The Party purchased several hotels in Germany during the 1930s, the Deutscher Hof in Nürnberg being the most famous, as this hotel served as Hitler's headquarters during the fall Parteitag rallies. The hotel maintained a suite for Hitler. Silver table pieces and flatware from the Deutscher Hof had the hotel name on the side of the piece and also the bottom of the piece was stamped with an oak leaf wreathed swastika. Since the Deutscher Hof was the first hotel owned by the Party, it received the honor of its name on the tableware. There were also other hotels owned by the Party. Rather than have the name of each Party-owned hotel specifically stamped on the utensil, as was done with the Deutscher Hof, it became practical for the Party to use a common stamping which encompassed all Party-owned hotels. This stamping was "Hotelbetriebsges.m.b.H.", which was the formal name assumed by the company that ran the hotels for the Party. The wreathed swastika stamped on the bottom was also used with this party-owned company name. We see many pieces with these stamping, and although we can not specifically identify each hotel by this name, we know that it was a Party-run establishment. Also. we see many table pieces come home from the war, brought from Berchtesgaten with this stamping. When this is the case, we can assume they come from the hotel Berchtesgartner Hof, also a Party-owned establishment.

This serving bowl could have been used for nuts or other items or could have been used at a meal service also ‘cuz it is quite large. The bowl has a diameter of 9 inches and it is 3 inches tall. The top edges of the bowl are all scalloped and the bowl is completely peened throughout its silver finish. This bowl is in first class condition with no dents anywhere and looks really great. It is marked on the bottom with a large round wreath which contains a swastika. Below is the nomenclature for party owned hotel tableware Hotelbetriebsges. M. B. H. At the bottom is the maker Gebruder Hepp and the numeral “90” which most likely indicates that this bowl is silver plated. A great example here to add to a hotel collection. A rarely seen piece.

This pitcher measures 4 and a half inches high and it is open at the top. It was most likely used for hot water for tea.

It has a conventional spout at the left and an ear-like handle at the right. On the left surface it is deeply engraved with the Hotelbetriebsgesellschaft mbH marking. It is further marked on the bottom with a wreath with swastika.

Beneath the wreath is the liter content “0.20’. The pitcher is marked on the base with the maker Gebuder Hepp 90. This pitcher still has quite a bit of the original silver finish remaining and is in nice condition throughout.
