REICHSPARTEITAG
(REICH PARTY CONVENTION)
The Reich's Party Convention Rally or Nuremberg Rally, as it is better known in English, was the annual celebration and propaganda show piece for the Nazi Party and was held every year from 1923 to 1938 (exclusively in Nuremberg from 1927). Nuremberg was situated at the centre of the Reich where the Nazi base was strong and the local organiser, Julius Streicher had strong connections to the local Franconian police force who were sympathetic to the Nazi cause.
1st PARTY CONGRESS
(27th/29th Jan 1923)
The first Nazi Party Rally took place in Munich, the birthplace of the movement, from 27th to 29th Jan 1923. It was later this year that the failed Munich Putsch was to see Hitler imprisoned for treason, and his party rocked by internal strife. After his release from prison in 1924 Hilter was banned from public speaking, so there was no rally held either in 1924 or in 1925.
This first rally was poorly organised and turned out to be somewhat of a drunken beerfest, but it was an essential learning experience for the organisers of the rallies of the 1930's, which were far more professional and became massive propaganda events.
