Relief Emblem former Hamburger Tageblatt 'Tageblattkogge'

A relief with the logo “Tageblattkogge” of the Hamburger Tageblatt is still present on the facade of this building on Curienstraße. This newspaper, which had emerged in 1931 from a merger of several earlier Nazi newspapers, also appeared in Hamburg from that year onwards and became the official Gaublatt of the NSDAP after it took power in 1933.

The foundation stone for the building that housed the newspaper from 1939 was laid in 1938 by-and in the presence of numerous Nazi promoters including Jozef Goebbels. During the war years, it was damaged by bombing but the relief survived. Nazi newspapers were banned in 1945 and the swastika was removed from the sail of the bullet ship on the relief.
