Competitive sport, state security and doping are the terms that dominated the public and scientific discussion about sport in the GDR for a long time. This work on mass sport breaks with the prevailing patterns of interpretation in several respects. On the one hand, with the area of ​​non-performance-oriented sport, it turns to a research field that is less well known to the public. On the other hand, with the application of the everyday historical approach of the "participatory dictatorship" according to Mary Fulbrook, it promotes a socio-historical opening of GDR sports.
