Guided Story

Can you feel the weight of history pressing in around you? Look up to see Günther Domenig's striking architecture. This building, once intended for grandeur, now tells a very different story. Did you know the Congress Hall was never completed? It stands as a testament to the unfulfilled ambitions of the Nazis. Turn slightly to your right and imagine the distant Great Dutzendteich. It was part of the backdrop for the massive rallies held here. Let these impressions sink in as you contemplate how architecture and history are intertwined in this place.
