    Anyone Have Any Headgear by This Maker?

    I believe this was an actual maker during the war, and possibly after:

      Hallo Chris :

      Yes, Hutgeschaft MAX SEEBRECHT was a confirmed seller of military and civil hats. I've the address of Konigsplatz 42 in my records. Maybe, he managed more than a single seat in Kassel during that years

      Happy New Year

          Thanks to Mr. Pap's research, we have a pic of the original shop, probably about 1925:

                  Marcello--
                  This is on Ebay right now.
                  It seems "off" to me.


                  Do your references show an address at Konigstr. 51 in Kassel?

                    Awesome!

                    Myself, Turbo and Kurt were in Kassel last November!

                    But what happens in Kassel, stays in Kassel, know what I mean?

                    A little known fact is that Kassel was very much effected by the Damn Busters Raid in 1943. It was a central hub for materials heading for the Rhine.

                      Hallo Chris

                      Seebrecht address in 1901/1902 was in Garnisenkirche 1:
                      http://orka.bibliothek.uni-kassel.de.../418/LOG_0059/
                      http://orka.bibliothek.uni-kassel.de.../102/LOG_0033/

                      In 1916, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922 he was in Koenigsplatz 42:
                      http://orka.bibliothek.uni-kassel.de.../999/LOG_0124/

                      The same + U. Koenigsstr. 63 in 1923, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1932, 1933 and so on:
                      http://orka.bibliothek.uni-kassel.de.../535/LOG_0063/
                      http://orka.bibliothek.uni-kassel.de.../691/LOG_0078/

                      Consequently, I confirm you that Max Seebrecht (Hute, Mutze, Hutumpresserei) had its seat at the beginning of WW2 in Koenigsplatz 42, but also in untere Koenigsstr. 63 (same phone no. 21395) , as for the 1939 Kassel adressbuch:
                      http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/w/index....djvu&page=481
                      http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/w/index....djvu&page=706
                      http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/w/index....djvu&page=708
                      http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/w/index...djvu&page=1033

                      I have Koelnischestr. 3 and Kurfuerstenstr. 8 in 1949:
                      http://orka.bibliothek.uni-kassel.de.../288/LOG_0043/

                      Finally, I have a confirmation of the Obere Koenigsstr. 51 (in front of the Union Theatre) and also Kurfuerstenstr. 8 in 1950, 1951, 1953, and so on:
                      http://orka.bibliothek.uni-kassel.de.../306/LOG_0041/

                      and the last Wilhelmsstr. 10 in 1964:
                      http://orka.bibliothek.uni-kassel.de...1117/LOG_0089/

                      Therefore, I would be led to conclude that the visors with the address Obere Koenigsstrasse 51 are post-war. Tomorrow I will try to fill the gap between the year 1940 and the year 1948.

                      Best regards

                          Marcello, excellent work (as always!)--that confirms my suspicions.

                          Guys, just more proof that they fake even the most common of 'farbes.....

                            Perhaps, or he just moved around a lot.

                            "The city of Kassel, in the region of Hesse, in west-central Germany, was subjected to an ongoing bombing campaign that began in early 1942 and went on almost until the end of WWII in 1945. During the heaviest and most intense bombing raid, on the night of 22Ð23 October 1943, the British Royal Air Force deployed 569 bombers over Kassel’s city centre. The concentrated explosion of 1,800 tons of bombs – incendiaries among them – resulted in a lethal firestorm. At least 10,000 people died in the explosions and ensuing fires, and the flames were still burning seven days later. The city was targeted so vehemently largely because of its important military-industrial sites: the Fieseler aircraft plant, Henschel tank-making facilities, railway works and engine works were all based there. When the Americans liberated Kassel in April 1945, there were only 50,000 inhabitants; in 1939 there had been 236,000."

                              I hope to complete my analysis within hours.
