Hello folks, so many badges have already been published here, but today I would like to introduce you to a badge that is almost impossible to find anymore. It is the badge of the 1st BDM meeting in Plauen in 1933. The design of this badge is similar to a North German badge that can be found here in the forum. At the same time - possibly even on the same day - a meeting of the Hitler Youth took place in Plauen / Saxony. Is this the same parade - only that boys and girls received different badges? Does anyone know whether these badges were awarded to each participant in the parade or could the badges be bought on that day? This was the case, for example, with the famous Potsdam badge, which was available in silver and bronze. Plauen played a very important role for the National Socialists even before 1933 and I am sure that there must have been a larger parade back then. The badge shows the town hall tower in Plauen - since I live not far from Plauen, I have attached a photo of the tower today for comparison. I hope you enjoy this thread. I would be happy to receive any information about this meeting.

Hallo Leute, so viele Abzeichen sind hier schon veröffentlicht worden aber ich möchte euch heute ein Abzeichen vorstellen , das man so gut wie gar nicht mehr findet. Es ist das Abzeichen des 1. BDM Treffens in Plauen 1933 . Die Aufmachung dieses Abzeichens ähnelt einem nordeutschen Abzeichen, das hier im Forum zu finden ist. Zur gleichen Zeit - eventuell sogar am gleichen Tag fand ein Treffen der HJ in Plauen / Sachsen statt . Handelt es sich hier um den selben Aufmarsch- nur dass Jungen und Mädchen verschieden Abzeichen bekamen ? Weiß jemand , ob diese Abzeichen an jeden Teilnehmer des Aufmarsches verliehen wurden oder konnten die Abzeichen an diesem Tag gekauft werden? So war es zum Beispiel bei dem berühmten Potsdam Abzeichen, das es in Silber und in Bronze gab. Plauen spielte schon vor 1933 eine sehr wichtige Rolle für die Nationalsozialisten und ich bin sicher , dass es damals ein größerer Aufmarsch gewesen sein muß . Das Abzeichen zeigt den Rathaus-Turm von Plauen - da ich nicht weit von Plauen lebe, habe ich euch ein Foto des Turmes von heute zum Vergleich beigefügt. ich hoffe , ihr habt Spaß mit diesem thread . Jede Information zu diesem Treffen würde mich freuen.

Crazy. I come back to the forums after years away and this is the FIRST thing I scrolled on. I see you used the photos from e-militaria. I bought that one and I still have it! (Pictured)

The reason I came back is because I was thinking about starting to sell off parts of my collection soon as I now have other life commitments and I've been re-activating accounts on historical forums in preparation to see where I should try to sell. Glad to see this forum is still active as it has such a wealth of knowledge.

Congrats to your purchase! Though I often visit militaria shows and flea markets in Saxony I was never able to find another Plauen badge.
 
Unfortunately I was not able to find out who has produced the badge. On the back side it is clearly readable that the badge has been produced in Markneukirchen. This is a small town in the south of Plauen / Saxony.
