Reproduction Third Reich Building/Wall Aluminum Eagle-
In the Third Reich, the Hoheitszeichen—or national emblem—symbolized the sovereignty of the state. This emblem took the form of the iconic German eagle clutching a swastika, representing the authority of the NSDAP. It appeared in numerous forms, from military insignia and document stamps to architectural and decorative elements.
Wall and building eagles were especially prominent, adorning official NSDAP buildings, meeting halls, and even private homes of Party supporters. These eagles varied widely in design and material—some were grand, one-of-a-kind creations carved in stone or cast in concrete, many of which still exist today (often with the swastika removed or concealed). Others were mass-produced in materials like wood, metal, or even cardboard. Hand-carved wooden versions in the Black Forest style were also common. Some bore general national eagle designs, while others incorporated symbols of specific military or paramilitary organizations.
After the war, Allied policy mandated the destruction of emblems featuring the swastika, making original examples rare and highly restricted in many countries.
This reproduction aluminum eagle is inspired by those used on Third Reich-era buildings and walls. Cast in heavy aluminum with a hollowed reverse to reduce weight, it measures 74.5 cm wide by 40 cm high. The design is fully three-dimensional, with a prominently raised body, head, and wreath. Six mounting points—four on the wings and two on the wreath—allow for secure wall display. The eagle features artificial aging for an authentic vintage appearance and remains in excellent condition. It makes a bold and historically evocative display piece for any office, study, or collector’s space.
