This 1923 illustration oshowsf Rudolf Henneberg's painting "Lure of Pan Germanism."

It urged, among other things, the uniting of all ethnic Germans, regardless of existing state borders; reduction of "un-German" (Slav, Catholic, Jewish) cultural influence; and creation of "lebensraum" for Germany by colonial annexation. Rudolf Henneberg was a German painter (1826-1876).
