Muttertag Invite

[lonewolf523]

Gents,

I have an invitation to Muttertag 1939 and think it is for the lady to received the Mother's Award. Can you help and see if I am correct.
And also help with reading the lady's name and is there an organization with it? I put two pictures hoping it could help reading it. Still working
on the two other names on the card but think they are Reichsleiters from Munchen.

Thanks in advance as always

Hello Lonewolf.

I’m not familiar with this type of document, so please take this with a pinch of salt.

I would read her name as Pauline Krippner.

As for the next word, I’m not confident with it, but I would read it as something like Fraunhofern 9/I

Possibly a job title or company?

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Will.

Reichsleiter Karl Fiehler

Karl Fiehler (31 August 1895 – 8 December 1969) was a German Nazi Party (NSDAP) official and Mayor of Munich from 1933 until 1945. He was an early member of the Nazi Party having joined in 1920. In 1933, he became a Reichsleiter in the party and was a member of the Reichstag. In March of 1933, he was appointed Mayor of Munich and held that post until the end of World War II in Europe. During his time as mayor, Fiehler was zealously anti-Semitic and saw to it that the Jewish population of the city was persecuted. After the war in January 1949, Fiehler was sentenced to two years in a labour camp, but the sentence was suspended given the previous three-and-a-half years of detention he had already served.

Fiehler stood with Hitler at the 1923 Putsch and served 15 months in prison with Hitler. His party number is 37. Fiehler was later made Reichsleiter and Oberbürgermeister Mayor of Munich in May 1933.

Will,
Thanks a lot!! I thought the woman's name was Krippner but wasn't sure. The rest of it I didn't have a clue, thanks. I will continue to look into this. A very interesting card with some interesting people on it.
Thanks again!

It is an invitation from the Lord Mayor of Munich ("Hauptstadt der Bewegung" - capital of the (Nazi) movement) and the Kreisleiter to this Pauline Krippner to the Mother's Day celebration (celebration on the occasion of Mother's Day - literally) on 21 May 1939 to take place at 11:00.

The invitation is not transferrable.

Thanks Todd, I would not have wanted her to get in trouble for giving the invitation to someone else! LOL!

LOL! That's literally what is says on the bottom! She must have either gone herself, or not attended at all.

Has anyone seen a picture of Kreisleiter Walter Ziehnert? Have not found much on him nor any pictures! Thanks
