Places of Memory, Historic Preservation, and Place Attachment in Nazi Germany

The Nazi Party launched a series of ambitious building programs soon after seizing power intended to achieve a comprehensive spatial reorganization of Germany. As part of these expansive building programs, the regime invested considerable time, effort, and resources in creating an archipelago of places of memory substantiating Nazi ideology and power. This commemorative topography stitched together a profusion of places and spaces into a totalitarian liturgy that glorified notions of struggle and sacrifice on behalf of Hitler and his movement. This article investigates how this topography of Nazi memory worked to translate intangible ideologies into tangible places and experiences, and in doing so, highlights the mutable and multifaceted relationships between places of memory, historic preservation, and place attachment
