Fascist architecture in Germany

Fascist architecture in Germany, primarily during the Nazi era (1930s-1940s), reflected the regime’s ideology of power, order, and nationalism. It featured grand, imposing structures with symmetrical designs, large-scale proportions, and minimal ornamentation to convey strength and permanence. Buildings like the Nazi rally grounds and the new Reich Chancellery exemplify this style, aiming to inspire awe and demonstrate authority. The architecture was often monumental and austere, designed to promote unity and showcase the regime’s dominance. It remains a significant historical example of how architecture can serve political and ideological purposes.
