Scarce antique Arbeiter-Turn U. Sportbund membership badge for women. This organization grew out of class discrimination of working-class Germans being blocked from upper class sports organizations in the 1890s. After WWI the organization grew substantially and gained some power pushing for worker rights. It was absorbed into the Third Reich sports programs in the 1930s. Original item. Fired enamel emblem on gold washed bronze pin. Good condition.
