Original German NSDAP (NAZI PARTY) DER DEUTSCHE HOF NUREMBERG SILVER ASHTRAY Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran Certified.  Third Reich silver service pieces from the most famous hotel in Germany during the Hitler era – Der Deutsche Hof near the railway station in Nürnberg. Most people with an interest in the period are aware that in the early days of the Nazi Party the fanciest hotels in Nürnberg turned Hitler and the Nazis away when they came to the city for their Reichsparteitage or Nazi State Party Days. Hitler was grateful and after coming to power in Germany, he remembered Der Deutsche Hof and invariably stayed there during Reichs Party Days. Note that in the period advertisement directly below the hotel advertises itself as “das Haus des Führers in Nürnberg”! There are many photographs showing Hitler reviewing his paramilitary organizations from the front of the hotel. Silver service articles used in the dining room of Der Deutsche Hof were manufactured by the well-known metals manufacturing firm Gebrüder Hepp of Pforzheim, Germany, south of Heidelberg.
