Torsten Körner & Bärbel Wohlleben: Wie Frauen zum Fußball fanden

In the organizer's words:

"Women's soccer, men's soccer - it's one soccer". Lena Oberdorf, one of the country's most famous female players, said this in 2022 and was promptly honored for her words. Even today, women still seem to have to justify their ability to shoot the ball into the corner. Bärbel Wohlleben already proved that they can do this when she put the ball in the net from 25 meters in the 1974 German Championship final. This made her the first "Goal of the Month" scorer - just four years after women were officially allowed to kick the ball for the first time. In his new book Wir waren Heldinnen (We Were Heroines), Torsten Körner explains how women like Wohlleben fought for their place in Germany and the DFB. The author and documentary filmmaker(Die Unbeugsamen, Schwarze Adler) is known for his thorough research and knows how to tell the socio-political story(s) of soccer and women. Now he has combined the two. Salon host Mariel Reichard asks Grimme Award winner Körner and soccer pioneer Wohlleben about heroines, the system and connections.
