Gertrude Krombholz (born 1933)

After her dance training at home and abroad, including with Paul Krebs in Nuremberg, Krombholz worked from 1962 as a lecturer in dance in sports teacher training and in recreational groups with students, children, young people, senior citizens and the disabled. At the TUM Munich, she headed the departments of gymnastics, dance and movement from 1973 and later became director of sports teacher training. Using historical sources, she reconstructed Moriscan dances in 1976 and founded the group “Munich Moriscan Dancers”. Her collection, which is significant in terms of dance education, contains materials on the subjects of sport and dance, dance in schools, Moriscos and wheelchair dance.
