Oliver Briemle is now heading the sports badge in Unterallgäu-Memmingen!

A new wind blows in the Unterallgäu-Memmingen sports circle: Oliver Briemle has taken responsibility for the sports badge. He takes the place of Rudi Broda, who worked as a sports badge tester for over 60 years and has thus had an impressive career. Broda himself was a district officer for almost 45 years and for more than 20 years sports badge speaker for the Swabian district. The German sports badge experienced a boom under his aegis.

annually, more than a million people in Germany are releasing the German sports badge, which is awarded for outstanding physical achievements from the areas of endurance, strength, speed and coordination. Over 50 % of the participants can look forward to an award - a badge of honor from the Federal Republic of Germany, which is linked to the character. Last year, a total of 1,068 badges were acquired in the Unterallgäu-Memmingen sports district, including 387 in schools and 681 in sports clubs. This shows impressively how popular the sport is and that participation in this sporting competition not only is a challenge, but also is great fun!

the passion for sport

Oliver Briemle is not only a new speaker, but also a passionate athlete. Since his youth he has put the sports badge 52 times. He is currently department head of athletics at TSV Bad Wörishofen. For him it is clear: "There is something!", Because he would like to further expand the sports badge offer in clubs and schools. In addition to personal motivation, it is important to him to inspire young people for sport.

The BLSV sports group Unterallgäu-Memmingen, chaired by Benjamin Adelwarth, will support Briemles. Sports badges check the fitness and use in a variety of disciplines - an ideal framework to promote team spirit and fitness, and to enable access to sport for all age groups. Really strong what is being done in the region!

A look at the history of the sports badge

But how did the German sports badge actually come? It was originally introduced in Germany in 1912 and was based on a Swedish model. Initially, the award was only accessible to men, and women have also been allowed to acquire the DSA since 1921. Over time, the requirements were increasingly adapted and divided into different age groups in 1951. The 10-millionth sports badge was only awarded in 1984, and in 2008 the impressive turn came: The millionth limit of the annual sports badge was exceeded for the first time.

The German sports badge not only promotes physical exercise, but also supports clubs in making their offers attractive, gaining new members and emphasizing the diversity in their sports area. Clearing meetings help interested parties to prepare optimally for the sports badge.

In the future, Briemle will continue to drive his vision from the sports badge in the region, so that many other citizens have the opportunity to demonstrate their fitness and team spirit.

With Briemle at the top, the sports badge in the Unterallgäu-Memmingen will certainly remain a complete success. The sports spirit lives!
