Ref: 20.11.1938 - 4/28 Healthy Living Happy Work 'Gesundes Leben Frohes Schaffen' Ausstellung Gesundes Leben Frohes Schaffen Berlin 24th September - 6th November 1938 The image motif comes from the exhibition poster, which was designed by the brothers Hannes and Hein Neuner. In the foreground you can see a beaming woman in a white sports shirt. She leans against an ideally depicted worker who wears a short-sleeved blue shirt and a hammer on his shoulder. Both stand back to back and look up at the blue sky. The DHM took part in the national exhibition 'Healthy Living - Happy Work' in Berlin (24th September to 6th November, 1938) and formed the scientific core groups. The most famous objects from the museum workshops are the Glass Factory, the Poison Man, the Accident Carousel and the special group: Know Yourself! The traveling exhibition 'Health in Everyday Life' emerged from the core groups and was shown from 1939 to 1941. From the Deutsche Hygiene Museum Hannes Nueuner From Olympedia.org Hans Ferdinand 'Hannes' Neuner submitted a design for the lifestyle magazine Die Neue Linie (The New Line) for the 1936 Berlin Olympics in the Art Competitions, in the paintings category. Subsequently, his brother Hein (1910-1984) was also involved in the design of the magazine. This was the first German lifestyle magazine, published from 1929-43, and at that time a unique project. It contained articles about lifestyle, fashion, and literature, as well as trends in travel, art, and architecture, especially from the Bauhaus point of view. It was mainly produced for the fashion-conscious and intellectual elite, especially women. The Nazis used this magazine for propaganda to influence the population. The cover of issue 12 from August 1936 shows a hand with a laurel wreath, an antique Hoplitodromos runner, and Doric columns. According to the imprint, the color offset print in the format 36.8 x 26.7 cm was made by Hans Ferdinand and Hein Neuner. Neuner studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt and later at the Frankfurt Academy. In 1943 he had to leave Berlin, as his home was bombed out, and returned to his parents in Aschaffenburg. In 1946 he turned back to free artistic creations in the old mill stream near the village of Obernaus. In 1949 Neuner joined the faculty of the National School of Arts and Crafts in Saarbrücken, where he and his wife Eve (1914-1979) became members of the “New Saar Group.” In 1953, Neuner was named professor at the Stuttgart Academy of Fine Arts and was a successful teacher until his retirement in 1969. His son Burkard became a visual artist specializing in concrete and glass work. Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

20th November 1937 20th November 1937 1/0 20th November 1937 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Thank you very much for the film papers. I enjoyed studying them very much. They arrived just in the right moment. As I was laying in bed with a bad cold and felt bored with everything. The others all went out to the shooting. And I felt angry with everything. But these magazines helped me to do away with the rest of that dull afternoon. Now I am up again and run about. Although my nose is still full and I have a cough. But at a certain time of the year everybody must go through colds. Mary D’Arcy is just now laying in bed with a cold, but she will get up for lunch. We shall be very lonely when she goes next Monday. We had a marvellous time during the shootings, the castle full of guests and during the shootings we went out and watched them. Deidi and her husband are here since the 30th October, but I am very sorry they are leaving 22nd November. They are going back over Paris again. Lucky Deidi to travel and see so much of the world. Her husband is great fun. We play ping-pong with him after every meal. He might grow too fat!!! While Deidi is thin and pale. But they are very happy and very much in love. The best film I saw was Camille. But I didn’t like Greta Garbo very much. It was the first time I saw her. In the last scene where Camille is dying, her acting was very good. I’m not very fond of Robert Taylor, he is too sweet and weak. Yesterday was Mammi’s feast and we had a gypsy band who played during lunch. I love the Hungarian music. Do you ever listen to radio Budapest. They generally have gypsy’s playing at 5 or 6 o’clock in the evening. Did you ever hear “There is but one beautiful girl in the world”, which is recited Baroness Orczi’s “Pimpernel and Rosemary”. Do read the book too. It is very true. I often hear people tell me the same stories which happen to all Hungarians living in Roumania. There is another Hungarian song I love extremely, it is called Gloomy Sunday. I found the English text in an English paper. It runs like this. “Sunday is gloomy My hours are slumberless Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers will never awaken you Where the black coach of sorrow has taken you Angels don’t think of ever returning you Would they be angry if I thought of joining you Gloomy Sunday” It is rather sad, and I must warn you not to listen too much to it. There are a great many people who committed suicide in listening to it. So beware! I hope you don’t think that I have gone quite mad by reciting all sorts of poetry. But I really don’t know what to do. Did I ever write to you about the place we are living? It has got rather a long history and a ghost haunting and so on. But nobody did meet the ghost yet. I shall write all about it in my next letter. But that won’t come until I get a nice and long letter of you. Writing letters, reading and knitting is my pastime here. It is a shame I don’t receive as many letters as I write. Good-bye for today and I do hope to have a letter of you very very soon. Much love Loll Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page
