Adolf Hitler platz street sign from Landschut

Adolf Hitler platz street sign from Landschut(Documented), Heinrich Himmler’s child hood home. Dreifaltigkeitsplatz 1 1/2 was his home, my sign is 29 just up the street… both # are seen on old period map( I circled them). Dreifaltigkeitsplatz was renamed AH platz during the 12 year Reich.

Additional info map numbers…

1) = Adolf-Hitler-Platz, the Dreifaltigkeitsplatz’ new name during the Third Reich era
2) = The local NSDAP headquarters
3) = The local DAF headquarters
4) = The church of St. Martin’s, This church is interesting for two facts: Its steeple is the world’s tallest brick construction and it has a stained-glass window featuring Hitler and Goebbels (Created after the war to replace the original window destroyed late in the war. The faces of Hitler and Goebbels were given to two torturers in a scene depicting the persecution of a martyr whose name keeps eluding me.)
5) = Nahensteig. According to the SS’ 1937 address list, location of the headquarters of the 31st SS-Standarte. (Nahensteig 182, 2nd floor)
Interestingly, Landshut’s local address book informs us that in medieval times, that street was located in the Jewish quarter of town, which is why its name is name is actually derived from the Hebrew word nahar (= brook). One wonders how many Standarte members were aware of that particular bit of trivia…
6) = Städtisches Krankenhaus (Municipal Hospital), where SS physician Dr. Karl Gebhardt worked for a while from the autumn of 1922 onwards. (He had known Heinrich Himmler from school)
