Münchner Fashing 1939 advertising poster by Ludwig Lutz Ehrenberger. Munich Carnival print advertising 1939.

The Münchner Fasching (Munich Carnival) of 1939 took place during a period of political tension, just months before the outbreak of World War II. Despite the looming conflict, carnival celebrations continued in Germany, offering a brief escape through tradition and festivity. Posters for events like these reflected the prevailing artistic and political climate, often combining regional motifs with stylized, state-approved aesthetics.

Ludwig Lutz Ehrenberger (1878–1950) was a German illustrator and painter known for his vivid poster art and contributions to commercial illustration in early 20th-century Germany. Active during a time of great social and political change, Ehrenberger created work that balanced traditional German aesthetics with modern graphic sensibilities. His posters, often associated with cultural events, travel, and public festivities, showcased his talent for composition, expressive figures, and eye-catching color.
