The Franktentag [Franconia region day] was an annual festival organized by Julius Streicher, publisher of the antisemitic magazine Der Stuermer and Gauleiter of Franconia. Streicher's aim was to turn the Hesselberg mountain region into an important Nazi site. Streicher planned to build a mausoleum for himself at the location and he printed various propaganda materials to promote the event. The last Frankentag occurred in 1939.
