The Reichsnährstand ‘Erbhof – Erkennungszeichen’ (Hereditary Farm) Odal Rune Sign

At the end of World War Two, the German people hastily rid themselves of the propaganda from the Third Reich, much was burned and buried, weapons and munitions thrown into the village pond.  Decades later artifacts that were once quickly thrown into the garbage of history slowly come back to light. On a pile of rubble behind the bust of Adolf Hitler lies the Deutschen Bauern odal rune cast iron relief of the Erbhof, part of a group of artifacts of German rural history unearthed in the museum village Hösseringen 1997/98.
