In 2013, the results of the research on National Socialism were presented in the core town of Lörrach. Now historian Robert Neisen is shedding light on the National Socialist dictatorship in the then still independent Lörrach districts of Brombach, Haagen and Hauingen. Starting with the situation in the individual communities, the exhibition and the parallel publication show how the promises of the National Socialists on a new era of prosperity, national unity and external greatness met with a special response, especially in the structurally weak communities before 1933.

The local rise of the NSDAP, the «Gleichschaltung» of the communities after 1933 and the successes and difficulties of the Nazi regime in overcoming economic and social problems are discussed, as well as the persecution of members of the labour movement and the exclusion of other groups, the arbitrary and nepotism of the local party cadres and the increase in terror during the Second World War.
