Description
The 'Schwerbelastungskörper' is a fascinating and sobering piece of history that offers a glimpse into Hitler's grandiose plans for Berlin during the Third Reich. This 12,650 ton concrete block, built in 1941, was intended to be a base piece for a massive triumphal arch as part of the 'world capital Germania' project. Located in the no man's land between Schöneberg and Tempelhof, this listed building serves as a haunting reminder of Nazi architecture in Berlin. A visit to this site provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the city's past and the impact of historical events on its urban landscape. Sources like ExBerliner have also recommended Schwerbelastungskörper in Tempelhof.
