Scowen Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 A nice ribbon you have there Robert. I'm sure that you are already aware, but for other members who do not know, Martin Luther was a priest & professor of theology, who was born in 1483. He also wrote a great deal on anti semitism The Volksmissionarischen Bewegung were big on Martin Luther's preachings, here are some items you may like to see.....

Scowen Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The badges in detail, I think that you will find the reverses very interesing........ I've lightened the colour etc to the reverse of the larger pin to try & show these details.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Finally, there was also a tinnie which was totally devoid of any Swastikas either to the obverse or reverse. This was slightly larger than the bigger member ship badge. Here's a pic of the three together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURGERHAUS Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yes Don I absolutely want to see these. Hitler's rise in 1933 to co-ordinate with Martin Luther's 450 birthday. A great way to bring the Lutherans into the fold. The fact that the years are on the reverse shows such importance. I don't recall what year the Concordat with the Vatican was reached but to achieve Weltnauchung (sp?) with the Lutherans is something. Wre they not the majority religion in Germany at that time? Thanks again. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missio Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I am beginning to write a journal article on the tinnies associated with Martin Luther in the first half of the 20th century. These posting about this are very informative. Any help in cataloguing the dozens of tinnies portraying Martin Luther and his Luther-rose would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
