Sports moves! In the literal as well as in the figurative sense. It is a topic that can cause cheers as well as boos, dividing people into fans and deniers. But whether joy or sorrow: sports evoke emotions. The exhibition showcases the past and present of sports in the city and district of Celle.

The history of sports in Celle begins early: in 1834, the first horse race in the Kingdom of Hanover takes place here. The German gymnastics movement, which begins in the early 19th century with the work of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn and is initially banned, experiences a rapid upswing from 1842. Gymnastics also finds followers in Celle: MTV Celle is one of three clubs in Lower Saxony founded before the revolutionary year of 1848. The first gymnastics classes took place in 1847 at Mühlenmasch. Around the turn of the century, new sports such as tennis, cycling, and football gained followers in the region.

Elite sports, made in Celle: Many athletes from the city and district have represented and continue to represent the global elite. They are honored in a “Hall of Fame” in the exhibition. Special loan items, interviews, and photographs attest to the region's sporting excellence.

A large part of the exhibition is dedicated to amateur sports. Currently, over 200 clubs are members of the Kreissportbund Celle e.V., offering a wide range of activities from American football to Zumba. The exhibition introduces sports and clubs, showcasing the most exciting, beautiful, and extraordinary sports stories of the region. It tells of international successes, special friendships on the field, but also of defeats and the darker sides of sports.

Interactive and media stations challenge all the senses of visitors, stimulate interest in physical activity, help find the ideal sport, inquire about the best sports excuses, and give athletes a voice.
