Nazi Party Rally Grounds Tour

The Nuremberg Nazi party rallies were the largest propaganda event that the Nazis held each year and they influenced German society in a number of ways. Albert Speer, Hitler’s favorite architect, designed and built most of the structures on the Nazi Party Rally Grounds in order to showcase the power of National Socialism.


The Nazi Party Rally Grounds included the Luitpold arena that accommodated mass gatherings of150,000 SA and SS troops and seated 50,000 spectators, the mile long “Great Street” paved with about 6000 Granite blocks for goose stepping Wehrmacht troops, the Congress Hall that was inspired by the design of the Roman Colosseum and today serves as a legacy to Hitler’s megalomania, and the 12 acre parade ground known as Zeppelin Field.The Zeppelin Field had space for 350,000 spectators and participants and got is name after Graf Zeppelin landed one of his zeppelins there in 1909.


The Nazi Party Rally Grounds Tour highlights how the structures on the rally grounds were intended to be an impressive backdrop for demonstrating the Nazis power not only to Germany, but to the entire world and they stand today as vivid testimony to the megalomania of the National Socialist regime.
