HINDENBURG IN THE NEW GERMANY COMMEMORATIVE PHOTO BOOK 1934 |
This is a very nice low printing First Edition of Hindenburg im neuen Deutschland, a high-quality glossy paper hardcover book produced by Dr. Ewald Kimenkowski as a “monument of gratitude” to the popular German statesman Paul von Hindenburg. The book was published in 1934 soon after Hindenburg’s death.
The 7-1/2 x 10-½ inch, 152-page book starts with a frontispiece portrait of Hindenburg with a facsimile of his signature. This is followed by Reichspräsident von Hindenburg at the opening of Parliament in Potsdam on 21 March 1933, with Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring, Hindenburg addressing a German youth rally in Berlin on 1 May 1933 (the first 'Nazi' Day of Labor) and with Hitler and other dignitaries at the commemoration of Tannenberg Memorial in East Prussia on 23 August 1933.

The book ends with “Hindenburg’s Political Testament” followed by a chapter called “What Hindenburg was to us” by Dr. Otto Dietrich, Reichspressechef der NSDAP. The last picture is a rare image of Professor Josef Thorak working on Hindenburg’s death mask, shown below.
There is a picture of German citizens signing a condolence book, and recaps of how Hindenburg’s death was announced in the German press and abroad.
Hindenburg im neuen Deutschland is heavily illustrated with black & white pictures showing Hindenburg throughout his life, and with Adolf Hitler during the last year of his life. There is a fine etching of Hindenburg (“Our Frontline Soldier”) by Erich Heermann and many pictures of his memorial service and elaborate state funeral at Tannenberg.
