		Berlin's Olympic Stadium is being refurbished in keeping with its listed building status while also incorporating facilities to enable it to cater for the demands of a contemporary events arena.
		The stadium, originally designed by architect, Werner March, was built between 1934 and 1936 for the 1936 Olympic Games, replacing the "German Stadium", designed by Werner March's father, Otto March.
		In order to solve the inherent conflict between the wideness of the multifunctional track and field stadium and the density of the monofunctional football arena, the chosen solution was to lower the playing field by 2.65m.

		To ensure that the racing track could still be used, March built the oval stadium in a hollow in the ground as an "earth stadium".
		The largest sports stadium in the world at the time (40000 spectators) was a modern reinforced concrete structure with bombastic historical architecture; it was especially used for ceremonial and military purposes.
		Other facilities were a hockey stadium, a riding stadium, a swimming stadium and the extensive complex of the German sports forum; the smooth integration of these facilities into the overall complex shows the continuity of the monumental architectural style from the 1920s into the National Socialist period.

	IORR - Berlin Olympic Stadium review
		Here in the Berlin Olympic stadium-by now having become slightly dilapidated and in need of repair-the opening concert of the B2B tour was supposed to have taken place on May 22nd, 1998.
		We arrived at the old (1936) Olympic stadium at 15.45 (I met Maarten again with whom I went to the opening show in Nuremberg).
		Berlin was the best concert for me, because of the weather, the audience and above all the first time I saw our boys again since 95.

		Looking at Berlin's Olympic Stadium and anticipating the ever-nearing FIFA Soccer World Cup 2006, you cannot help but think of how this structure is coming to represent positive historical change in modern Germany.
		These buildings suffered little damage during World War II - the Olympia Stadium is one of the few Nazi-built structures still intact and in use - and after the war, the United Kingdom used them as its headquarters during the military occupation and right on up until 1994.
		But in a bid to explain the Olympic Stadium's dark side, there is now a permanent museum near the main entrance and dozens of informative, historical plaques throughout the venue.

		My great-aunt was to create a mural in the city hall of Berlin's Schöneberg district, but the start of the war prevented the work from ever having been created.
		I doubt that the majority of people attending events at the stadium would know that these were created during the Nazi era.
		I am in favor of the preservation with the same arguments as Stephan Kramer (from the German Central Jewish council) because I think the Giordano-Rosh kind of exorcism is not compatible with a rational civilized behavior and in addition may have the opposite effect of what they naively intend.
