If in Germany or somewhere else one speaks of the third empire nobody normally thinks of porcelain animals. However, the imperial leader - SS Heinrich Himmler could be absolutely enthusiastic about dachshund, deer or jumping horses made of porcelain. In 1936 he founded with the help of four "scarecrows" a manufacture, without his name should be brought publicly with it in connection. Thus porcelain figures and ceramics with the double victory rune originated first in Munich Allach, then in immediate neighborhood of the concentration camp Dachau as a brand name. Himmlers manufacture should not serve primarily economic purposes, but pursue artistic aims in the tradition of princely and state foundations. The PMA should become "instrument of his wish". One opened in 1937 a store in Berlin at prominent place, later other stores in poses, Warsaw, Lvov / Lwow and took in the porcelain shops besteingeführten in each case at the place "representative traders" under contract. |
