Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds, Military museum in Nuremberg, Germany
The Documentation Center occupies the north wing of the unfinished Congress Hall and provides roughly 1,300 square meters of exhibition space focused on the Nazi period. The rooms display documents, photographs, and objects that illustrate the structures and consequences of that regime.
The site hosted large propaganda events of the Nazi Party between 1933 and 1938, when the regime used rallies here to display its power. After the war, the grounds became a place for examining and understanding this history.
The permanent exhibition spans 19 chronological sections, examining the causes and effects of National Socialist rule through documents and artifacts.
Visitors can book guided tours in several languages and receive clear information about the exhibition content. The permanent display is well-labeled and allows for self-guided exploration at your own pace.
A modern steel and glass arrow pierces the north wing and symbolizes an intentional break with the site's dark legacy. This architectural gesture shows how contemporary design is used to remember the past while opening a new chapter.
