Comment

hotograph of the main tribune at the Zeppelin Field on the Nazi Party Rally Grounds. The area in the southeast of Nuremberg was planned by Albert Speer. From 1933 to 1938, the NSDAP's rallies took place there.
The main tribune is the only completed building on the grounds.
After his war service, Karl Hugo Schmölz documented the destruction in Cologne with his large-format camera in a similarly strictly objective manner. For many architects in the Rhineland, he subsequently created an impressive documentation of the reconstruction of Cologne.
