  • The historic Nuremberg party rally grounds have been left relatively untouched after WW2. In this video we explore those ruins and the future of the site in the years to come.

    Last year I traveled to Nuremberg and spent a rainy morning walking around the Nuremberg Rally Grounds. It was an odd experience walking around a place that lead to a movement resulting in WW2. When I originally recorded the footage at the grounds I didn't think I would be making a video about them, but when I returned home I did some more reading into the history of the area and found it much more interesting than I first expected.
    Hopefully the video turned out well enough to be worthy of a watch, please tell me if you would be interested in more content like this in the future!

    Im suprised you didnt mention that the grandstand is still used as a grandstand for DTM racing. You can even see the start/finish line!

    Just a little side note: while Nuremberg is inside the state of Bavaria, it's not culturally part of it. The northern part of Bavaria is Franconia and franconians can get quite upset if you call them bavarians.

      Oh I didn't know. It felt very much like Bavaria. The Christmas markets in Nuremburg where adorable :D

    Two more funfacts/details you missed (I don't think they even were noted in the walking tour map):
    The Silbersee: when you walked up the parade lane eastwards, there are lakes (mostly drained in winter) left and right. while the bigger ones in the beginning are indeed just there to look good, the one on the right further down the road, the Silbersee, is the floaded foundation which was dug for the enormous, U-shaped "Deuutsches Stadion".
    The other funfact is, the Footbal stadium you saw iis built on the exact same location as the hitler youth stadium back then. hasn't moved a centimeter.

    I was there this past march. The town was cool. The rally ground were so eerie. Did you spin the ring in the town square?

    • @TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs
      @TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs  8 месяцев назад

      I tried myself to find the ring but I couldn't figure out which one it was on the railings.
      There were a few other confused tourists looking for the ring as well 😅

    I live right next to the rally grounds and during my finals I had to focus on the rally grounds and we learned pretty much everything about it.
    The golden hall not being open to public got nothing to do with it being swastikas on the roof. It´s not opened cus the city has not yet planned on how to open it and the rest of the building, since it´s not the only room in it. (The remaining rooms is mainly toilets though) It´s already being discussed and planned to open the room later on to the public but details and stuff just aren´t being worked out yet. Also including the stability and overall maintenance of the building, since bombing the outer hallways and the swastika on top lead to great problems and damaged the buildings structure heavily. Rain and time had played it´s part. There´s really much going on rn and they are planning to chance the howl area in order to better connect it with history. Kudos though I hope you had fun visiting my city :)

    Uhh...what's the problem, they might faint from stress? I don't understand. Apparently film of it is just fine, guess you can faint at home and it's ok?
    Anyway, very cool tour, I'm surprised such a venue is so intact.

      The nazi swastika is a banned symbol here in Germany and presenting it in public a punishable offence. Another example of this whole theme complex would be "Mein Kampf" being banned in it's bare form. Only prints with comments "putting the work into context" may be sold here (not that that would change much about what uncle 'dolf wrote back then).

    Ah, socialists and their megalomania. At least I'm happy that the ones that were here decided to can Palace of The Soviets, Ministy of Industry building and several others.
