Between 1933 and 1936, dozens of Thingstätte, or amphitheaters, were erected as propagandistic open-air theaters and meeting places by the Nazi regime. While many of these amphitheaters are barely known today, they can still be found throughout Germany, Poland and Russia. Here, scholars and artists assess the relevance of these architectural specimens for the future. The project received a special mention by the Jury of the European Heritage Award. The multi-disciplinary approach can be seen as an international model to address topics of problematic history.
