Third Reich Hippie/Bohemian?

[BlackWatch1]

Any ideas on this man?

[byterock]

Hmm tzigane perhaps.

[wilhelm Saris]

One from the Islamic State who travelled in time (back), haha?

Byterock you might be right. Anyway a gipsy!

Wandervogel

Hmm tzigane perhaps.

I wonder if he ended up in a camp?

Someone had a photo of German soldiers drinking and dancing with some very hot Romas, one pic shows her exposing a pretty nice rack. I'll see if I can find them.

That would be awesome!

Genua

Wandervogel

This is my impression as well.

[Michael Fay]

if he is a remnant of the Wandervogel movement then his darker complexion may not denote Sinti /Roma Gypsy ethnicity but instead simply be an intense sun tan as sun bathing in the nude and actually worshipping the sun in the summer was a major part of the old Wandervogel.

Also the musical instrument case fits with Wandervogel as the playing of instruments was typical during hikes and travels.

Finally, the longer hair and beard is , of course, an aspect of Wandervogel attributes.

Hello

Are you able to definitely date this image? The women's fashion suggests mid to late 1920s to my eye, which would be pre- Third Reich era. Maybe very early 30s?

Otherwise generally agree with Micheal's more thorough analysis of the Wandervogel theory. The central subject does not look like a Roma (Gyspy).

Regards

Photo is not dated on it's reverse so it's age, early Thirties, was a guess on my part

Was wondering if it came in a lot of other pictures or perhaps from a photo album, which might provide some clues to the date or context.

Looks like they are all posing with the central figure for a photo, who was possibly riding through on his bike. Wandervogel still makes for the best theory, in my opinion.
