Turner in German translates as gymnast, which is why this photo of the gym in the Independent turnverein is filled with equipment for the sport. The image shows that they used vaulting and pommel horses, parallel bars, rings, climbing ropes, and Swedish ladders. In the back of the room, there is a balcony for spectators to observe and cheer on the athletes. | Source: Bass Photo Co Collection, Indiana Historical SocietyDownload Original File
