German coaching legend Roselore Sonntag has passed away!

 It is with great sadness that German sport must bid farewell to one of the best gymnasts of the 1950's and 1960's, Roselore SONNTAG-Stoebe, who passed away peacefully March 30 in a retirement home in Doebeln Saxony / GER at the age of 91. After her active time as an Olympian (1960 in Rome), World Championship participant and 10-time GDR German champion of the former GDR, she went on to have an impressive and exemplary coaching career as one of the co-founders and creators of the famous ‘Leipzig Gymnastics School’. Her home town of Geringswalde in Saxony has created a lasting monument to her by naming the sports hall ‘Sporthalle Roselore Sonntag’.
* Her 90^th birthday at the beginning of February 2024 was an occasion to honour the extraordinary life's work and international reputation of this outstanding German coach in detail!
