Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Germany - Zeppelinfeld, Dutzenreich, & Kongresshalle (Nazi Party Grounds)
This clip is from my visit to Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Germany, in June 2010. After arriving via S-Bahn at the Frankenstadion stop (refer my other videos), I first visited the Zeppelinfeld, site of the Nazi party rallies of the 1930s, and made famous by the propaganda movie Triumph Of The Will. The area was preparing for motor racing, so the field was partly obscured, but not so much that you couldn't get a view from Hitler's podium. The clip shows the main tribune both from the roadside below, and also from the tribune itself.
Following the tour of the Zeppelinfeld, I walked around the Dutzenreich, the large lake that dominates the area, and briefly walk up the Große Straße, which was designed by Albert Speer as a place to hold parades.
Finally, I walk around the immense Kongresshalle, the huge NSDAP congress centre that was never completed by the Nazis. This is the largest Nazi structure that is left standing today.

Reichsparteitagsgelände Nürnberg (Nazi party congress ground Nuremberg)
Today i made a little trip to Nuremberg and i had the chance to visit the Reichsparteitagsgelände once more. I thought you may like to see some pictures and videos of this place so i decided to make a video about it. My main goal was to show you how those congresses looked like and how the site looks today compared to the past.
Here is some further information about each building shown in the video:
The Zeppelinfeld (Zeppelin Field):
It is located east of the Great Road. It consists of a large grandstand (Zeppelinhaupttribüne) with a width of 360 metres (390 yards) and a smaller stand. It was one of Albert Speer's first works for the Nazi party and was based upon the Pergamon Altar. The grandstand is famous as the building that had the swastika blown from atop it in 1945, after Germany's fall in World War II. The name Zeppelinfeld or Zeppelinwiese refers to the fact that in August 1909 Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin landed with one of his airships (LZ6) in this location.
From 1947 to 1995 the Nurnberg American High School, a DoDDS facility, used the field (called 'Soldiers Field') for high school football and American football practice. In the 1970s, the pillars were removed for safety reasons. Years of neglect had taken their toll. The rest of the stand is intact and used as the centerpiece of the Norisring motor racing track. The German leg of the traveling heavy metal festival Monsters of Rock was held here twice during the 1980s. Another part of the grounds is home to a campground.
The Congress Hall (Kongresshalle):
It is the biggest preserved national socialist monumental building and is landmarked. It was planned by the Nuremberg architects Ludwig and Franz Ruff. It was planned as a congress centre for the NSDAP with a self-supporting roof and should have provided 50,000 seats. It was located on the shore of and in the pond Dutzendteich and marked the entrance of the rally grounds. The building reached a height of 39 m (128 ft) (a height of 70 m was planned) and a diameter of 250 m (820 ft). The building is mostly built out of clinker with a facade of granite panels. The design (especially the outer facade, among other features) is inspired by the Colosseum in Rome. The foundation stone was laid in 1935, but the building remained unfinished and without a roof. The building with an outline of an U ends with two head-buildings (aerial photo). Since 2001, the Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände (Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds), with the permanent exhibition Faszination und Gewalt (Fascination and Terror), has been located in the northern wing. In the southern building, the Serenadenhof, the Nürnberger Symphoniker have their domicile.
Great Road (Große Straße):
The great road is almost 2 km (1.2 mi) long and 40 m (130 ft) wide. It was intended to be the central axis of the site and a parade road for the Wehrmacht. In its northwestern prolongation the road points towards Nuremberg Castle. This was to create a relation between the role of Nuremberg during the Third Reich and its role during medieval times.
The road reached from the Congress Hall to the Märzfeld, the construction work started in 1935 and was finished in 1939 (it has never been used as a parade road, as due to the beginning of World War II, the last rally was held in 1938). The pavement was made of granite pavers in black and gray with edges of exactly 1.2 m (3.9 ft). A representative entrance portal and two pylons were planned at the northwestern end of the Great Road. Near the entrance area of the German Stadion a grandstand with a hall of pillars was planned for the government leaders and generals which were to take the salute on Wehrmacht formations which were to march in direction of the parade ground Märzfeld.
After the war, the road was used as a temporary airfield for the US Army. Nowadays, it is used by the nearby Nuremberg fair and exhibition company as an occasional parking area for highly frequented fairs.

Nuremberg - City of the Nazi Party Rally
Nuremberg held great significance during the Nazi Germany era. Because of the city's relevance to the Holy Roman Empire and its position in the centre of Germany, the Nazi Party chose the city to be the site of huge Nazi Party conventions -- the Nuremberg rallies. The rallies were held 1927, 1929 and annually 1933-1938 in Nuremberg. After Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933 the Nuremberg rallies became huge Nazi propaganda events, a centre of Nazi ideals. At the 1935 rally, Hitler specifically ordered the Reichstag to convene at Nuremberg to pass the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws which revoked German citizenship for all Jews. A number of premises were constructed solely for these assemblies, some of which were not finished. Today many examples of Nazi architecture can still be seen in the city.
I have been toying with the idea of doing this video for almost two years. After I had made my Welthauptstadt Germania video ( youtube.com/watch?v=dOXmrVR00RI ) in August 2011, it was the obvious, logical step to do a video about my hometown Nuremberg and the Nazi Party Rally. I thought I would do this after I had completed several other videos, I've started but alas time and leisure doing so, are always a problem. Nevertheless things became more concrete when I got the book Bauen in Nürnberg by Michael Diefenbacher for Christmas. It revealed the whole scale of the Nazi's construction plans for Nuremberg, especially the changes in and around the medieval downtown which was rather surprising for me.
I didn't go deeper into the organisation since this would have elongated my still very long video and it would have slowed down the pacing and therefore might have caused boredom. After all I still want to inform and entertain. And I wanted to complete this video before I lose my drive as I did with my other unfinished projects. I didn't include the transfer of the Imperial Regalia and Leni Riefenstahl's movies on purpose, the first one because it is simply a footnote, the second one because this subject would demand for an own video. But, since I didn't just want to list up buildings and their data, I also included a small history of the rallies, e.g. background, course of action, necessities and atrocities connected to it. The latter one was a personal necessity for me because I wanted to show that next to the bright veneer of the Third Reich, there is also the barbaric, inhumane reality of the war, forced labour and the extermination of humans considered to be subhuman. People far too often overlook the connection to this greater context.
Making this video was surprisingly quick. The script of 10 pages was written within two weeks - with interruptions of course. I have a life, too! Damned!
My work was simplified by dividing the text into several units of meaning for which I searched specific pictures which I built into a segment for this video, e.g. one segment solely about the course of action of the rallies (05:26 -- 07:42 ) with the next segment solely about the refurbishment of downtown Nuremberg added to the preceding one ( 07:42 -- 11:38 ). With this method, the video was completed within another two weeks - with interruptions of course.
The music was quickly chosen, too, since Wagner conducted by Hans Knappertsbusch worked pretty well for my Germania video.
And finally I want to thank German television for its dull, unimaginative and painful program which gave me the strength and time to execute this project.
I hope you enjoy the result
Reichsparteitagsgelände und Colosseum Nürnberg
Reichsparteitagsgelände wurde das Areal im Südosten Nürnbergs genannt, auf dem von 1933 bis 1938 die Reichsparteitage der NSDAP stattfanden. Der Gesamtentwurf für die Gestaltung des Geländes stammte in der Grundkonzeption von Albert Speer und im Detail von Walter Brugmann, der auch die Umsetzung planerisch leitete. Es umfasst eine Gesamtfläche von über 16,5 km². Das Gelände erstreckte sich zwischen dem Bahnhof Dutzendteich, dem alten Tiergarten und im Südosten bis zum Moorenbrunnfeld. Einige der Kolossalbauten wurden ganz oder teilweise fertiggestellt und sind noch heute vorhanden.
