Goldener Saal

The Goldener Saal is a large indoor hall within the Zeppelintribüne complex in Nuremberg, Germany. The space features stone walls and arched ceilings constructed with heavy masonry typical of 1930s building techniques.

The hall was built as a central venue for the Nazi Party rally grounds and hosted major political gatherings between 1933 and 1938. After the war, the buildings served military purposes before eventually opening to the public as sites for historical education.

The hall's name references its original golden interior design and now serves as a place where visitors confront German history directly. The space itself shows how large-scale gatherings were organized and experienced in that era.

Access to the hall is mainly through guided tours that explain the grounds and their architecture. Visitors should dress appropriately for a large, unheated concrete space and allow plenty of time to explore the entire complex.

The hall was originally decorated with gold leaf and elaborate ornamental elements, only traces of which remain visible today. This contrast between former splendor and current state offers visitors a direct connection to the passage of time.
