Urkunde made in Holland maker number?

[patrick h]

I got this Urkunde from a member of Pz.Aufklarungs Abteilung 115. Now the Urkunde bears a K- number (K 1635) from company Heidelberger Gutenberg Druckerei, which also had a company in The Hague Holland. So could this one be printed in Holland?

Even during WW2 the Heidelberger Gutenberg Druckerei had their headquarter in Heidelberg. But if they did install a branch in Holland it could be possible.

But I can not very that there was a branch of the company in Holland XI/1944 - the date of the print.

Thanks for your answer. Did the Germans use K- numbers as well? In Holland all printed papers had to bear a K (Ken) number.

Here a link from Druckerei in Den Haag ( The Hague).

Pz.Aufklarungs Abteilung 115 was in the beginning of 1945 in Holland...

Just checked one of my docs (a CCC) printed in Oslo and it follows the same format as yours only with Oslo after gmbh but without the K in front of the number.

That's interesting, you have a pic of it?

Found out the company opened at 27 februari 1941 in Oslo as well!

So does anybody know if the germans used K- numbers as well for papers and books?

[Gerdan]

In printed books in Germany I never found the letter " K " in context with the printing company.
