ORIGINAL NAZI PUTSCH EDITIONS FROM MUNICH! |
||
The front page of the Friday 9 November 1923 edition of Münchner Neueste Nachrichten (shown left) has an in-depth report on what happened at the Bürgerbräukeller the night before, noting who spoke, and printing portions of the speeches by Von Kahr, Adolf Hitler, General Ludendorff, and Hermann Goering.
Be sure to notice in the upper left corner of page 1 that the original newsstand price for each of the weekday editions of the Münchner Neueste Nachrichten was an amazing ten BILLION Marks and that the Sunday paper was newsstand prices at an incredible 15 BILLION Marks.
The Saturday 10 November 1923 edition of Münchner Neueste Nachrichten (shown left) explains exactly what led up to the failed Putsch. Negotiations between politicians and military leaders the week prior to 8 November, promised Nazi cooperation and then Adolf Hitlers Ehrenwortbruch or “Hitler’s breach of promise”, according to the headline on the front page of this edition of Münchner Neueste Nachrichten. With deadly force, the Hitlerputsch was ended by police and a list of the casualties at the Feldherrnhalle on the Odeonsplatz in Munich is printed in the upper right corner of the front page. Below that the announcement that General Ludendorff was arrested and later released after his word of honor not to support the Bewegung any further.
The death notices published in the 11 November 1923 edition of the Münchner Neueste Nachrichten (shown left) include one placed by the the Munich Police for four members of the Landespolizei München who died while performing their duty ending the Hitler Putsch. One of the casualties was a Polizei-Hauptmann, one an Oberwachtmeister and two Unterwachtmeister and all are praised for their exemplary competence and proven loyalty.
The 10 November 1923 edition of Münchner Neueste Nachrichten also has eyewitness reports of people who saw the bloody end of the Putsch next to the Feldherrnhalle in Munich, and a list of the wounded (Hauptmann Hermann Göring is at the top). Page 5 (shown below) and 6 have a recap of the happenings of 8 and 9 November leading to the eventual retreat of the Hitlerleute (Hitler People).
Following Hitler's rise to power in 1933, the Münchner Neueste Nachrichten was taken over by the Nazi Party. In October 1935, the Knorr & Hirth publishing company was acquired by the Central Publishing House of the Nazi Party, Franz-Eher-Verlag.
Franz-Eher-Verlag and Knorr & Hirth were banned by the Allies after World War II, and the State of Bavaria acquired their assets. In the 1950s, Knorr & Hirth was re-established and continues to publish books to this day.
As rare, historical Third Reich associated German newspaper go, these three rare nearly 98 year old originals are as good as it gets! Nothing else even comes close, and we are not aware of another set of 1923 originals available anywhere at any price. The fact that these were laminated when found in Munich about three decades ago, is the only reason they survived, and that they will survive indefinitely in the hands of the next owner. They are extremely rare.

Right next to the death notice for the policemen are two for Theodor Casella, a World War I veteran and a Nazi member of the Freikorps who died as a result of injuries sustained during the attempt to occupy the Munich military district command, an effort led by Ernst Röhm. The death notice was placed by Theodor Casella’s widow Frau Major Casella, who wrote that her husband died a victim of his love for the Fatherland and his faith in a better future.
The second death notice for Theodor Casella and Wilhelm Ehrlich, was placed by their employer Tyrella, Zimmermann & Co. Adolf Hitler dedicated the first volume of Mein Kampf to Casella, Ehrlich and 14 other Nazi martyrs and Putsch participants that died and they were named in the foreword. Casella’s coffin was on display in a bronze crypt along with those of the other martyrs in the Nazi Ehrentempel next to Hitler’s office on the Köningsplatz during the Third Reich.

The front page of the Sunday 11 November 1923 edition of the Münchner Neueste Nachrichten carries the press conference of Generalstaatskommissar von Kahr that took place on Saturday afternoon. It is Von Kahr’s explanation of the events of 8 and 9 November, highlighting the disloyal behavior of Adolf Hitler and his Kampfbund and praising Kahr’s loyal colleagues, political leaders General von Lossow and Colonel von Seisser.

| The Münchner Neueste Nachrichten (Munich’s Latest News) was the largest Bavarian daily newspaper, published by Knorr & Hirth of Munich since 1847. In November 1923 it was considered a conservative, right-leaning publication which favored the government of Gustav Ritter von Kahr, the Prime Minister of Bavaria. Von Kahr was in the middle of a speech at the Bürgerbräukeller in Munich on the evening of 8 November 1923 which was interrupted by Hitler and his armed Nazi followers resulting in the name, the “Beer Hall Putsch”. Von Kahr was instrumental in the collapse and suppression of Hitler’s attempt to take over power and his name appears frequently in the three rare newspapers we offer on this USMBOOKS web page. |
The three incredibly historic original editions of Münchner Neueste Nachrichten are dated Friday 9 November 1923, Saturday 10 November 1923 and Sunday 11 November 1923. The 15-½ x 20-½ inch newspapers have a total of 34 laminated pages. All three of these ultra-rare original November 1923 newspapers were very carefully professionally laminated to preserve them and have only a very few small flaws under the lamination along the original old folds. |
