Commemorative Stained Glass


A one of a kind commemorative stained glass was sold at an American auction house for US$6,750.00 plus consignment fees a few years ago in 2013 and now believed to be in a private collection. I had the opportunity to purchase this piece but unfortunate its size would have meant the requirement for a large display area. Beneath the painted inscription reads "PRESENTED BY THE PRINCIPAL MAYOR OF THE CITY OF COBURG 15.X.1940". A very carefully constructed piece, believed to be from the estate of FRITZ WACHTLER (1891-1945), Gauleiter of Bayreuth and an SS-Gruppenfuhrer.
