Nazi German Third Reich Nürnberg City of the Reichsparteitag Rallies Postcard – Zeppelin Field

Original period Third Reich postcard featuring a multi-view montage of Nürnberg (Nuremberg) and important sites associated with the Reichsparteitage (Reich Party Rallies).

The central printed inscription reads:

“Nürnberg – die Stadt der Reichsparteitage”

Translation:

“Nuremberg – the City of the Reich Party Rallies.”

The postcard contains numerous individual views of Nuremberg and the monumental architecture of the Nazi Party Rally Grounds. Visible subjects include:

• Kongresshalle (Congress Hall) – shown with a large swastika banner on the façade.
• Reichsadler / eagle monument at the rally grounds.
• Ehrenhalle / Luitpoldhain area, associated with the ceremonial rally grounds.
• Historic Nuremberg city-center views, including the Hauptmarkt area.
• Nassauer Haus, the well-known medieval tower house in Nuremberg.
• Egidienberg city view.
• Zeppelinfeld / EhrenTribüne – the grandstand complex designed for the enormous Nazi Party rallies.
• Zeppelinfeld shown decorated with numerous Third Reich flags.
• A large panoramic view of the monumental Zeppelin Field grandstand, flanked by Nuremberg coats of arms.

The card is particularly interesting because it combines traditional historic Nuremberg architecture with the newly constructed monumental rally grounds, reflecting how the city was presented during the Third Reich as both an old German imperial city and the official “City of the Reich Party Rallies.”

The reverse is unused and unmailed. Publisher information reads:

“Kunstverlag Georg Michel, Nürnberg-O.”

The card is also numbered Nr. 1073.

Condition is clearly aged and used from handling/storage, with visible surface crazing/creasing, scratches, edge and corner wear, discoloration and marks to the reverse. It remains intact and displays well considering its age. Please examine all photographs for exact condition.

An excellent original historical postcard for collectors of Nuremberg, Reich Party Rally, Zeppelin Field, Third Reich architecture, propaganda, German postal history and WWII-era ephemera.
