Thingstätte, Open-air amphitheater in Brandberge district, Halle, Germany
The Thingstätte features a domed hall and an outdoor stage built with local porphyry stone, accommodating over 5,500 spectators across 10,000 square meters.
Construction began on February 19, 1934, under architect Ludwig Moshamer's plans, making it the first completed Thingstätte during Germany's National Socialist period.
The facility included six larger-than-life worker statues made from red Löbejün rhyolite by sculptor Alfred Vocke in the Hall of Labor.
The former performance area now serves as a parking lot, while the permanent structures remain standing but continue to deteriorate over time.
Natural stalactites, measuring five to six centimeters long, hang from the ceiling inside the structure, illuminated by light filtering through moss-covered glass blocks.
