German-born Max Rascher moved to the United States and settled in Passaic, New Jersey, where he would spend the rest of his life sharing his passion for the Turner gymnastics movement. The highlight of his career was probably his appearance at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, where he represented the Passaic Turnverein that finished 10th in the team all-around. Individually, he was 56th in apparatus work, 75th in the all-around, and 94th in field sports. After the Games he continued to practice his sport and compete for many years in both the United States and Germany, at least into his 40s, and he also founded Turners Hall in Passaic. By career he was a supervisor at Gera Mills, site of the famous 1926-1927 Passaic Textile Strike.
