Turners in Germany

Rinteln Turners  This is the German society that sent a great group of Turners to our National Turnfest in Aurora.  The main page is mostly in English and you can get to pictures of their trip easily.  There is also a report of their experience at the Turnfest and here in the USA, auf Deutsch.  Lots of interesting photos in a very nicely laid out web site.

Műnchen Turngau This is the web site for the Munich District.  It is almost all in German, but it has plenty of interesting things there.
