Hakenkreuzbanner ('Hooked Cross Banner') was a newspaper published from the German city of Mannheim between 1931 and 1945. It was a local organ of the Nazi Party (NSDAP). After the seizure of power by Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP in 1933, Hakenkreuzbanner grew in influence within the Mannheim media scene. Under the new regime, the newspaper acquired its rotary printing presses and office buildings by violently taking them from a Social Democratic competitor. Publication stopped in the latter stage of the Second World War.
