Light
gray cardstock, 11 x 6.5 cm, salesbook perferation on right, removed from a scrapbook, light discoloration at top of ticket from adhesive tape, this is probably the only ticket in existance for this event. The buyer probably bought the ticket, did not attend, then kept it as a souvenir. Virtually mint condition.
When Hitler was in Stuttgart on April 1, 1938 he was driven to the Marktplatz (marketplace), to go to the Rathaus (Courthouse). He held two speeches in Stuttgart. One of them was at the courthouse in the afternoon and the other one was at the Fairpark Shwaben Hall during the evening. Research: the local newspapers would have covered both events. A framed transcript of his speech with this ticket would make a good display! I'm sure more photos of his visit exist.

The above photo shows Hitler visiting Stuttgart on April 1, 1938. The photo shows the end of Königstraße looking at Stuttgart Central Station. On that day Hitler took advantage of the rejoicing due to the Austrian Anschluss when he arrived at 3:00 p.m. on a special train.
In the City Hall, the Mayor Dr. Stroelin greeted Hitler at a reception held in his honour. Hitler replied to this welcome in a short address, emphasizing that the concept of a Greater Germany was nowhere as lively and vibrant as in Stuttgart, “the city of Germans living abroad.” At 9:00 p.m., Hitler delivered another campaign speech at a mass rally. Following the “party narrative,” he again turned to the events in Austria: “We have all forgotten what it means to be compelled to live outside of the German Volksgemeinschaft!”
