I Visited the Nuremburg Rally Grounds

Last year I traveled to Nuremberg and spent a rainy morning walking around the Nuremberg Rally Grounds. It was an odd experience walking around a place that lead to a movement resulting in WW2. When I originally recorded the footage at the grounds I didn't think I would be making a video about them, but when I returned home I did some more reading into the history of the area and found it much more interesting than I first expected. Hopefully the video turned out well enough to be worthy of a watch, please tell me if you would be interested in more content like this in the future!

What a nice square, I wonder what kind of thought provoking and influential people spoke here,

6:27 Parade ground made for goosestepping, now being stepped on by geese. Poetry.

"tonight, on Top Gear..."

Good video. I went to Nuremberg about 9 years ago and went to the Rally Grounds. I was amazed the tribune at the Zeppelinfield was still there, tbh. It's a shame the visitor centre was closed when you went. I remember it was very interesting. The Congress Hall is magnificent from the outside. I also went to memorial at Dachau, which is a few miles outside Munich. Another very interesting place with a tragic history.

Great video & detail my friend, very enjoyable. Danke Schon!

Im suprised you didnt mention that the grandstand is still used as a grandstand for DTM racing. You can even see the start/finish line!

Iron just casually flexing some of the Rome footage he's sitting on in a video supposedly about Nuremberg ;) Veeerry satisfying watching that Windmill of Friendship explode! And I hope to see this all in person someday, South Germany has been on my list for a while!

Just a little side note: while Nuremberg is inside the state of Bavaria, it's not culturally part of it. The northern part of Bavaria is Franconia and franconians can get quite upset if you call them bavarians.

Two more funfacts/details you missed (I don't think they even were noted in the walking tour map): The Silbersee: when you walked up the parade lane eastwards, there are lakes (mostly drained in winter) left and right. while the bigger ones in the beginning are indeed just there to look good, the one on the right further down the road, the Silbersee, is the floaded foundation which was dug for the enormous, U-shaped "Deuutsches Stadion". The other funfact is, the Footbal stadium you saw iis built on the exact same location as the hitler youth stadium back then. hasn't moved a centimeter.

was there today as well, for me it was probably easier since I live about one and a half hours away from nuremburg. Standing up there is honestly a really weird feeling knowing what happened there not even a century ago

I've been there! 2019 was such a nice year. The museum was alright though i liked the Nurnberg Trials museum more. We never explored the grounds though! Thank you for this.

I understand being ashamed of your heritage, but at one point or another people gotta aknowledge history cant be erased/forgotten. Very awesome educational video Iron thank you!

Wow!
