1919 Erich Ludwig Stahl und Otto Arpke (Stahl Arpke) Wahlplakat Fort mit der roten Mißwirtschaft, wählt Deutsche Volkspartei, Erich Ludwig Stahl

The poster for the 1919 election in berlin, designed by erich ludwig stahl and otto arpke (stahl arpke), shows the berlin red town hall in the background on the left, and in front of it the town hall forecourt with "red" ballot papers being swept away with a broom. The aggressiveness of the "sweeping broom" depicted anticipates the violence that later brought the national socialists to power. The german historical museum therefore included the 1919 poster in the exhibition "destroyed diversity. Berlin 1933 - 1938 - 1945"; compare their website https://www. Dhm.
