Reichsparteigelande (Nazi Party Rally Grounds)
From 1933 to 1938, the National Socialists held their Party Rallies in Nuremberg. Today remains of huge structures still bear witness to how this propaganda display was organized and produced.

Zeppelinfeld
In the years 1935 to 1937 the Zeppelinwiese was redesigned to a design by Albert Speer (1934) in a parade grounds with grandstands, with the built on the northeast side of the field Zeppelin grandstand as a dominant backdrop. It is the only completed building on the Reichsparteitagsgelände.
Nuremberg Palace of Justice
Please note that Palace of Justice is CLOSED ON TUESDAYS.
The building was the location of the Nuremberg trials that were held from 1945 to 1949 for the main surviving German war criminals of World War II. The Palace of Justice was chosen as the site of the trials because it was almost undamaged, offered sufficient space and included a large prison complex. The choice of the city of Nuremberg was symbolic as the Nazis had held large Nuremberg Rallies in the city.
The trials took place in courtroom number 600, situated in the eastern wing of the palace of Justice. The courtroom is still used, especially for murder trials. At the end of the Nuremberg Trials the courtroom was refurbished, and is now smaller. A wall that had been removed during the trials in order to create more space was re-erected. In addition, the judges’ bench was turned 90 degrees and is no longer situated in front of the window, but stands where the witness box was placed during the trials.

Zeppelin Field and the courthouse were the only worthwhile stops and we had to pay our own way into the courthouse. Whole tour was overpriced.

This was an interesting tour, with lots of details added by our guide. I didn't know that Adidas & Hugo Boss made boots & uniforms for the German Army. If you are interested in WW2 history then it is a must & even if you're not a history enthusiast, the tour is brought alive by the interesting information given. It would have been good to have a little more time at the Courtroom 600 exhibit but we decided to be taken back to our hotel by our guide, rather than opting to say goodbye to our guide at the Courtroom & make our way back by public transport. It was amazing to see how huge these sites were when they were in use.

The info that our guide told us to explain more than we were expecting than just the sites we were looking at. More time in the exhibition of courtroom 600 would have been better. We were offered this but chose to be taken back to our hotel rather than stay longer & come back by public transport.
