Group photo at the Zeppelin Grandstand

The speaker's podium at the Zeppelin Grandstand is a popular photo site with visitors. From 1933 to 1938, the Zeppelin Field was one of the primary sites for the Nuremberg Nazi Party Rallies, and thus the setting for elaborate propaganda events at which Adolf Hitler was portrayed as the leader, or "Führer," of a "community of the People" – not least of all by means of an architectural vocabulary. Consequently the view being photographed here – with a whole group of people filling the podium instead of just one "Führer" – represents an ironic contrast to the site's original concept.
