Nuremberg Nazi Sights Photo Gallery

Nuremberg's Nazi Party Rally Grounds was built to demonstrate the National Socialists' power and to handle the large crowds that participate in this annual event. The Congress Hall was originally designed to mimick the Colosseum in Rome with enough seats for 50,000 people. It was never finished and now part of it is a museum.

The museum has a very detailed audio guide that explains the rise of the Nazi party and the economic hardship that rallied the masses to their cause.

There aren't to many artifacts on display, but a lot of panels that talk about the history of Germany leading up to WW2.

Outside, the interior of the Congress Hall is visible. There are no stands and no roof, but you can still appreciate the vastness of the space.

Outside, there is a huge city park now on where the other rally buildings used to stand. Across the small pond that has dried out for the winter, you can see the Congress Hall once again.

Designed after the Pergamon Altar, the Zeppelin Field was built between 1934-7 to accomodate up to 100,000 people. Only ruins remain today, including the Grandstand and some columns. The Nazi symbol atop the Grandstand was blown up by the Americans in 1945.

The site is a short train ride from the main railway station by tram. The terminus is just next to the museum.

Across town, another important piece of vital Nazi history is located inside a still working courthouse. Courtroom 600 was used in 1945-9 to hold senior Nazi officials accountable for their war crimes (the Nuremberg Trials). Above the room is a big exhibition hall with a very detailed audio guide. Although most is devoted to Nazi Germany, there is a small section that describes war crimes committed by Japan on the other side of the world.
