Rosenthal Wall Mask- Bamberger Reiter # 793
Often seen in period SS publications and art advertisements the "Bamberger Reiter" was claimed by Himmler to be that of Henry the Fowler. The Reiter located in Bamberg Cathedral was considered to be a sign of German spirit.
Himmler who believed himself to be the reincarnation of "King Heinrich I" and the earthly inheritor of the human and political spirit of the long-dead king utilized centuries old historical figures to re-ignite German heritage and spirit within the German people and the SS.
This particular piece like many other objects of the period can often go unnoticed by the Third Reich collector, and the roots of such pieces run deep.
