Description
This is an original German Arbeitsbuch (work book) from the period of the Deutsches Reich, issued between the late 1930s and mid-1940s. Each Arbeitsbuch was an official employment record used in Germany to document a civilian worker’s professional training, employment history, qualifications, and certifications. Arbeitsbücher were mandatory for German workers and played an important role in labor administration and workforce control during the era. Today, these booklets are valued as authentic historical documents that offer insight into everyday civilian life, skilled trades, and employment structures in Germany before and during World War II.
The booklet retains its original cover and interior pages, with period-appropriate printed text and handwritten entries in German. Typical entries may include dates, professions, employers, qualifications, and official stamps or signatures, depending on the individual booklet and year of issue. Due to age and historical use, condition varies between examples, but all booklets remain genuine period items. Each Arbeitsbuch is unique and reflects the personal work history of its original owner.
