Dedication of the Horst Wessel Neckar Lock-Bridge
Gundelsheim, 1935
Horst Wessel Brucke im Gundelsheim: The Gundelsheim Lock-Bridge was completed in 1935. On completion the bridge was named in honor of Horst Wessel. All historical information and photos of this event seems to be suppressed on the internet. This badge would have been handed out or sold at the dedication of the bridge. Shown below are two of the four landmarks pictured on the badge. Contact me if anyone can identify the top two structures. Grey metal, magnetic, 47 x 32 mm, very scarce, light wear.
