The congresses of the Nazi party were held annually in the month of September and each had a particular motto, which was given according to the historical events of the time. Since Nuremberg was chosen as the venue for the congresses, the work of this complex began, which was on the outskirts of the city and had the Zeppelin Field as the epicenter of the great events. Here stood the tribune from which Hitler delivered his speeches. In the vicinity was located the so-called Coliseum, a pavilion that intended to imitate the Roman building. Due to the beginning of the contest, it was never finalized. Near this place was also the Field of Mars, in which military games were used to exalt the combative spirit and harangue the ranks. The whole space of the propaganda project was connected to a Grand Avenue that led to the different buildings and that should serve for the realization of the great military parades.

I'm Kevin and you could say that I'm a cultural interpreter, not a teacher (passing on knowledge) or a sightseeing guide (pointing things out). I lead exploratory walks and unscripted cultural experiences. Information is presented in a way that allows my guests to make their own mental connections because, after all, a tour with just interesting information is infotainment. The most memorable tours are the ones that make people think and feel. For example, to this day, in the southeast corner of Nuremberg, the remains of structures located on the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds impress visitors with their immense proportions and stand as vivid testimony to the megalomania of the National Socialist regime. This area of 4 square miles was intended to be an impressive backdrop for the Nazi party rallies and serve to demonstrate their power not only to Germany but to the entire world.
