Historical Description
This badge was issued for a regional NSDAP gathering titled “Wiedersehensfeier der Alten Parteigenossen” (“Reunion of the Old Party Members”), held in Hattingen in June 1935.
Such events were organized to honor the so-called “Alte Kämpfer”—early members of the party prior to its rise to power. These individuals were considered an elite within the party structure and were frequently commemorated through exclusive meetings and events.
Badges like this served multiple purposes:
- Entry or participation identification
- Commemorative keepsake
- Visible symbol of status within the party
The example is manufactured by R. Sieper & Söhne (Lüdenscheid), a well-known producer of badges and metal insignia. Lüdenscheid was a major center of badge production in Germany.
These aluminum badges were typical for the period—lightweight, inexpensive, yet capable of detailed die-striking.
