Re: ehrenplakette
50 Year Jubille of a Fife Club in the town of Markneukirchen.
Few would have been made, but value would be low. Unless you are interested in Music Clubs.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: ehrenplakette
Sorry, Ade, but actually these chaps were smokers, not musicians: It's a pipe club.
(Allow me an additional observation: The design of the plaque is of a rather generic, non-specific nature. It would seem likely to me that this was a commercially available "all purpose" item sold with a blank shield that could be customized by engraving it as desired.)

It says:
"As a
memory
of the 50th anniversary
dedicated by the
Pipe Club
'Einigkeit" [= 'Unity']
Markneukirchen
9 March 1930"
The anniversary most likely refers to either the 50th anniversary of the club's founding or some veteran smokers' 50-year-membership.

Re: ehrenplakette
Only in Germany would one find a group of lads so fond of their pipes that they would actually form Clubs to enjoy them in each others company! This plaque must be either unique or nearly so. I can't imagine many being still in existence.

There's an old adage that whenever three Germans get together, they immediately find a reason to form a club.
While this is of course a humorous exaggeration it is indeed a typically German thing to have clubs, associations and special interest groups for anything and everything. A village near my hometown even has a club devoted to a specific brand of Bavarian mustard. (I kid you not.)
By the way, a surprising number of such pipe clubs exist even today: Just do a Google search for "Pfeifenclub" and check out the number of hits.
