Q: What am I buying, and why would I want it?
A: This is a stock certificate from 1939 for RM100 in the "Alpine Montan AG" (Alpine Mountain Corporation), a steel firm headquartered in Linz, Austria.
After the 1938 'Anschluss' when Austria was absorbed into the German Reich, the Alpine Montan company was absorbed into the Reichswerke Hermann Göring, a military-industrial conglomerate. During the war the Reichswerk group was one of the three largest exploiters of foreign conscripted and concentration camp labor, alongside
IG Farben
and the HASAG combines.
Following World War II the Austrian assets of the company were folded into the private firm of Voestalpine AG. Although much changed over the decades, the company is still based in Linz and still produces steel, among other things. It operates globally, with around 500 Group companies and locations in more than 50 countries. It has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange since 1995.
