Day of Movement: sport and fun at ATB

The ATB winners of this year's CITY CYCLING campaign proudly hold their internally awarded ATB challenge cup: C. Weltzien, 3rd place, F. Seifert, 2nd place, R. Wruck standing in for U. Seifert, 1st place (from left to right).

The HIIT (high-intensity interval training) programme made our colleagues work up a good sweat.

Platform pulling instead of tractor pulling: many colleagues rose to the challenge. This included our directors Alice Hohn and Barbara Sturm, who, together with Tim Römer (University of Osnabrück) from our joint AI & DS Joint Lab, mobilised all their forces.

Self-defence: Mixed training in the morning, women's training in the afternoon. Peter Unger passed on his many years of experience and raised awareness of this important topic.

Off to the pitch. Our football team used the sunny day for an intensive training session with lots of fun kicking the ball around.

In full costume - The joy of movement was at the forefront of Lithuanian folk dancing.

Route planning: Shortly before the start, our runners finalised their route together.

At this year's ATB Day of Movement on 16 October 2024, our employees showed that they not only perform at their best in the laboratory, in the field or in the office, but also in sport and dance. With a wide range of activities from Lithuanian folk dance to energetic HIIT training to football, there was something for everyone. And who would have thought that it takes not just two, but four colleagues to pull a sensor platform – in the style of the well-known tractor pulling?

On the move together

The Day of Movement brought together colleagues from all departments to sweat and mobilise together. At the joint opening, Alice Hohn, administrative director of the ATB, started the day and introduced the various courses and course instructors – all of whom are ATB employees:

  • Football
  • HIIT (high-intensity interval training)
  • Running group
  • Lithuanian folk dance
  • Self-defence
  • Platform Pulling
  • Stretching


A special highlight in the morning was the award ceremony for the ATB winners of this year's CITY CYCLING campaign, which took place from 9 - 29 September 2024 in Potsdam and the surrounding area. The ATB took part with a team of 23 active cyclists and ranked 29th out of 177 in the overall ranking of the state capital Potsdam with 6432 km on the bike. 
The top three in the ATB team ranking impressed with their performances on the bike and received the respective Challenge Cup from last year's winners. Our colleague Ulrike Seifert once again took the lead with an impressive 800 kilometres – an achievement that deserves the utmost respect. The second and third places also achieved over 600 kilometres each. By the way, all three winners rode purely on muscle power. Congratulations!

Well-being in everyday working life 

"With the Day of Movement, our institute is emphasising how important the health and well-being of our employees is to us. Movement is an important factor for a balanced interaction and contributes to more energy and concentration in everyday working life. I am delighted about the high level of participation and hope that we will be able to put together such a varied programme again next year", says Alice Hohn. "We would like to thank all the course instructors for their enthusiasm and commitment. A very special thanks also goes to the organisers, including two young people completing their voluntary social year".

We are already looking forward to the next ATB Day of Movement and many more sporting activities.
