather slingshots that they throw at each other. In the background, many children and some adults can be seen as spectators, including a soldier in uniform and a policeman who keeps the youngsters at bay. Some of them are lightly dressed and in combination with the position of the sun and the resulting shadows, the sporting performance can be dated to the midday in spring; the year of admission remains unclear, but will be in the second half of the 1930s. At the end of this sequence, the camera pans from left to right and follows the march of the men with their shouldered balls.
Carnival parade
The sequence begins with a written title "Von der Lohrer Fasnet" (From the Lohrer Carnival) shows the move on Sunday, February 7, as evidenced by an article in the Lahrer Zeitung on February 8, 1937: "'Such has never been there!' Flow of people, which rolled from the whole circle into the official city of the Lahr Fasentzunft, clogged the streets long before the carnival parade through the main street of the city led its huge queue of wit and satire through. " The article makes it clear that many clubs and music groups from Lahr and the neighboring towns participated in the parade. Not all of the numbers the article mentions are documented in the very short film of less than a minute. The amateur filmmaker with his 16 mm camera has chosen an elevated position and lets the train pass him by. The images are somewhat blurred. The film was shot without a tripod and cut in the camera, so to speak, by stopping it and starting it again on the next subject.
You can see the Klepperlesgard, the city chapel and the civil militia Lahr, which were closely connected to the carnival. This was followed by the guild council on a gala car and a motive car to tunnel the Schutterlindenberg. Two of them are walking in camel costumes, which the article comments: "'When grass has finally grown over an old thing, a camel will surely come running that will tear everything down again' - the 'Liederkranz' Lahr embodied the sewerage concerns of the population." (LZ, 8.2.1937). A ring is built on another car, in which two boxers fight with each other. Reference was made to the fight of the German boxing star Max Schmeling against Joe Jacobs on June 19, 1936 in New York, which the German won after twelve rounds. Under the motto "If we don't have snow, we go to sea", the ski club on the ship 'Skihaserl' enjoyed itself. The main street is densely filled with audiences, which are mostly not disguised except for the children. This can be attributed to the fact that this move was only the second official one in Lahr. Before that, the fools mostly celebrated in closed rooms, because at the beginning of the 20th century Lahr was predominantly Protestant and the carnival was officially prohibited. Nevertheless, a move was secretly carried out in what was then "Kriz-Gass", today's Gärtnerstrasse, and the community tolerated it. In 1936, the first official carnival parade was carried out in Lahr.
