The Volkshalle

Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

I have a soft spot for Albert Speer's architecture and decided to create a model of his famous 'Volkshalle'. This is not 100% accurate, as the models I used as a reference all differed somewhat. Never the less, enjoy! The Volkshalle (“People's Hall”), also called Große Halle (“Great Hall”) or Ruhmeshalle (“Hall of Glory”), was a huge domed monumental building planned by Adolf Hitler and his architect Albert Speer for Germania in Berlin. The project was never realized. The word Volk had a particular resonance in Nazi thinking. The term völkisch movement, which can be translated to English as 'the people's movement' or 'the folkish movement', derives from Volk but also implies a particularly racial undertone. Before the First World War, völkisch thought had developed an attitude to the arts as the German Volk; that is, from an organically linked Aryan or Nordic community (Volksgemeinschaft), racially unpolluted and with its roots in the German soil of the Heimat (homeland). Feel free to use in your own creations, I only ask for acknowledgment should you upload. I encourage anyone and everyone to contact me.
