Heidelberger Thingstätte

Germany / Baden-Wurttemberg / Heidelberg /
 interesting place, 1935_construction
Former assembly and festivity place during the Third Reich, built adjacent to the ruins of an old Christian basilica.

It is in the form of an egg-shaped amphitheatre and has a capacity of approximately 8,000 seats or 15,000 standees.
The total cost for building the theatre, including creating parking and access roads and the provision of water and electrical power, appears to have been approximately 600,000 RM, all but 40,000 RM borne by the city.

Comments

  • The ampitheatre was indeed built by the Nazis. Obviously nobody lives in it, and people living close by have nothing to do with Nazis.
  • "Many people here still loved their "great father"." -> complete nonsense!
