Nazi Focus at the Architekturzentrum Wien

PRESS RELEASE
Three different programmes in mid-September approach the subject of Nazi ideology and architecture. The aim is to trigger off a long overdue reflection on the taboo presence of the Nazi architectural legacy. A serious basis to address the topic has been created for the first time, as The Bundesdenkmalamt (the national conservation authorities) is currently in the process of documenting the buildings completed in the Nazi era, for the first time since the War.

In the symposium Heritage Rejected – a collaboration between the Architekturzentrum Wien and the Bundesdenkmalamt – experts analyse and discuss the issues involved.

The exhibition The Atlantic Wall is dedicated to other remains of Nazi architecture, and shows the vast scale of the defensive wall along the Atlantic coastline running from France to Norway built by the
Germany military.

The sundays excursion visits examples of Nazi architecture in Vienna.
