Historical Description
The slogan “Heimat und Reich” (“Homeland and Reich”) was used in the early years of Nazi Germany to promote unity between regional identity (Heimat) and the centralized national state (Reich). In 1933, following the Nazi rise to power, numerous local events and rallies were organized across Germany to reinforce this ideological message.
Badges such as this example—often referred to as tinnies—were produced for these events and typically featured regional symbols. In this case, the Westphalian horse represents Münster and the surrounding region, linking local heritage to national political messaging.
While not all such badges were exclusively issued by the Hitlerjugend, they were frequently worn at youth, party, or civic events and reflect the broader mobilization of society during this early period.
Today, early-dated (1933) regional tinnies are valued for their historical context and as artifacts of the transition period during the establishment of the regime.
