White print on black paper with wide white border, vertical line from wear down middle of sheet, stamp including Nazi party emblem near bottom of page, top right corner reads "Magdeburg, den 11. März 1936"

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

From the NSDAP district court in Magdeburg comes this “decree,” signed and notarized, that Fritz Scheuer’s membership in the Nazi Party is annulled, due to the discovery by the Archbishop’s office in Nuremberg-Fuerth that Mr. Scheuer’s great-grandfather, Isaias Neckarsulmer, was fully Jewish (“Volljude“), irrespective of the latter’s conversion and baptism in July 1811. Accordingly, Mr. Scheuer’s Nazi Party membership must be declared void. Interestingly, Mr. Scheuer’s grandfather, according to this document, was Georg Joseph Ignatz Scheuer, also baptized Catholic, who founded and owned a chicory coffee factory in Nuremberg-Feurth. His company was liquidated after 1931.
