irishmurr > This is a bust of gymnast, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, founder of physical education.  He organized the first gymnast clubs in 1811.

"Friedrich Jahn was (and still is) known as "Father Jahn" for having fathered the many athletic clubs and for being like a father to so many young men. 

He is also known as a great German nationalist. He was dismayed by the breakup of Prussia after the Napoleonic Wars in 1806 and fought for the renewal of the German nation. He was elected to the national parliament in Frankfurt in 1848."  [source:  clevelandseniors.com]
