German Souvenir Trinket Box - Nürnberg Adolf-Hitler-Platz - A small metal souvenir box with a woven basket-style body in what appears to be brass and hinged lid. The lid features an image believed to be celluloid or lithographed photographic of a city square in Nürnberg, labeled 'Nürnberg Adolf-Hitler-Platz', showing period street architecture, a lamppost, and pedestrians. The front is decorated with applied cast metal shields and a crest reading 'NÜRNBERG' beneath a crown motif.Nuremberg's central Hauptmarkt and surrounding squares were renamed to honour Adolf Hitler during the Third Reich period, reflecting the city's designated status as the site of the annual Nazi Party rallies (Reichsparteitage) held from 1933 to 1938. Such renaming was part of a broader pattern across German towns of adopting Nazi-era place names to demonstrate civic loyalty to the regime. Souvenir items depicting these renamed squares were sold to visitors and rally attendees as tourist mementoes, typical of the mass-produced patriotic trinkets common in German cities during the 1930s.
