In the days of the Third Reich, the new airport at Munich was a few miles east of the city at a place called Riem. Nearby was one of the older and best-known horse race venues in Germany and home of the Internationale Riemer Rennwochen or International Week of Racing at Riem under the auspices of the Braune Band von Deutschland. Horseracing of all sorts took place at Riem - track racing, hurdles and even steeplechase.
The two larger tickets in this lot with the 6 and the 8 on them, are stadium tickets to watch races at Riem in 1940 and 1941. The smaller of the three Nazi tickets is a bus ticket from Steinhausen to Riem and return, purchased by someone who went there for the races.
Because the greater proportion of these kinds of tickets are the very definition of ephemera, few have survived into the 21st century. 90+% of them were discarded on the day they were used. Rare and in very good condition.

This lot consists of three tickets. The largest of them bears the number 44 is for a Wehrmacht concert of the National Socialist Reichs-Symphony Orchestra sponsored by the KdF Kulturgemeinde Stuttgart on 17 April 1942 in the Liederhalle Festsaal (see poster below - not included in this lot). The green numbered ticket 0979 is for a Heeres-Groß-Konzert (Large Army Concert) sponsored by Wehrkreiskommando V in association with the NS Gemeinschaft Kraft durch Freude, for the benefit of the German Red Cross on Sunday 17 May 1942 at 11 in the morning.
The blueish ticket shown in the middle of our photo is a very rare ticket for the Europameisterschaft or European Middle Weight championship boxing match between German Jupp Besselmann and Italian boxer Mario Casadei on 23 May 1942 in the Stadthalle of Stuttgart. Interestingly, you can still google these boxers today on your computer and find out who won!

This lot consists of two train tickets - a small train ticket of the standard size but for a special trip from Bayerisch Gmain (in Berchtesgadener Land) to the east railway station in Munich, and return. It is a Third Class ticket that sold for 3.20 Reichsmarks (80 US cents) and involved a special train of the Kraft durch Freude (KdF or Strength through Joy).
The second larger original Third Reich train ticket is an Arbeiterwochenkarte or Weekly Worker’s Ticket in the Third Class that sold for just 0.70 Rm (28 US cents). The ticket provided transportation from Wahn in the Rheinland to Porz, an industrial suburb of Köln (Cologne).
Both train tickets for $20.00 delivered worldwide.
