Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds

Temporary exhibition whilst work is being done. So much information 🤯 it's hard to take it all in. Although the guides informed us that the we started at the back of the room & came back towards the entrance/ exit ( original entrance would have been at the opposite end of this room) it was easy enough to see where it started, 'Start' signs helped! There was a good video to begin, but there seemed to be no obvious order to the rest of the exhibit. Some people went clockwise whilst others didn't & it wasn't always apparent where to go next. Maybe it didn't really matter, but as many of these events had specific dates, it may have made some sense to guide people around chronologically...so much information it's hard enough to take it all in but you're then trying to remember what you might have read previously although it happened later 🤔 Shame that more of the Congress Hall couldn't be seen. I hope some day we'll be able to come back & see the results of the current works.

It's my second time visiting this complex and I can highly recommend it. This time, I found out that the museum itself has been closed for several years already due to extensive renovations. Unfortunately this wasn't very clear online and when you get there the signage isn't very clear either - we walked right past the containerized ticket booth because when you walk towards the building from the parking lot, you can't see the signage. However, visiting the special exhibition was worth it. It's immensely important to expose yourself to our history - maybe one day we will learn?

It was closed due to a rock concert. With all the camped attendees, it was a bit on the nose

It was temporarily closed when I visited. If you want to see it reopened, go in 2026.

In May 2025, the temporary exhibition was thin and informative for only those who knew nothing about the Nazi experience in Nuremberg. Opportunities to see the Congress Hall were closed off. The grandstand of the Nazi Rally Ground was inaccessible, and the grandstand was overgrown with weeds and littered with broken beer bottles and other litter. Still, TripAdvisor touts these deplorable unmaintained sites. The Ehrenhalle site is in good shape architecturally and popular with drinkers who litter.

Nice place beside a beautiful lake . Very nice historical place.

Worth a visit. They are currently renovating and I expect that the updated museum will be excellent. No real signage for the other outdoor paths and buildings. We saw the interim exhibit and it was quite complete. €5 cash to park. Couple this site with the Nuremberg Court Rooms. (Make sure to pay the street parking fee as a whole line of cars got ticketed outside the court room.)

The scale of the parade ground is quite unimaginable
