Picture Album from Residence of Hermann Göring (Item GOR 3-3) |
||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a personal picture album from the residence of Reichsmarshal Hermann Göring. He was supposed to have several of these, the purpose being a record of pictures that he could use to instruct his photographer as to which ones he would choose to use for the larger personal albums and, of course, for publication. The pictures are only 1 3/4 x 1 inch. There are 286 of these mini photos. Some have red 'x' marks. These marked thus could be the ones Göring liked best. None of these have ever been produced or displayed thus is this is a valuable archival treasure in its own right. The categories that these photo fall into are: The Richard Strauss celebration, a garden festivity by the State Theatre, a high-performance ball at the State Theater, and a house concert for the Minister-President. Under magnification it is possible to see how really good some of these pictures truly are and many state, SS, and military figures abound here at the invitation of Unser Hermann, Reichsmarschal des Deutschen Reichs. This is one of the more important Göring items that we have ever found and completely original. Album measures 9 ½ x 12 ½ inches and is in good condition except for a small stain or two on the cover. The photo content is of ultimate historical importance and should be protected for archival preservation.

Honorary Citizenship to Hermann Göring (Item GOR 3-4) |
||||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a fantastic Ehrenbürgerrecht, or honorary citizenship certificate to Hermann Göring from the city of Köln (Cologne). It is executed on sheepskin. It was presented in the second year of the National Socialist Regime on 22 June 1934 and is signed by the Oberburgermeister, High Mayor, of Köln. It was presented to Göring as the Reich's Minister for Air Travel and General of the Infantry and most importantly, Prussian Minister-President. The wording is beautiful throughout, both in calligraphy and meaning. They call him the "Freedom Fighter" and forerunner for the true German community. It states in red, "Conferred by the city of Köln in special thankfulness for your struggle against communism and separationists Das Ehrenbürgerrecht , honorary citizenship. The entire document reads like a poem from Schiller or Göthe. It is beautifully worded and artistically done. We don't believe a better one may exist other the one from Munich or Berlin. Take note that practically every little hamlet and dorf made up an Ehrenbürgerrecht to present to Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring, but this is from a major German metropolis and is much more desirable. Someday this may be a center of attraction in some museum in Cologne once the hatred of war subsides and the liberals are no more! This is a great remembrance to a human dynamo, a modern Falstaf, a man far ahead of his time, but also a hero of the WWI air war and the man second only to Hitler in the making and molding of the Third Reich and the modern German Air Force. This beautiful hand-carved frame is a masterpiece in itself. We first bought the document and later the frame came up for sale. So, they are now together. The intricate carvings on the frame are scenes of towers of castles in the Cologne area; typical Rhineland art done by a master of his craft. The beautiful frame with the document inside measures 30 x 38 inches, while the actual document measures 13 x 19 inches. The overall look is rather hard to capture through the glass, but is both beautiful and stunning. This may be one of the most historically important pieces ever offered concerning the Reichsmarschal of the German Reich. PRICE: SOLD |
