WOLFF

The Nazi party rally grounds (in German Reichsparteitagsgelände, literally: Imperial Party Congress Grounds) form a site in the southeast of Nuremberg with a size of eleven square kilometers where the Nazi party rallies were held from 1933 until 1938.

The unfinished congress hall, designed by Albert Speer, was meant to be the largest hall ever built. It was modeled off Roman construction and spatial planning. Hitler wanted monolithic architecture that would make man feel small and powerless by himself, but connected and empowered once within a group.
