Original WWII German Wehrpass & Gesundheitsbuch – Georg Bierfelder 1937–1944

Description

Original WWII German Wehrpass of Georg Bierfelder

This Original WWII German Wehrpass forms part of a particularly interesting matched German military document group belonging to Georg Bierfelder, born in Forchheim, Oberfranken, on 5 March 1896.

Unlike an isolated or anonymous military document, this group preserves multiple records connected to the same individual, including his original Wehrpass, original identification photograph, handwritten signature, military registration and examination entries, wartime administrative information and an associated Gesundheitsbuch (G-Buch).

Together, the documents provide a chronological record covering the German pre-war military registration system and the Second World War period from 1937 through 1944.

Georg Bierfelder – Personal Identification

The personal-data pages of this Original WWII German Wehrpass identify the holder as:

Name: Georg Bierfelder
Date of birth: 5 March 1896
Place of birth: Forchheim
Administrative region: Oberfranken
Nationality: German
Civil occupation: Schreiner, or carpenter/joiner, according to the visible handwritten entry.

The original black-and-white portrait photograph of Bierfelder remains mounted inside the Wehrpass.

The photograph is accompanied by official period stamps and the holder’s handwritten signature, providing a direct visual and documentary connection to the individual represented by the military records.

This combination of photograph, signature and identifiable personal details is particularly desirable in original WWII German military paperwork.

Military Registration in Fürth – 1937 and 1943

One of the most historically useful sections is the Musterung, or military examination and registration page.

Visible entries include the Wehrbezirkskommando Fürth i. B., together with the date:

16 February 1937

A later entry from the same military administrative system is visibly dated:

9 August 1943

The page also carries the classification Landwehr II, along with handwritten signatures and official administrative markings.

These entries allow the document to be followed across a period of more than six years, from German pre-war military administration into the later stages of the Second World War.

1940 Discharge as Gefreiter

Another important page records Bierfelder’s discharge on:

1 March 1940

His rank is clearly entered as:

Gefreiter

and the destination following discharge is recorded as:

Forchheim

The page retains additional handwritten information, official stamps and medical or administrative annotations.

For collectors researching an individual’s military status, this dated discharge entry adds considerably more historical context than would be present in an uncompleted Wehrpass.

Matching Gesundheitsbuch – February 1939

A major feature of this group is the associated Gesundheitsbuch (G-Buch) bearing the same name:

Bierfelder Georg

The Gesundheitsbuch records the same date of birth:

5 March 1896

and the same birthplace:

Forchheim

The printed document is dated February 1939.

This matching personal information strongly links the Gesundheitsbuch to the Wehrpass and makes the group much more interesting as a surviving personal archive.

The Gesundheitsbuch was used for medical and physical examination records and contains printed sections relating to examination results, physical measurements and medical assessment.

Wartime Medical Records Through 1944

The surviving documentation also contains later medical and military examination information.

One photographed form is prominently marked:

BAMBERG OST – 8.6.1944

and carries the surname:

BIERFELDER

together with the military identification number:

96/180/8

Additional examination pages preserve entries associated with the Wehrbezirkskommando and physical measurements.

The presence of documentation from 1944 is particularly useful because it extends the historical timeline of the group into the final full year of the Second World War.

A Matched WWII German Military Document Group

This Original WWII German Wehrpass group therefore preserves several complementary historical elements:

• Original Wehrpass of Georg Bierfelder
• Original portrait photograph
• Original handwritten holder signature
• Forchheim and Oberfranken personal information
• Wehrbezirkskommando Fürth military entries
• Musterung dated 16 February 1937
• Additional examination entry dated 9 August 1943
• Landwehr II classification
• Discharge dated 1 March 1940
• Rank of Gefreiter
• Matching Gesundheitsbuch / G-Buch
• Medical and examination documentation
• Bamberg Ost record dated 8 June 1944
• Original Wehrmacht-era stamps and handwriting

The documents display natural signs of age, handling, storage and wartime administrative use, including staining, discoloration, fading, surface wear, creasing and varying intensity of stamps and handwriting. These characteristics are visible in the photographs.

For collectors of German Wehrpass documents, WWII German military paperwork, Wehrmacht documents, Gesundheitsbuch records, German military identification, Third Reich documents and named WWII document groups, this is a particularly complete and visually interesting set.

Authenticity guaranteed.
