Publisher Description

To overcome degeneration the German Regeneration-Physical Culture movement called for a revival of the body in an over-intellectual German Kultur. Programs of "rational self-cultivation" and exposure of the body to fresh air and sunlight would effect a return to health and the resurrection of a long-dormant Germanic racial type. Essentially a program of positive, non-coercive racial hygiene, the movement emphasized strength and beauty as the qualities sought in regenerate Germans. Degeneration--Regeneration
