Adolf Koch

'Stadtbad Mitte', a celebrated public bathing facility in central Berlin, first opened its doors in 1930. It also hosted organised nude swimming sessions as part of the ''Freikörperkultur'' (free body culture) social movement. The hall ceased operations as a swimming venue in 2001 (photo taken in 1953). Adolf Karl Hubert Koch (9 April 1897, in Berlin – 2 July 1970) was a German educationalist, health professional, and sports teacher, best known for founding a progressive physical education movement during the Weimar Germany period that emphasised natural movement and physical freedom. A prominent advocate of (free body culture), a social movement in Germany that gained prominence in the early 20th century and promoted nudity to foster health and body positivity, Koch's work was also integral to the broader movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which aimed to renew society through a return to nature, simplicity, and holistic well-being.
