Berlin Olympic Stadium
The Olympic Stadium was made in 1933 on Hitler's orders. Hitler wanted to impress the whole world and when in 1936 the Olympic Games came to Berlin, a new stadium was built. The Nazis abused the Games with lots of propaganda.The Olympic Stadium "die Ausstellung" shows the construction of the stadium and follows it until nowadays. It even shows projections and models for the future.With the support of the Emperor Wilhelm II, the first plans for the constructions of a German Stadium appeared in 1907. The official opening took place in 1913 as part of the celebration to mark Emperor Wilhelm II's jubilee. The stadium, with a capacity of 30.000 spectators, was intended to encourage the people in sporting activities and to promote the construction of further sports facilities. The architect Otto March (1845-1913) built it on the site of the Grunenwald Racecourse and it was named the Grunewald Stadium. Inside the Stadium March built a cycling track around the outside of the cinder track and placed a swimming pool on the north part
