The Muchow Plan was an organisational structure for Nazi Party membership developed by Reinhold Muchow when he was leader of the Greater Berlin Gau 1 in 1925.[1] [2]
Under the Muchow Plan, the Party's local organisation consisted of a series of subdivisions, in a manner influenced by the cell structure of the Communist Party.[3] The smallest subdivision was a cell, led by a Zellenobleute; this might consist of only a few members.[4] Cells were organised into a Sektion, and these were collected into an Ortsgruppe.[5]
The plan served to increase the growth of the Party and facilitate the integration of new members.[4] After 1928, the Plan become the standard for party structure across Germany. The central organisation was led by Muchow in Munich.[6]
