Zeppelinfeld — Attraction in Nuremberg

Somewhere I always wanted to visit, fascination with the madness of Nation and the manipulation of a people. we have all seen the theater and spectacle the Reich used to great effect.

However when I finally saw the place in the flesh shall we say I found myself finding it to be a scar on the landscape, set in a beautiful park this massive edifice to a history best forgotten is not pretty.

Built on the deaths of others and now listed to never be removed I couldn't help but feel it would have been better to be bulldozed after the war and the land returned to fields.

There is a parking lot next to this structure, which is free and I believe has unlimited hours, and from there you can walk all over the grounds, including up to the pulpit of the stadium itself. There are MANY informational signs, with English and German, but unfortunately many of them have graffiti written on them. We stopped here only briefly after visiting the Kongresshalle, and my husband actually stayed in the car with our kids, but I was able to explore enough to get a sense of the significance of the place in 15 minutes, and wish I had had more time to spend. A must-see, in my opinion, if you're within...
