The Schwerbelastungskörper, also known as Großbelastungskörper, was constructed between 1941 and 1942. This massive cylindrical structure of unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete was designed to test the ground's load-bearing capacity for a planned Nazi triumphal arch. Designed by Albert Speer, it now stands as a heritage monument in Berlin's Tempelhof district.
