==History== The parallel bars (in German ''Barren'') were invented by [[Friedrich Ludwig Jahn]] in [[Berlin]].<ref>[http://www.gymmedia.com/ghent2001/appa/bars/history_ba.htm History of bars]</ref> In 1819 the first transportable parallel bars were described. In 1856, Hermann Otto Kluge used tubes to adjust the parallel and horizontal bars in Germany. He used them in his gym. In Tolstoy's ''[[Anna Karenina]]'', published between 1873 and 1877, their use for exercise is mentioned.
