The Nazi party rally grounds (German, ''Reichsparteitagsgelände''; Literally: ''Reich Party Congress Grounds'') covered about 11 square kilometres in the southeast of Nuremberg, Germany. Six Nazi party rallies were held there between 1933 and 1938. ==Overview== The grounds included: * The ''Luitpoldarena'', a deployment area * the Luitpold Hall or "Old Congress Hall" (damaged during World War II, later demolished) * the ''Kongresshalle'' (Congress Hall) or ''Neue Kongresshalle'' (New Congress Hall) (unfinished) * the ''Zeppelinfeld'' (Zeppelin Field), another deployment area * the ''Märzfeld'' (March Field) (unfinished, later demolished), a deployment area for the ''Wehrmacht'' (army) * the ''Deutsche Stadion'' (German stadium) (never exceeded the state of foundation), which was to be the largest sports stadium in the world * the former ''Stadion der Hitlerjugend'' ("stadium of the Hitler Youth", today Frankenstadion) * the ''Große Straße'' ("Great Road"), a (never used) parade road. A "Haus der Kultur" (House of Culture) and a representative entrance portal towards the "Great Road" were planned at the northwestern end of the "Great Road", near the (new) Congress Hall.〔(German page about the rally grounds )〕 Only ''Zeppelinfeld'', ''Luitpoldarena'' and ''Große Straße'' were finished. The ''Kongresshalle'', ''Zeppelinfeld'' and the ''Große Straße'' have been under monument protection since 1973 as significant examples for NS architecture. The grounds were planned by Hitler's architect Albert Speer, apart from the Congress hall, which was planned by Ludwig and Franz Ruff. Today the whole site is a memorial, and parts are used as the Norisring motor racing track. On 30 August 1933 Hitler declared Nuremberg the "City of the ''Reichsparteitage'' (Reich Party Congresses)". 〔(Historical lexicon of Bavaria ) (German)〕 The Party Congresses (''Reichsparteitage'') were a self-portrayal of the NS-state and had no programmatic task. The unity of the nation was to be demonstrated. In a propagandistic way a relation was to be drawn between the NS movement and the glory of the medieval emperors and the meetings of the Imperial States which were held in Nuremberg. 〔(Historical Museum of Bavaria ) (in German)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nazi party rally grounds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
