German workers booklet 'Arbeitsbuch' Erma Müller

Interesting and rather unusual Deutsches Reich Arbeitsbuch issued to Erna Müller, born 5 December 1911 in Wien. The booklet was issued by the Arbeitsamt Flensburg on 16 December 1938 and contains her personal details, official stamps and period signatures. Müller is recorded as single, with residence in Vienna, and the early entries reflect employment during the late 1930s. The Arbeitsbuch shows genuine period wear to the cover but remains complete and clearly legible inside, with multiple company stamps including Vienna-based firms.What makes this example particularly interesting – and somewhat bizarre – is that it continued to be used and updated well into the post-war years, with entries extending into the 1950s. This extended usage illustrates how such documents often remained in practical circulation even after the collapse of the Third Reich. A fascinating civilian document bridging the National Socialist period and the early post-war era, ideal for collectors of labour administration material, women's employment history, or transitional 1938–1950s documentation.
