The National Socialist Ordensburg Vogelsang

Eine Leseprobe finden Sie unter „http://verlag. sandstein. de/reader/98-246_Vogelsang-engl“ With approximately 100 hectares, the former Ordensburg Vogelsang Nordeifel is one of the largest building areas of the Nazi era. 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.”
