Historical Description
Gautage (regional party rallies) were important organizational and propaganda events within NSDAP Germany, bringing together members of a specific Gau (regional district).
This example relates to Gau Westfalen-Süd, one of the administrative regions of the party, with Bochum as a major industrial center in the Ruhr area.
Such events served to:
- Reinforce party structure and loyalty
- Coordinate regional leadership
- Promote ideological unity
- Publicly demonstrate strength and organization
Badges like this were issued to participants and functioned both as entry insignia and commemorative items. They are typical of the early Third Reich period (1933–1936), before later mass-produced standardized insignia became more dominant.
