Apart from the Air Ministry, all the major public buildings along the Wilhelmstrasse were destroyed by Allied bombing during and early The Wilhelmstrasse as far south as the Zimmerstrasse was in the Soviet Zone of occupation, and apart from clearing the rubble from the street little was done to reconstruct the area until the founding of the Relics of the Reich: The Buildings the Nazis Left Behind in The communist DDR regime regarded the former government precinct as a relic of Prussian and Nazi militarism and imperialism, and had all the ruins of the government buildings demolished in the early s. In the late s there were almost no buildings at all along the Wilhelmstrasse from to the Leipziger Strasse. In the s, apartment blocks were built along this section of the street.

From to the president of the Prussian Council of State and future West German chancellor Konrad Adenauer, used this as his apartment whilst serving as a Centre Party politician and chief mayor of Cologne. Upon taking power, this is where Hitler put Ribbentrop's office and the Nazis' liaison office, both under the authority of deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess who was made responsible for ensuring that all laws, statutes, regulations, promotions and so forth conformed to National Socialist ideology.

The Foreign Office was [ It was also no retreat of old-ministerial bureaucrats, who, under a bad government, would not abandon their country and simply continue their ministry. There was also no targeted infiltration by national socialists, which was not necessary at all. What was more characteristic of AA was the "self-equalisation. An antidemocratic and an anti-Semitic consensus prevailed among the officials in the Wilhelmstrasse and the Hitler government. The most aristocratic diplomats represented the traditional upper-class anti-Semitism, which was less radical than the genocidal anti-Semitism of the national socialists. But both wanted to overcome the "plague of peace" of Versailles and make a great power again. There were only differences in the assessment of the risk of war. Nothing is left of it today, but the Reich Aviation Ministry can be seen in the background. In the office issued a formal state ment about the so- called Jewish question as a factor of foreign policy. A Jewish state [ie: B ritish Palestine] would, however, bring a legal system of international law to world Jewry. Eckart Conze historian and spokesman of the commission said in a interview that t he Foreign Office "was actively involved in all measures of persecution, deprivation, expulsion and extermination of the Jews from the beginning The target 'final solution' was already very early recogni s able. It had been built in by Boeckmann architects as a residential building. In the house was extended and fitted to the neighbouring German Railway Company. With the founding of the Ministry of Aviation on May 5,the Reichsverkehrsministerium lost the jurisdiction over the Department of Aviation. The Department of Motor Transport and Shipping was divided into two separate departments as Erich Klausener became head of the shipping division. In the same year, the two railway divisions were merged after the head of the administrative department had retired. Added to this were other transport tasks from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Agriculture. The Reichsbahn committees were taken over to the ministry as department head in the rank of ministerial directors. Until the end of the Second World War the structure changed only insignificantly. This meant that the Reichsverkehrsministerium was responsible for a substantial part of the Holocaust. For some years a regular daily meeting had taken place in the Propaganda Ministry on the in Berlin, attended by Goebbels, senior officials of the RMVP and liaison and media staff from other ministries, the Party Chancellery and the Wehrmacht. These press conferences would normally begin at Goebbels dominated proceedings and the only other regular speaker was the OKW liaison officer who would give a brief account of developments at the front s. The ministerial conference was very much a platform for Goebbels to perform. It was not intended to offer a dialogue with journalists. As Goebbels widened the scope of his brief during the war the conference expanded from twenty in attendance gradually increasing after the invasion of Russia to fifty or sixty persons.

It was here on February 26, in a ceremony that Hitler had himself appointed a Regierungsrat in Brunswick for the period of a week, thus acquiring German citizenship. Fest writes how this was "for years his Berlin headquarters;" Irving adds that "[t]his was where Hitler made his command post whenever he was in Berlin.

Nevertheless, Goebbels was constantly involved in quarrels with ministerial colleagues who resented the encroachment of this new ministry on their old domain. Standing in front of the site in Currently serving as the German Federal Ministry of Health and Social Security, this is where Goebbels was in charge of t he Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda RMVP was responsible for the content-related control of the press, literature, fine arts, film, theatre, music and broadcasting.

Model of the entire complex and site today. On February 2,the Ordinance on the Reichskommissar for Aviation was issued, ordering a Reichskommissar for the aviation ministry. This was a first step towards establishing an air force. In addition to the army and the navy, it would become a part of the Reichswehr. The Reichskommissar for aviation was responsible for the planning and development of aviation, directly subordinate to the Reichskanzler. To this end, he received from the Reich Ministry of Transportation and the Reich Ministry of the Interior power over all civilian aviation and air defence. In JanuaryGoering laid the cornerstone of the new Air Ministry. It would occupy a four-hundred-thousand-square-foot site off the Leipziger Strasse. Its central longitudinal block and side wings would house four thousand bureaucrats and officers in its twenty-eight hundred rooms. The building provided the backdrop to the film Valkyrie. The Main Hall Ehrensaal inside then and now. Three days after Reichskristallnacht in NovemberGoering held a conference here now the Euro Hall wherein it was resolved that a thousand million Reichsmarks would be demanded from German Jews to pay for the damage caused by the pogrom.

Hitler at the site in on the left The enormous building stretches south and west from the corner of Leipziger Strasse and Wilhelmstrasse, at the southern edge of the traditional government quarter. Like Sagebiel's airport, its external appearance is modern in its stark and massive facades but traditional in its stone construction and monumental entrance courts. A Third Reich guidebook pronounced it a "document in stone displaying the reawakened military will and the reestablished military readiness of the new Germany. A dozen ministries were given office space there, and it was renamed the "House of Ministries," which it remained until In it was held the ceremony in officially establishing the German Democratic Republic. Proposals for a plaque remembering the terror bombing planned hereof Guernica, Warsaw, Rotterdam, and Coventryhave come to nothing. During the early s, the building served as the headquarters of the Treuhand, the special government agency charged with liquidating Relics of the Reich: The Buildings the Nazis Left Behind Germany's state-owned economy. In it was renamed Detlef-Rohwedder-Haus in honour of the head of the Treuhand Relics of the Reich: The Buildings the Nazis Left Behind was assassinated by left-wing terrorists. As the Treuhand's actions directly or indirectly eliminated hundreds of thousands of jobs, it became a hated institution in the eyes of many East Germans. Some of them chose to see the building as the fortresslike command center of an occupying power, the West German capitalists who had supplanted the Soviet Communists. Traces of Evil: Das Regierungsviertel After the War, , became the topic of comprehensive research. This research increased the amount of information available about public and official buildings, but normally overlooked the architecture and design of the everyday life of the Third Reich. The gaps between the monumental and Relics of the Reich: The Buildings the Nazis Left Behind public architecture which evoked fascination and the banal ordinary architecture may explain this focus. Research into the architecture of the Third Reich focused mainly on the architects and the reasons behind the choice of style. Most architectural historians have claimed that Nazi architecture was not unique at all. The Nazi designers, architects and planners were described as opportunists who were Relics of the Reich: The Buildings the Nazis Left Behind happy to replace modern and avant-garde architects like those active in the Bauhaus Miller-Lane, ; Scobie, ; Taylor and van der Will, It is therefore not surprising that the center of attention after was mainly on the styles which the Nazis had hoped to destroy, such as the Bauhaus Wingler, ; Irmas, In recent decades, however, this focus has shifted to the architecture of the concentration camps and to dealing with the complex issues of preservation which have become acute in an era of Holocaust denial. Concentration camps have been a major topic of research since the end of the War. Add to Cart. Instant access upon order completion. Free Content. More Information. MLA Arieli, Dana. Arieli, D.

DOI: Abstract This chapter seeks to examine the ways in which German cities have confronted their past through the study of heritage of Nazi architecture and design since The author has chosen to use the camera as her study tool through which she is studying Nazi architecture and design today and see them as a reflection of the German Erinnerungskultur Memory-Culture. In the last decade, the author has travelled all over Germany following the relics of the Nazi era. These photographed journeys have resulted in more than 10, frames so far and is still ongoing. The radical changes in German cities after the Allied bombing left fragile urban spaces, and given the circumstances, city authorities, Relics of the Reich: The Buildings the Nazis Left Behind, and urban planners wanted to delay the discussion of the Nazi phantoms left behind as long as possible. After reunification, some German cities adopted the solutions discussed in this chapter, which can often be described as a complicated situation. German cities are trying to do the impossible: combining ancient legacies, buildings designed during the Third Reich and left untouched for decades, and modern and postmodern construction. The resulting mixture has a complexity not found anywhere else. Chapter Preview.
