Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund fuer Leibesuebungen Award Certificate, Berliner Frauen-Sport Club

A folding award certificate issued by the Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund fuer Leibesuebungen, presented in recognition of a third-place result achieved in the javelin throw event, class III, at the Frauensportfest of the Berliner Frauen Sport Club held on 4 June 1939. The recipient is named as Froese, noted with the affiliation "Dt. Bank". The document bears a printed embossed seal of the Berliner Frauen-Sport-Club and a signature of the Vereinsfuehrer, along with a cord in the club's colors. The outer cover is of dark blue card stock with a blind-embossed eagle and swastika emblem within a wreath device, and the cord passes through the binding.

The Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund fuer Leibesuebungen (NSRL) was the umbrella sporting organization of the Third Reich, overseeing amateur and club-level athletics including women's sport clubs such as the one referenced here, which staged competitive track and field events for female members in Berlin during the late 1930s.

The Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund fuer Leibesuebungen (NSRL) was established in 1938 as the sole sanctioned sporting authority in Nazi Germany, absorbing independent clubs and federations to bring all athletic activity under party oversight and ideological direction. Women's sport clubs such as the Berliner Frauen-Sport-Club operated within this framework, holding organized athletics meetings like the Frauensportfest that combined competitive track and field with the regime's broader emphasis on physical fitness as civic duty. Such certificates typically recorded results at the local club level and named the athlete's employer or affiliation, as here with "Dt. Bank", reflecting the integration of workplace and social life into party-sanctioned recreational structures during the pre-war years.
