1920'S / 30'S ANTI SEMITIC BEER STEIN - DEUMLER & BEIDEN 1893
A historically importanr piece.
A very rare, pre the Nazi era, German beer stein with strong anti semitic connotations mirroring the views that helped Hitler come to power.
This is being sold purely as a historically important piece and in no way mirrors our beliefs and for the record, the last one I had went to Israel to a big collection there.
I do not believe in brushing facts under the carpet to fit a Woke agenda,this reflects a period in history and it's important for people to know the facts.
. Approx. size 20.5 cm/8 inches from top to bottom of the stein. 11.2 cm diameter at the bottom.
This stein is a 100% " One Look " period piece .
The scenes in relief on the stein show very much every negative quality of the Jews as they were often perceived at the time, including the saying "Trau keinem Fuchs..." (Trust No Fox...).
Some of the scenes depict the following:
A German farmer together with three Jews holding documents, as they cheat him out of his land with the saying "Kauft nicht bei Juden" (Don't buy from Jews).
A Jew presenting an invoice to a laborer, together with a saying that translates to something like, "The handicraft brings only a small salary while the Jew Cohn cashes in the big profit"
A sleeping Aryan (Michel) is laying under a tree while two Jews are robbing him while he sleeps.
Another scene is calling for the Jews to be driven out of Germany to Israel with "Michel" the Aryan showing
the Jews the way out of Germany while swinging a club.
"Deutsches Haus / Juden haben keinen Zutritt" (German House / No Access For Jews) is written under another scene where the Jews are being forced to leave
The retailer of the stein is Joh. Korzilius, a company that is still in business
The manufacturer was Deumler & Beiden. There are two dates on the stein, 1893 and 1910. 1893 being the year in which the anti-Semitic party had a huge success in the Reichstag election and 1910 was the year in which the "Deutschvoel-kischer Studentenverband" was founded, a very antisemitic right wing party.
One of the founders, Wilhelm Kube, was later leader of the Prussian wing of the NSDAP and during the war was in charge of the "Jewish Question" in Weissruthien (Russia).
Similar steins were auctioned off at Christie's in New York, Christe's in Amsterdam, Habsburg Feldman in Geneva and Sotheby's in Tel Aviv between 1988 and 2001 for several thousand dollars each.
