Description

Morphologie

The cave is smaller today than at that time, as part of it was destroyed when the Saale was widened.

Autres détails

The formation of the cave is due to weathering processes and the action of seepage water along rock joints in the porphyry found here.

In the year 1878 a memorial plaque with a portrait of Jahn was placed above the cave. It also bears, in the form of a cross, the four Turner Fs, which stand for “frisch, fromm, fröhlich, frei” (fresh, pious, cheerful, free), the early motto of German gymnasts. In the monument register of the city of Halle, the bronze plaque is recorded as a small monument under the registration number 094 97035.

Histoire

The cave takes its name from Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, later known as Turnvater Jahn (father of gymnastics). During his student years in Halle (1796–1800), Jahn hid here for several days from other students – probably from student fraternities. In the cave, Jahn wrote one of his first writings, “Über die Beförderung des Patriotismus im Preußischen Reiche”. After the Prussian defeat in the Battle of Jena and Auerstedt, Jahn was among the defenders of Halle. That he afterwards hid in the cave from the French troops is a legend and is not confirmed.
