It is the funeral of Gauleiter Adolf Wagner. The funeral pillow looks very similar to the one that was on display during the ceremony at the DeutschesMuseum before the internment at the Braunes Haus. The German Order was attached to the pillow directly in the middle. Unfortunately no photo exists of the pillow after it was pinned by Gauleiter Giesler. Here is a far away shot to compare the pillow on the left in the color photo.

Dear Mark,
I think you are right that photo is from A.Wagner´s funeral. Attached is close up of the picture with all awards on the pillow.

Thanks, Goofy. I'll be in Munich in November so I'll see if I can get into the Kongressaal (if it still exists) to match a photo with the colour one above.
