The buildings and projects on the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg belong to the best known architectural propaganda of the Nazi era. Those were aimed at arousing emotions that would be used for political and ideological purpose by mobilizing the masses. The exhibition investigated the architectural means and extensive events that have helped achieving this emotionalization. Historic photographs, march plans and architectural models temporally and spatially reconstructed the military organized mass rituals. The visual center of the exhibition was formed by a large urban model representing the Nazi Party Rally Grounds with the plans of architect Albert Speer. The model showed the latest version of the design planning of 1935.

The exhibition was developed in the context of a research project related to the correlation between space and movement at the TU Braunschweig and the TH Köln.
