Art guide of the Westphalian Heimatbund

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kunstführer des Westfälischer Heimatbund was the name of a series of publications published in the Westphalian Heimatbund from 1936 onwards .

The 16.5 cm × 12 cm art guides usually comprised 20 pages and were provided with numerous black and white photos. A district map or a city map was printed on the back of the booklet. The most important architectural monuments of the respective city or district were presented in a concise form. The editor of the series, a large part of which was published by Verlag Regensberg in Münster , was the state curator Dr. Wilhelm Rave.

With the beginning of the Second World War, the series was initially discontinued and only continued in 1947. The design of the booklets did not change after the war either: the texts were still set in Fraktur . The appearance only changed with the last editions. A total of 38 booklets came out; the last one about the Soest district was published in 1958.
