Since 1933 the goal of Nazi congresses was to demonstrate power and to make power a cult. The Zeppelin Field and the Palace of Congress were built and designed as a fascination for National Socialism.
The congresses of the Nazi party were held annually since 1933 and each had a particular motto. Since Nuremberg was chosen as the venue for the congresses, the work of this complex began, which was on the outskirts of the city and had the Zeppelin Field as the epicenter of the great events. Here stood the tribune from which Hitler delivered his speeches.
Nearby is the so-called Coliseum with a capacity of up to 50,000 people. Due to the beginning of the contest, it was never finalized. Near this place was also the Field of Mars, in which military games were used to exalt the combative spirit.
The whole space of the propaganda project was connected to a Grand Avenue that led to the different buildings and that should serve for the realization of the great military parades.
