The Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund für Leibesübungen (NSRL or National Socialist Gymnastics Association) was responsible in Third Reich Germany for the administration and recording of the performance achieved in gymnastics by its members. It was called the DRL before 1938 (Deutscher Reichsbund für Leibesübungen or German Gymnastics Association). As those members achieved higher levels of performance they were awarded various badges and Urkunde (diplomas).

This Ehren-Urkunde was awarded to a NSRL member called Albrecht of the Sport Club Arolsen for the Third Place in the 200 meter run during the 11 June 1939 Kreismeisterschaften (District Championships) in Korbach, one of the most southern Hanseatic cities in Germany.

The red cover has a NSRL eagle and swastika on it, and a twisted black, red and white cord holds the beautifully printed cream colored insert in place inside the 4-1/8 x 6 inch cover. Note the Adolf Hitler quote about the importance of competition and battle in the upper right corner of this nice 82 year old Nazi sport award.

Absolutely original to the Third Reich period in Germany and in very good condition, exactly as shown.
