Honour Table of Old Party Members'

[wessel]

I'm putting this in this section rather than the 'Photographic' one as I think it will appeal to many Political guys!
It is a tableau, 16'x12', under glass, of about 150 passport-style photos of Early Party Members from the Heidelberg-Handschuhsheim area, dated April 1928. The glass looks to be orignal as it is edged with the original backing paper.
A good selection of early Party/SS/SA insignia, but also a Luftwaffe Officer and an Army Officer, so clearly their photos are post-1938 (??). Next to the Army Officer (bottom row) is an SA Gruppenfuhrer 'G. Baum.'
The portrait at the top (the senior?) unfortunately is slightly torn but the name seems to be 'Gourecht,', and the none to the left is 'G.H. Senz' and to the right 'K. Grupp+' (Deceased?).
Also, on the back is part of a newspaper with a photo of Dr. Goebbels with his daughters, but undated.
Any info on this would be much appreciated.

The date below the location is not the date of the photos. It is the date of the founding (gegr.=gegründet) of the party group of Heidelberg-Handschusheim. It was an Ortsgruppe?

Wessel: My guess is the photos are quite "early" photos, most are from before 1936 or about.

A Ortsgruppe founded only in April of 1928 wasn't an early one. The pictures are probably of those who joined before January 30, 1933.

Thank you for your comments.

Hello,
well I am from this area:-) and I got also 2 of those tables, the fist one is from the NSDAP Ortsgruppe Neulussheim and the second from the HJ of Hockenheim.
The style is always the same, background ect. It seems it was a layout used widly. I was told by an son of an person on the board, that all the pictures were taken from pictures which were normally taken and from the SA Hj Ausweis.
I have pictures full and then a cut and put inthe table. Also I have seen them for sale regulary for about 40euros framed.
I will upload them the next days since I am now at work.
Regards from Germay
