About Reinhold Muchow
- Reinhold Muchow (21 December 1905 in Berlin – 12 September 1933 in Bacharach) was a Nazi Party politician.
- Especially prized in the early years of the movement for his organisational skills, he was associated with the economically left wing of the party. A native of the gritty Neukölln district of Berlin, Muchow was one of the Alter Kämpfer of the Nazi Party.
- He was associated with the Strasser brothers and set up a Central Union of the Unemployed in an attempt to attract new members to the party before this initiative was closed down by the central leadership.
- He became leader of the Greater Berlin Gau 1 in 1925 and here he established the Muchow Plan, a cell-based structure for Nazi Party organisation on a local level which proved important in the growth of the party.
- Muchow's organisational talents impressed Joseph Goebbels and in 1928 he was given charge of organisation for the entire city where his plan became the standard for party structure across Germany.
- In fact Muchow's structure was strongly influenced by the cell structure of the Communist Party.At the same time he was also put in charge of a new Sekretariat fur arbeiterangelegenheiten, later called the Organisation of National Socialist Factory Cells, which sought to build up support for the Nazi Party among industrial workers.
- He was later sent to the German Labour Front where he revamped that group's organisation, setting up fourteen new units.
- He died in an accident in the Rhineland in September 1933 and was widely mourned by the Nazi hierarchy.
