This richly illustrated book details the wide-ranging construction
and urban planning projects launched across Germany after the Nazi
Party seized power. Hagen and Ostergren show that it was far more
than just an architectural and stylistic enterprise. Instead, it
was a series of interrelated programs intended to thoroughly
reorganize Germany’s economic, cultural, and political
landscapes. The authors trace the specific roles of its component
parts—the monumental redevelopment and cleansing of cities; the
construction of new civic landscapes for educational, athletic, and
leisure pursuits; the improvement of transportation, industrial,
and military infrastructures; and the creation of networked
landscapes of fear, slave labor, and genocide. Through distinctive
examples, the book draws out the ways in which combinations of
place, space, and architecture were utilized as a cumulative means
of undergirding the regime and its ambitions. The authors consider
how these reshaped spaces were actually experienced and perceived
by ordinary Germans, and in some cases the world at large, as the
regime intentionally built a new Nazi Germany.
