Gerhard Uhlenbruck

Uhlenbruck’s family wasn’t supposed to know that their Gerd was running, because to them he was ill (sarcoidosis). So he chose Urbach’s GSV Porz, a slightly out-of-town club, as his club. He has completed 36 marathons and a 100km race, which he ran on his birthday. Twice he finished the 42.195km in the age group 70. His personal best of 3:18 hours is astonishing considering his lung history. Once (1984), he even became German Marathon Champion for cross-country doctors and pharmacists. He demonstrated athletic versatility by taking runner-up titles for cycling doctors, both in the road and time trial categories.

From Reader to Writer

“The aphorism condenses the quintessence of an experience into the sentence of an insight.”

During his hospital stay, Gerhard Uhlenbruck wanted to set himself a task to combat giving up, not only physically; he sought a challenge for body and mind. While he gained physical fitness with his “therapy of small steps,” he kept himself mentally fit with a “therapy of small sentences.” He began writing poems, exploring “life, love, and the love of life.” They were published in 1975 under the pseudonym Gerhard Günther (“Not Forever”).

Subsequently, he presented himself entirely as an aphorist. The number of his “rich fragments of thought” has risen astronomically over the decades. Whether medical aphorisms or sports aphorisms, with which he launched a new genre, Uhlenbruck was not only the most prolific writer of this genre, but also impressed with his quality and originality. “An insightful understanding of human nature emerges everywhere, which, despite all social criticism, does not result in cynicism or pessimism, but rather expresses hope for a better order of this fragile world” (Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Mieder).

Dozens of volumes of his aphorisms have been published since 1977, including “An Educated Sick Person,” “Blows to One’s Neighbor,” and “The Smarter One Doesn’t Give Up.” His flashes of inspiration, thought-provoking ideas, and observations can be found in satirical and specialist magazines, on calendar pages, and in illustrated books. H.-H. alone contains 1,000 volumes of aphorisms. Skupys’ “The Complete Handbook of Quotations from A to Z” (2004) included over 300 of his witty remarks. In recognition, the Narrenakademie (Fools’ Academy) in Dülken awarded him the title of “Dr. humoris causa” in 2001. The German Aphorism Archive in Hattingen elected him its honorary chairman. Finally, in 2017, he was awarded the Lehrer-Welsch Language Prize for Literature in Cologne.

Uhlenbruck also addressed running in countless aphorisms. It’s difficult to choose just one. “In the end, a marathon just drags on and on,” might particularly appeal to marathon runners. Running therapists might appreciate the following statements: “Running as therapy: What moves you internally can be processed through external movement.” “Running is psychotherapy without psychotherapists – with the help of your legs.” Or: “Running is the only therapy that costs nothing, except time! A one-person company like the AOK: Everything free of charge!”

Like running, for Uhlenbruck, laughter was medicine, a stress reliever, and an immune fitness booster. And because his interest in humor knew no bounds, he participated, whenever his time permitted, in an amateur drama group at the adult education center (VHS) and in the book project “Humor as Cologne Philosophy” (Cologne 2003). He also spoke perfect Cologne dialect.

Athletic Awards

Uhlenbruck began his athletic career in high school, first as a boxer, then as a runner. He was:

  • German Physicians’ Marathon Champion
  • German Physicians’ Cycling Runner-up (road race & time trial).

Citations of his Aphorisms (naturally in German):

  • Manche halten einen ausgefüllten Terminkalender für ein ausgefülltes Leben.
  • Zeitungsenten bringen die Leser zum Schnattern.
  • Die ungeschminkte Wahrheit bringt immer Farbe ins Gesicht.
  • Wenn man Spaß an einer Sache hat, dann nimmt man sie auch ernst.
  • Frisch gesagt ist halb gewonnen.
  • Wir sind alles Nichtsnutze, das heißt, wir tun nichts, was uns nichts nützt.
  • Neidhammel = Ehrgeizige Schafe.
  • Man empfindet es oft als ungerecht, daß Menschen, die Stroh im Kopf haben, auch noch Geld wie Heu besitzen.
  • Inzwischen wissen wir, was uns noch blüht – nämlich immer weniger!
  • Das wirklich Rührende an der Liebe ist der Kochlöffel.
  • Karrieristen = Leute, welche andere vor ihren Karren spannen.
  • Auf dem Gipfel des Erfolgs steht auch ein Kreuz: für die Leichen, über die man gegangen ist. (Als Betriebsrat/Sozialpolitiker/Manager wissen Sie, wovon ich rede. Von der Rücksichtslosigkeit. Vom Egoismus. Als Christ sage ich: Wer sich so verhält, kann kein Christ sein. Denn das Christentum kreist im Kern um den einen Satz, der da lautet: “Liebe deinen Nächsten wie dich selbst!”)
  • An Karneval maskiert man sich, damit man die Maske fallen lassen kann.
  • Unsere Leistungsgesellschaft ist nicht eine Gesellschaft, in der nur Leistung gilt, sondern eine, welche bestimmt, was Leistung ist und wer sie leisten darf.
  • Manches wäre anders in der Welt, wenn man an manchen Dingen nichts verdienen würde.
  • Fanatiker lassen sich schon aus Überzeugung nicht überzeugen.
  • Ehrgeiz schafft viel, sogar einen selbst.
  • Sein Pferdefuß bestand darin, daß er nicht beschlagen war.
  • Wir sind ein Volk der Denker, denn wir denken immer daran, was andere wohl von uns denken.
  • Eine Änderung des Bewußtseins verändert unbewußt auch das Sein.
  • Guter Rat ist teuer, schlechter Rat kann teuer zu stehen kommen.
  • Man muß sich dauernd beherrschen, um die Beherrschung nicht zu verlieren.
  • Das Geheimnis des Autos: Man ist in seinen eigenen vier Wänden.
  • Erst haben die Menschen das Atom gespalten, jetzt spaltet das Atom die Menschen.
  • Aller Anfang ist leicht – wenn man ihn mit dem Ende vergleicht.
  • Zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen sind “mit Abstand” die besten.

Detlef Fastré

Detlef Fastré enjoys being a doctor. But when the Cologne-based anesthesiologist isn’t on duty, he has another passion: cycling. He doesn’t just ride the ten kilometers to work on his racing bike. When he’s out and about on weekends, he sometimes covers 100 kilometers in a day. His favorite ride is in the Bergisches Land region. “Cycling is a wonderful counterbalance to his medical career,” he says. His workload at the anesthesiology practice where he works currently amounts to about 50 hours a week. “On my bike, I can relax mentally and stay physically fit at the same time.”

For Fastré, however, sport is also a social experience. And so, in 2002, he became a member of the “Cycling Association of German Doctors and Pharmacists” (RVDÄ). (now dissolved). The association had around 200 members. They all shared a passion for cycling. Fastré is a board member and serves as treasurer. The motivation for his commitment: the friendly contact with colleagues from other disciplines. The association organizes road bike and mountain bike tours and training events on medicine and cycling.

Fritz Baars

Fritz Baars is a cycling doctor. On his website, he reports extensively on the Cycling Association of German Doctors and Pharmacists.

As of January 1, 2013, I am now enjoying my professional retirement. It was initially a huge adjustment after a busy, interesting professional life. But now I finally have enough time for my hobbies! Active cycling played and continues to play an important role in that. Maintaining my website and compiling facts and information also requires a lot of time. And then, of course, there’s our bungalow with the surrounding garden, which demands my attention year-round. During the winter months, I sift through and sort through the vast amount of photos and film material that has accumulated over the years. Most of it can safely be disposed of. I edit short videos of the most interesting events, complete with music and text information. Since television programs are mostly boring and apparently only exist on repeat, we can instead watch beautiful memories of holidays, family celebrations, etc. from our stored archives.

Other interests include: history, music, travel, occasional fishing, and ornithology near our bungalow. Favorite music: oldies, rock. Favorite films: historical and nature films. Languages: colloquial English, school-aged Russian (a bit of Arabic from a year-long stay in Libya).

Membership: RVDÄ (Cycling Association of German Doctors and Pharmacists) until its dissolution, which has now sadly disbanded after more than 30 years of existence. (Reports in Deutschen Ärzteblatt)

I also enjoy dancing. My wife and I took several dance classes after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which we really enjoyed. Dancing, by the way, is a physically demanding activity. Our dance teacher at the time told us that elite dancers in competitive sports often score better in sports medicine performance tests than athletes in other strenuous disciplines.

Since we spend a lot of time in our bungalow from March to October, hobby ornithology naturally developed. From morning to night, you can hear birdsong everywhere and see a variety of birds on the lawn, in the trees, bushes, and in the air. We count around 50 species throughout the year. Rarer specimens also occur. In 2004, we observed a pair of green woodpeckers foraging for food on our lawn for about 10 minutes, in a spot where there were lots of ants.
