here are some photos from my weekend in Nuremberg
we spent most of our time in the middle of the Old City where we visited the Christmas Market.
 |
| this is the sight that welcomed us when we exited to the train station |
 |
| the Christmas Market was legit. |
 |
| People were everywhere! |
 |
| Had a little braised beef in a gingerbread sauce with some potatoes. Yummy! |
 |
| Ornaments anyone? |
We also got to go visit the site where Hitler was building a Nazi Party Rally Grounds (aka a Nazi City) a little outside of the city of Nuremberg. This site is where all the rallies, marches and speeches took place. Between 1933 and 1938, six large Nazi rallies were held here.
 |
| Hitler was building a Congress Hall to the dimensions of the Coliseum in Rome. |
 |
| This is the inside view. The building was never completed despite having 1,400 workers working non-stop beginning in 1935. |
 |
| Looking across the man made lake to the Congress Hall. |
 |
| The "Grosse Strasse" (The Great Road). A 1.2 mile long and 132 foot wide road meant to be used for a parade road. |
 |
| The Main Tribune of the Zeppelin Field. |
We also got to visit the museum located in the unfinished Congress Hall.
 |
| Aerial view of what it would have looked like if the Nazi Rally Grounds were finished. |
