Remarkable there is all this beauty built with the idea of spreading hate and death.
But, its is the land that remains pure not the works of man.

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

I dont think it was built to spread hate and death. It was used for other things before the Nazis took over.

Sorry binabinaaa it was built for the Nazi.
From the thirdreichruins site:

"opened officially on 22 June 1935 by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Speaking to a crowd of 20,000 people, Goebbels called the Thingstätte a "veritable church of the Reich.""

It looks more like a farm in Wisconsin than a propaganda theater in Germany.

It looks like a rune. There are several Germanic runes that are in the "pitchfork" style.

I have walked these ruins during my visit to Heidelberg, but being 12 at the time did not realize their significance. Lovely pictures, and thanks for giving me some history behind this place I remember. I love abandoned places (thus how I found your site).

I am late in writing a comment, but I did watch a special about the Nazi's going after the Holy Grail and how they built a castle (similar in design) to showcase the grail should they find it.
