Allach (porcelain)

As output at the Allach factory increased, the Nazis moved production to a new facility near the Dachau concentration camp.

[4] Initially intended as a temporary facility, Dachau remained the main location for porcelain manufacture even after the original factory in Allach was modernized and reopened in 1940.

According to Marcus J. Smith, who wrote "Dachau: The Harrowing of Hell," the Allach camp was divided into two enclosures, one for 3,000 Jewish inmates and the other for 6,000 non-Jewish prisoners.

The three noted examples included two of Obermaier's models the Fencer and the Victor, and this rare Karner piece the SS Standard Bearer or SS-Fahnenträger.

[5] The majority of items produced at Allach as collectibles bolstered Nazi ideology by presenting idealized representations of peasants, historical figures and rural themes.

The varying styles and low cost (due to slave labor production) of the candleholders produced at Allach allowed most Germans of every class to own them.

The Allach Julleuchter was unique in that it was made as presentation piece for SS officers to celebrate the winter solstice.

Even the wife will, when she has left the myths of the church find something else which her heart and mind can embrace.”[6] In 1939 52,635, Julleuchter were made, probably the largest production for any single item produced at the Porzellan Manufaktur Allach.
