Itinerary

1

Silbersee

A still, silver-grey lake that looks idyllic but hides one of the most poisoned secrets of the rally grounds. Its waters fill the abandoned pit of a stadium Hitler meant to be the largest on earth.

2

Grosser Dutzendteich

A pair of calm medieval ponds at the heart of the former rally grounds, where families now paddle boats across water that once mirrored the unfinished Congress Hall. The peaceful surface hides how brutally the Nazis reshaped this beloved recreational landscape.

3

Zeppelinfeld

A vast rectangular arena the size of twelve football pitches, anchored by the long stone grandstand from which Hitler addressed hundreds of thousands. This is the most infamous of all the surviving rally structures.

4

Kongresshalle Nurnberg

The largest building the Nazi regime ever began, a colossal unfinished shell of brick and granite modelled on the Colosseum in Rome. Today a modern glass and steel walkway spears diagonally through its northern head, housing the Documentation Center that confronts the crimes once staged across these grounds.

5

Memorium Nuremberg Trials

The wood panelled courtroom where the Nuremberg Trials brought the leaders of Nazi Germany to account before the world. Today it stands as the Memorium Nuremberg Trials, a museum devoted to the birth of modern international justice.
