Notes
The Congress Hall was built to hold 50 000 people for rallies of the Nazi Party. It was supposed to be fully covered by a roof, but was never finished due to the conquest of Nuremberg by American troops. It was part of a large area known as the Nazi Party Rally Grounds. The design height was 68 m.
