Description: SCARCE 1909 GERMAN TURNFEST Award Medal Cincinnati 30stes Turner Bund Pin Discus. Fantastic shape with original ribbon 5 x 2.25” Below is some info for turnfest: Turner festivals became quadrennial gatherings. Cincinnati hosted the national competition in 1909 from June 19 to 27, nearly turning the entire city into a German village for the celebration. The chairman was August “Garry” Herrmann, a Cincinnati German American beloved by the local citizens. Herrmann was a longtime city administrator, a political henchman of Boss George B. Cox. In 1902, Herrmann became a co-owner and president of the Cincinnati Reds, and over the next two decades was arguably the most powerful man in American sports. He chaired Organized Baseball’s National Commission, negotiated the beginning of the modern World Series, experimented with night baseball, was a national leader in the American Bowling Congress, and even had a racehorse named after him.
