1938 Reich party rally of the NSDAP in Nuremberg, Congress Hall with Honor Tribune in the Luitpold Arena
Lot 356
The final design of the whole arena is based on a personal sketch of the Fuhrer. The Arena is rectangular; the Grand Stand for the Fiihrer and the Guests of Honor has been built on one long side protruding in a semi circular form. Opposite to the Grand Stand on the other side there is the Memorial of the Town of Nurnberg for her Fallen Sons, which had already been erected. The War Memorial and the Grand Stand are connected by a granite pathway, 18 m wide and 240 m long. Behind the Grand Stand there rise 4 steel masts, each 34 m high for carrying 3 Swastika Flags, each of 24 m length and 6 m width. The Rally Ground has a size of 84,000 square meters allowing for about 150,000 men. The stands for the spectators can accommodate 50,000 people. On the wide ground of the Luitpold Arena the Party Formations assemble before the Fuhrer during the Party Rally. The Fuhrer speaks to them from the tribune in front of the Grand Stand; he walks down the broad pathway, which has been kept free among the assembled formations, to the War Memorial to pay homage to the Fallen. At the same time the Bands play solemn music. The impressiveness and solemnity of this moment will be a never-to-be forgotten experience to all present.”
