Hi all,
Sometime ago we discovered a VERY beautiful KdF pin for a swimming pool. Somewhere else, funny enough, a document for that same KdF-Bad! The document is here, the pin, was left forgotten, cause of things going on. Really such a shame ... BUT, maybe, itll pop up somewhere. Anyway, totally forgotten too, by me, was this pin I want to show (off). Its so very lovely, its just loveable with that blue ... it looks even like fabric? But it isnt. Last 2 pics, I used the document, cause its realy very nice, and, I just wanted to use it *LOL* But its a document for a KdF-Bad, not the Messe.
The Leipziger Messe, the trade fair of Leipzig, 1 of the oldest trade fairs in the world! National Socialist era, ofcourse, made it
Reichsmesse. After WW2, it was on (
or just in) the border of eastern Germany, and got part of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (
CoMeCon), which is actualy in 1 of my new schoolbooks! I looked it up, so, thatll be cool to study.
The pin is clearly marked on the back. Efoplast, is said to be pressed paper? But it feels like plastic, realy. Doesnt bend or shape under pressure.
D.R.P.a, must be a patentlike thing? The little "a" is throwing me off a bit, I guess.
E.O. Friedriech, the maker, in Leipzig.
The image, must be the building, or the entrance of it, where the Messe was at. I think it could be a hotel now, but I couldnt really find good pics to match this pin? So I could be way off there.
Here is some info on the history of the Messe and the logos used, with pics. But no pic to match the pin either. Maybe someone has anything?
The
Leibziger Messe still exists.
Enjoy,
KR
