The buildings and projects on the previous Nazi Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg belong to the best known architectural propaganda of the Nazi era. Those were aimed at arousing emotions that would be used for political and ideological purpose by mobilizing the masses. The exhibition catalog investigates the architectural means and extensive events that have helped achieving this emotionalization. Historic photographs, march plans and architectural models temporally and spatially reconstruct the military organized mass rituals. The images and models reveal the influence of the idea of deployed and marching masses on the architectural design. At the same time it conversely becomes recognizable that the buildings and spaces organized the movements of the masses. Latest photographs of the current day-to-day and festival uses of the previous Nazi Party Rally Grounds accompany this investigation and confront us viewers with the question of how we want to approach the historically charged site and its buildings in the future.
