Nuremberg - City of the Nazi Party Rally

- Nuremberg held great significance during the Nazi Germany era. Because of the city's relevance to the Holy Roman Empire and its position in the centre of Germany, the Nazi Party chose the city to be the site of huge Nazi Party conventions -- the Nuremberg rallies. The rallies were held 1927, 1929 and annually 1933-1938 in Nuremberg. After Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933 the Nuremberg rallies became huge Nazi propaganda events, a centre of Nazi ideals. At the 1935 rally, Hitler specifically ordered the Reichstag to convene at Nuremberg to pass the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws which revoked German citizenship for all Jews. A number of premises were constructed solely for these assemblies, some of which were not finished. Today many examples of Nazi architecture can still be seen in the city.
I have been toying with the idea of doing this video for almost two years. After I had made my "Welthauptstadt Germania" video ( • Welthauptstadt Germania ) in August 2011, it was the obvious, logical step to do a video about my hometown Nuremberg and the Nazi Party Rally. I thought I would do this after I had completed several other videos, I've started but alas time and leisure doing so, are always a problem. Nevertheless things became more concrete when I got the book "Bauen in Nürnberg" by Michael Diefenbacher for Christmas. It revealed the whole scale of the Nazi's construction plans for Nuremberg, especially the changes in and around the medieval downtown which was rather surprising for me.
I didn't go deeper into the organisation since this would have elongated my still very long video and it would have slowed down the pacing and therefore might have caused boredom. After all I still want to inform and entertain. And I wanted to complete this video before I lose my drive as I did with my other unfinished projects. I didn't include the transfer of the Imperial Regalia and Leni Riefenstahl's movies on purpose, the first one because it is simply a footnote, the second one because this subject would demand for an own video. But, since I didn't just want to list up buildings and their data, I also included a small history of the rallies, e.g. background, course of action, necessities and atrocities connected to it. The latter one was a personal necessity for me because I wanted to show that next to the bright veneer of the Third Reich, there is also the barbaric, inhumane reality of the war, forced labour and the extermination of humans considered to be subhuman. People far too often overlook the connection to this greater context.
Making this video was surprisingly quick. The script of 10 pages was written within two weeks - with interruptions of course. I have a life, too! Damned!
My work was simplified by dividing the text into several units of meaning for which I searched specific pictures which I built into a segment for this video, e.g. one segment solely about the course of action of the rallies (05:26 -- 07:42 ) with the next segment solely about the refurbishment of downtown Nuremberg added to the preceding one ( 07:42 -- 11:38 ). With this method, the video was completed within another two weeks - with interruptions of course.
The music was quickly chosen, too, since Wagner conducted by Hans Knappertsbusch worked pretty well for my Germania video.
And finally I want to thank German television for its dull, unimaginative and painful program which gave me the strength and time to execute this project.
I hope you enjoy the result
Excellent job of archive collection! Danke!
Absolutely brilliant video! Comprehensive coverage of the layout of the Rally and reflects a great deal of historical research, with very informative maps and photos. This video must be viewed by anyone interested in those times, and especially those desiring to visit the sites in Nuremberg. Thank you for all your efforts.
Thank you. That is very kind of you. If you are interested, also check out my "Welthauptstadt Germania" video about the proposed reconstruction of Berlin.
I hope this video won't be taken down by TH-cam like with the Welthauptstadt Germania video. Theis is some of the best and most informative historical content on the site, and it'd be a shame if it was all lost.
Vielen dank! Its the best 30 minutes i've spent on a screen for many years! Its interesting, and helps locating the different places we see in leni Riefenstahl movies.. Megalomania taken to impressive levels!
Aber gerne! If you want to, check out my video "Welthauptstadt Germania" on the reconstruction plans for Berlin. That's megalomania.
From the city center take tram number 9. The Rally Grounds are a don't miss for any history enthusiast.
Thank you for making and sharing.
With all my negative attitude towards nazism (my great grandfather died during the second world war), I find this architecture style very powerful
My farts are very powerful
its okay you can like nazis we won't tell mum
9 years of immigration and homosexual pedophillia, have your views changed
No Words does this Justice !!!!!! What is was what it shall be, make it so !!! the smart people know where to look for inspiration and the truth !!!
Excellent video! Like knowing what has happened to famous places.
Beautiful music for beautiful work. Thank you.
Wagner is the God of music
Thank you for sharing this with the world. The more we know, the less likely we are to repeat the mistakes of the past.
mistakes?
what mistakes
We already made one
Very informative video, The Rally of Peace in 1939, very ironic indeed.
It's brilliant. Well done!
Excellent and very complete video . Great work...Congratulations and thank you very much
Thank you very much.
Nice video but way too fast to read and enjoy the pictures that go with each
Just great to see! Thanks.
Well done. Thank you and the music is fantastic.
Thank you for watching.
el sonido de este video es la mejor versión que escuchado de Los Maestros Cantores de Nuremberg
Tearing down history does not change it, all these sites should have been left and maintained and I am not from Germany and it makes me sick that so much was lost , Germans have much to be proud of much of the world's technology came out of Germany.
exactly. The space race was basically who got the best german scientists. Werner Von Braun of NASA was in the SS. The CIA had operation paperclip. It's amazing what germany accomplished when they broke away from the global banking system that has us all living like slaves today. That, and the psychological power of hollywood.
I am reading the autobiographie of Albert Speer and this video is perfect to vizualize what he's talking about. A Great great book by the way.
Nürnberg ist einfach schön...Seine Geschichte ist alles....Dort ich fühle mich wie zu Hause...
Fürwahr, ich auch!
Brilliant video , comprihensive overveiw with so much detail , even has hitlers favourite composer for the soundtrack , so good I'm about to watch it again
You really start to wonder how Germany would have looked like in case the second world war didnt happen.
Many german cities had beautiful city centers I get the impression.
But unfortunately they have mostly been bombed flat during the end of the war.
Nuremburg ♥
I will be there in 4 weeks
Congrats! When you find the time also check out our medieval downtown. Parts of it were lovely renovated after the war. Especially the three main churches St. Sebaldus, St. Lorenz and Frauenkirche are magnificent. And check out our castle. On bright days you have a great sight on the whole city. When you care for good beer go to the beergarten of the Kulturforum vice versa of our main railroad station. It is neatly placed behind the historic city wall and they sell beer from micro breweries from our region.
But at the end of October they close down all beergardens until April but never mind, the Kulturforum also has an inn.
***** TY I look forward to this, Ive been waiting a long tiime to go, beautiful country!
Really nice video, Thank You for your work. Be couse of this video I look diferent on this town. It was just nazi megalomania, I now not to blame town for all that nazi coused disaster. I subscribed.

Srbin Levac
Haha, that happens. Yes, I'm from Nuremberg.
The BJP in India, should similarly rebuild Kurukshetra and its surroundings for massive party rallies in the coming years.
They should have an large open air - Hall of the field marshalls which will have a large prone statue of Pitamaha Bhishma from the Mahabharata on his bed of arrows with a large arc like fountain of water pouring into his mouth.
Would I, being a person mixed with Mexican and Black, be allowed to admire such beautiful architecture? Because something tells me I wouldn't. 🤔
Watch the greatest story never told (on other video platforms). It would have been hoped you would admire. Other cultures and people were to be celebrated, preserved and to thrive. The whole thing was about his fear that Europe would become a melting pot and each nation's individualism be taken from them. History is written by the victors. Don't forget it was the US that were lynching and segregating people for no reason at the time other than race. I forget the name of the American black athlete at the 1936 berlin Olympics, but he said he couldn't walk down the street in berlin because he was swamped by Germans admiration for him, but back home he was treated awfully. HItler did similar to Jews for the conspiracy theory reason that he felt they wanted to agitate the world by infiltrating governments (like they did in russia) and turning people into slaves through the banking system they owned and still own today, landlord tactics and by using propaganda through the mainstream media and hollywood movie system they owned.
Awesome!
Ho grande Allemagne pays magnifique et grandiose avec Wagner ont vie l Allemagne en plein coeur pour l éternités.
6.06 Surely a Hitler look-a-like ...?
Possible. And don't call me Surely!
Despite the pure evil of this nation. The scale and artitecture of these places are absolutely amazing!
