Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft – Identification Card of Maria Leick, wife of Moritz Leick, Senior Railway Inspector (Rb. Oberinspektor), issued by the German Reich Railways. Luxembourg, March 18, 1941.
Rare Nazi Identification Card issued by the official German Reich Railways (Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft) to a woman named Maria Leick, wife of Moritz Leick, Senior Railway Inspector (Rb. Oberinspektor). The document bears the signature of Maria Leick, a Nazi eagle and swastika stamp, and an official Reichsbahn revenue stamp (50 Reichspfennig). It was issued in Luxembourg, under Nazi occupation, on March 18, 1941, and includes an official portrait photograph with prominent Nazi stamps, the Reichsbahn 50 Reichspfennig stamp, and formal signatures. The issuing officer’s title: Der Dienststellenleiter der Reichsbahndirektion Gaugebieten – Zentrale Stelle Anwendung (Station Head of the Reich Railway Directorate in the Regional Districts – Central Application Office).
On the reverse side, the validity is extended until March 1945, approved in Koblenz by the Rva. Koblenz 2 administration, signed by an Oberreichsbahnrat (Senior Reich Railway Advisor), with another Reichsbahn eagle and swastika stamp and an additional official Deutsche Reichsbahn stamp (50 Reichspfennig).
Research reveals a woman named Maria Leick, born April 1923 and deceased March 2019, buried in Silwingen—possibly the same individual.
This document dates from the period in which the Reich Railways were a critical instrument of the Nazi regime, used extensively for both military and civilian transport purposes. The fact that it was issued in Luxembourg suggests that Moritz Leick served in his official capacity there under German occupation, and that family members of railway officials also received official documentation.
