Where is this?

Picked up this Hoffmann photo recently. Anyone recognize the location?

Given that the AH photo looks to be inscribed and signed, I’m less inclined to think it’s an AH residence...

Thanks for your help!

Hi Chris, not too sure where the locale is, but wanted to stop by and say I've never seen this Hoffmann photograph before. Thanks for sharing it!!

The location doesn't look familiar to me, Chris, though since there is a framed AH photo of the style Hitler used to present to notables on their birthdays or other occasions, prominently displayed on the table, I would assume that this photo was taken at the home of one of the Nazi leadership -- Hitler wouldn't have personalized that photo to himself! Was this a published photo bearing Hoffmann's mark? If so, then it should have a caption describing where it was taken, on the back.

I'm not sure what to make of the content of this photo, either. It looks like someone put together a display in their dining room of notable paintings and other valuable possessions, perhaps at Christmas or for a birthday? It doesn't appear to be a post-war photo...nor would it be, if taken by Hoffmann Studios!!

Thanks for sharing this with us!

I agree, I think it’s a high leadership home.

The reverse just has the Hoffmann Munich studio stamp, with no location specified.

Definitely looks like an occasion: maybe a birthday or Christmas.

Intriguing...
