Like most large Nazi buildings it was never actually finished. Even so, the space testifies that it was—as well as the Ordensburgen in Krössinsee and Sonthofen—a political structure: Even today the dominating architecture is clear. It served as the self-portrait of National Socialism and its aim to dominate over man and nature. The booklet offers a concise, richly illustrated overview of the site. This handy volume gives a brief historical overview and accompanies the individual tour of the site, based on the themes of the permanent exhibition “Determination: Herrenmensch. Nazi-Ordensburgen between fascination and crime.”
