Basketball in Germany
Basketball is a popular sport in Germany and played on both amateur and professional levels. It has a long history; while its popularity developed slowly, today it is one of the most popular sports in Germany.
==Beginning==
Basketball was first introduced to Germany in 1896 by August Hermann, a physical education pioneer. Hermann's son Ernst had emigrated to Boston and introduced the game of basketball to his father. Originally, Hermann was searching for a sport for girls to play as an alternative to soccer. August held the first game in Germany in the city of Braunschweig where he was a well-known advocate and instructor of physical education and sports. Thereafter, he invented a number of sports and wrote rule books. He wrote the rule book for "Korball" (netball) that same year. He adopted the name Korball because at the time, American expressions and names were frowned upon. Hermann was a board member of the "Central Committee on Public and Youth Games in Germany" and in this capacity, he attempted to publicize the game of basketball for girls. Despite these efforts, basketball didn't take hold until several decades later. In 1921, basketball was included in the guidelines for physical education for girls, but only a few schools participated. Because of the lack of participation and lack of sport association affiliation, basketball had no significant following. Basketball developed very slowly.〔 Germany was one of the last countries in Europe to adopt basketball as a major sport.
