It argued that the human body was not inherently sinful or sexual, but a natural part of the environment to be celebrated and cared for.
Historians argue that FKK was the GDR’s true "national sport." For many East Germans, stripping off was a way to shed the uniform of the socialist worker and reclaim individuality. Sonnenfreunde provided the theoretical backbone for this lifestyle, running articles on the benefits of Vitamin D, the proper way to sunbathe to avoid burns, and the philosophy of body acceptance.
