A little plain but still a nice tinnie not seen too often.

Hi Carlyle,

the southern Oldenburg region was "deep black", always, very catholic, rural.

The very early National Socialists did not have an easy time there.
The region south of the Coastal Channel (Küstenkanal) was very early referred to as "South of the Jordan".
North of the Coastal Canal lived the "unbelieving" Protestants, south of the Canal the deep black Catholics.

People didn't like each other, people didn't get married across this "border", they fought each other for centuries long before that, an endless German history...

There is a lot to read about the Nazis in Südoldenburg, about the Cloppenburg region, religion was and is always an issue...

The historic museum village of Cloppenburg is well worth seeing:
Museumsdorf Cloppenburg: Museumsdorf Cloppenburg – Wikipedia

Homepage: Museumsdorf Cloppenburg

A visit there is like stepping back in time to the old days, a hard time and not always a good time, you should see this place once, it's worth every hour...

At the weekends there is fresh bread from the historic ovens, this is paradise on earth! ;)

Thank you Micha I appreciate this information. I will definitely checkout the link you provided me.

Hi Joe,

thanks for your kind reply, also for collectors it is always interesting to read something about the regional history behind such badges, also on the subject of Cloppenburg.

There is a small list of publications related to the Cloppenburg Museum Village:
Link: Publikationen – Museumsdorf Cloppenburg

A very good read is the german publication "Bauernhöfe im Nationalsozialismus" ("Farms under National Socialism"),
published by Herr Thomas Spohn in the year 2019

: Blog

Quote:

"Farm building in preparation for war: Because of the construction of airfields and military training areas as well as other "wartime" facilities, individual farmsteads and entire villages were forcibly relocated and resettled elsewhere in Germany between 1936 and 1942 in preparation for the Second World War. They shape life there to this day. The central actor was the "Reich Resettlement Society" ("Ruges"), which was founded specifically for this purpose and whose work has not yet been systematically investigated. Thomas Spohn - a long-standing consultant for monument protection and a proven expert on historical architecture - has researched the activities of the "Ruges" in numerous archives and on site and evaluated a wealth of previously unpublished sources. In a way that is generally understandable, he traces the process of resettlement, shows the resulting architecture and goes into both the motives of the planning architects and the perspective of those affected..."

Have fun and success in your search, you can always find something, if you dig deep enough, even if it's just the internet... (y)

P.S. I have a personal connection to this region, we bought a historic farm there in 1995.
The origins of the property date back to the 17th century, historical bricks were found, which were marked by the masons at the time with the year 1813.

If you would like to read a little more deeply about this topic, I recommend this PDF file:

"Heimat im Nationalsozialismus 1933 bis 1945. Von dem Heimatschutz / Naturschutz ueber "Blut und Boden" zum Freilichtmuseum Cloppenburg"

"Homeland under National Socialism from 1933 to 1945. From homeland protection / nature conservation to "blood and soil" to the Cloppenburg open-air museum"

This working paper dates from 1997, it contains 28 pages, the download size of the file is 417 kilobytes, a fairly small file.
Unfortunately, the work is only available in German, very interesting, I'm happy to help with the translation of individual passages, unfortunately I can't offer more at this time...

Hi Micha - is this in German or English?

That sounds great. When I was I Wurzburg for my sons wedding many years ago we toured a number of castles in the area. One of my favorites was Marionburg (spelling?)
Everything in town was very old. Only bombed once.
 
Hi Joe,

during your visit to Würzburg you probably visited this historic bavarian fortress:

"Festung Marienberg" E: "Marienberg Fortress": Festung Marienberg – Wikipedia

A very impressive facility, and a typical example of these historic fortifications, well worth seeing, a visit is highly recommended! (y)

Micha
P.S. I was born in the city of Munich / Bavaria in 1956, but was brought "home" to northern Germany for family reasons at a very young age of just a few months. But as young boys, we all grew up, wearing typical bavarian "Lederhosen", 365 days of the year. :)

In German they say: "Zeiten kommen, Zeiten vergehen, Hirschlederne Hosen bleiben bestehen!"
("Times come, times pass, deerskin trousers remain!") ;)

"Lederhosensaga" (Börries Freiherr von Münchhausen): Lederhosensaga | Deutschland-Lese

* Oh yes, the above PDF file is unfortunately only available in German, which is typical for our subject area, sorry.
