memorial, place with historical importance
This field was used as a mass gathering place for the annual "Reichs Harvest Thanksgiving Festival" in the years of 1933 to 1937. In 1938 the festival was cancelled and never held again due to the beginnung of WWII.
Today you can still see the "Führerweg" (the bar in the middle of the field) where Hitler went right through the middle of his followers to hold his speeches at his "Führerkanzel" at the lower end of the "Führerweg". The basement of the main grandstand is visible at the upper end of the "Führerweg", too.
About 500.000 attendants took part in the festival of 1933, in 1937 it were 1.3 million.
