This hardcover book was bound in Germany for a magazine subscriber or library and as is nearly always done in Germany, the covers of the individual magazines are removed and they are bound in consecutive order in book form.

Most people with an interest in the German Third Reich are familiar with the magazine Die Kunst im Dritten Reich (the name was changed to Die Kunst im Deutschen Reich in 1939) but almost none have ever seen even one of the first six issues.
The first six issues of Die Kunst im Dritten Reich were considerably smaller than those published from July 1937 onward. They measure 8-1/4 x 11-1/4 inches and contain 32 pages of articles and many full-page illustrations.

The magazine eventually became THE national art magazine in Hitler’s Germany, but the first issues were sponsored by Gauleiter Adolf Wagner and published by Professor Klein, architect Albert Speer and Professor Leonhard Gall at the Nazi Party’s Central Publishing House, Franz Eher Nachfolger in München (Munich).

These January through June 1937 issues of Die Kunst im Dritten Reich contain articles on Professor Klein and Professor Leonhard Gall, Professor Hans Schweitzer-Mjölnir, Ordensburg Vogelsang, the work of Professor Clemens Klotz, the Hindenburg Memorial at Tannenberg and uncountable images:

a Führer bust by Professor Klein, the Eternal Guard at the Honor Temple of Party Martyrs on the Königsplatz in Munich, the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, the Haupttribune at the Nazi Party Day Grounds in Nürnberg, interiors of the Reichskanzlei in Berlin, Wackerle sculptures, a Schmid-Ehmen eagle, views of the Reichsautobahn, a tapestry in a Luftwaffe Kasino, a painting of Hermann Göring in his Luftwaffe uniform by Conrad Hommel, bronzes from the Berghof, medals by the renowned Professor Richard Klein, the Führerbau, Braunes Haus, House of German Art and Ehrentempel in Munich, the fountains and gardens at the Münchener Stadtpark, as well as pictures of pottery, glassware, furniture, tapestries, baskets, house designs, and so on.

The last page in this 8-1/2 x 11 inch hardbound book has the very interesting announcement from the publisher, that the Führer himself had decided that the magazine Die Kunst im Dritten Reich in the future would be published in a larger format.
So the July 1937 issue of Die Kunst im Dritten Reich would be much larger (11 x 14 inch), and it would also be a special House of German Art edition.

Very rare and in very good condition.
