Nazi party rally grounds

I visited the Nazi party rally grounds (Reichsparteitagsgelände) in Nürnberg (Nuremberg). This area is where the German Nazi party held their huge party rallies between 1933 and 1938. ~150,000 people could assemble to celebrate the German Nazi party, alongside Adolf Hitler and other prominent national socialists.

After World War 2, the huge swastikas and eagles were blown off of the top of the main section via explosives. The blast marks are still present.

Unfortunately, years of decay resulted in a lot of the front facade being removed due to it being considered too hazardous, but the primary section in the middle is still present. It sure is creepy standing up there and looking out at what would have been a sea of fans adoring their Führer.

Scroll to the bottom to see some photos of what the area looked like during the 1930’s.
