NAZI FESTIVAL BOOK - MUNICH EXPANSION

A SCARCE NAZI
COMMEMORATIVE BOOK
PUBLISHED FOR THE
FESTIVAL OF THE EXPANSION
OF MUNICH IN DECEMBER 1938

This is a wonderful example of the rare 8-7/8 x 12 inch, 48 page, very heavily illustrated soft cover book ,,Festschrift anlässlich der Eingemeindung von Obermenzing, Untermenzing, Allach, Ludwigsfeld, Solln am 1. Dezember 1938’’ (Memorial Book Covering the Annexation of the Towns of Obermenzing, Untermenzing, Allach, Ludwigsfeld, Solln on 1 December 1938).

Under the Nazis in Third Reich Germany the city of München (Munich) underwent vast renovations and expansions. München was known as die Hauptstadt der Bewegung or the Capital of the Nazi Movement, and enormous sums were spent to make it one of the most beautiful cities in all of Grossdeutschland. The old north-side airport Oberwiesenfeld was considered too small and too dangerous and a huge new airport was built at Riem. The Führerbau and the NSDAP Verwaltungsbau took their place on the Königsplatz along with much older structures.

This book with its beautifully embossed gold and black cover was issued to commemorate the events associated with the expansion of the city of Munich to include the suburban towns of Obermenzing, Untermenzing, Ludwigsfeld, Solln and Allach on the west and south side.

The book contains a foreword by Reichsleiter Karl Fiehler and a historical perspective by Bürgermeister Dr. Temple. That is followed by a certificate stating that Adolf Hitler was an honorary citizen of Obermenzing, Allach and Solln.

There follows information about the size and population expansion for Munich as a result of annexations (incorporations), color and black & white pictures of some of the area incorporated and photographs of Nazi Officials in charge of the civil governments.

There is even a photograph of Adolf Hitler and Frau-Direktor Hermine Hoffmann of Solln who was given the honor title ,,Hitler-Mutter’’. She was a very early member of the NSDAP (December 1919) and the the founder of NSDAP Ortsgruppe Solln and NSDAP - Frauenschaft Oberbayern.

The industries of the various annexed towns are discussed including the railroad engine factory of Krauss-Maffei and the SS-Porzellanmanufaktur (Porcelain Factory) in Allach.

A wonderful, rare book in very good condition with a very strong graphic on the cover.

This 1938 expansion of Munich book is **SOLD**.
