Kongresshalle, Nazi-era monument at Nazi Party Rally Grounds, Nuremberg, Germany
The brick structure spans 39 meters high with granite panel facades and features a U-shaped layout with two head buildings at each end.
Construction of this intended congress center for the NSDAP started in 1935, designed by architects Ludwig and Franz Ruff to accommodate 50,000 people.
The northern wing houses the Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds, offering exhibitions about the National Socialist period in German history.
The building contains the Serenadenhof concert venue in its southern section, which functions as the primary location for Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra performances.
The structure remains incomplete, with substantial sections missing their intended roofing, standing as physical evidence of the Third Reich's unfulfilled plans.
