E 5 - Vor-Wegweiser StVO 1936 (Germany) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the iconic design of the "E 5 Vor-Wegweiser," a pre-signpost from the 1936 edition of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO). The artwork faithfully recreates the directional and informational road sign, a crucial element of 1930s German road infrastructure.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the graphic representation of roadways. Bold, black lines, representing the "road guide lines" or "Straßenführungsstriche," depict the paths of main and secondary roads. The width of these lines differentiates primary thoroughfares (50mm wide) from smaller, branching routes (30mm wide). The layout features a rectangular board showcasing the directional flow, indicating upcoming turns and junctions.
Meaning & Symbolism
The Vor-Wegweiser itself is a symbol of guidance and pre-planning. Its purpose was to inform drivers in advance of upcoming routes, allowing them to navigate complex road systems with ease. The sign’s graphic layout, with its clear depiction of road paths and destinations, represents order, efficiency, and the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of the era. The presence of both main and secondary roads within the design highlights a broader transportation network, the network of connections that enabled movement within the Reich.
