  • The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany
    The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany Gudrun DOLL-TEPPER, Prof.Dr. （Free University Berlin / German Olympic Sports Confederation） Introduction In 2006, the “German Sports Confederation” （Deutscher Sportbund） and the “National Olympic Committee for Germany” （Nationales Olympisches Komitee für Deutschland） merged, and the “German Olympic Sports Confederation”（Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund/DOSB） became the umbrella sport organisation in Germany. In this paper, the main goals of this merging process, some historical developments, as well as current structures and issues will be discussed with a focus on the relations between the DOSB and disability sport organisations, in particular the “German Disability Sport Organisation”（Deutscher Behindertensportverband）, which also serves as the “National Paralympic Committee Germany ” （Nationales Paralympisches Komitee）. Both organisations are working together in a variety of programmes and projects, e.g. in the preparation of bids to host Olympic and Paralympic Games. “Inclusion” has become a keyword for many initiatives in German sports, particularly regarding the implementation of the “UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities”, which entered into force in March 2009. 1. A look back: Sport developments in Germany after World War II After World War II Germany was divided into the “Federal Republic of Germany” （FRG, West Germany） and the “German Democratic Republic” （GDR, East Germany）. As a consequence, this division existed also in the newly established sport 1 Journal of Paralympic Research Group vol.5 organisations（see Deutscher Sportbund 1990）: the “National Olympic Committee for Germany”（NOK für Deutschland） was founded in 1949 and the “NOC for the GDR” followed in 1951.
