Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Welthauptstadt Germania Welthauptstadt ("World Capital") Germania was the name Adolf Hitler gave to the projected renewal of the German capital Berlin, part of his vision for the future of Germany after the planned victory in World War II. Albert Speer, "the first architect of the Third Reich", produced many of the plans for the rebuilt city, only a few of which were realized. Since there are no other references to the term "Welthauptstadt Germania" other than Albert Speer's autobiography, it is nowadays disputed whether the term was actually used by Hitler or if it had been made up by Speer himself. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Welthauptstadt_Germania   (636 words)

Ohnehin darf die technische Realisierbarkeit, insbesondere mit Blick auf den ungeheuren Marmor- und Granitbedarf, welcher, wenn überhaupt, nur in einem unterworfenen Europa durch ein Heer von Sklavenarbeitern gedeckt werden könnte, getrost angezweifelt werden.

Germania: Hitler's Big Plans for Berlin - Gridskipper, the Urban Travel Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) One of Hitler's favorite daydreams was a new, rechristened Berlin -- Welthauptstadt Germania, the worthy and illustrious capital of the One Thousand Year Reich. Together with pet architects like Albert Speer, the Führer liked to unwind from a hard day of military disaster on the Russian Front by plotting the lovely Germania, where everything was monumental, marble-plated, and situated on a boulevard at least a mile wide. Possibly the only jewel in Germania's bombastic crown: Ernst Sagebiel took the helm in 1937 and designed a sweeping, 3/4 mile long terminal building that had the plain, classic lines to which the Nazis aspired,… and somehow made lighter and more elegant than their other clumsy efforts. gridskipper.com /travel/berlin/germania-hitlers-big-plans-for-berlin-280605.php   (1149 words)

Germania In the Roman era Germania was the Latin name for a geographical area that stretched from the west bank of the Rhine to a vaguely-defined eastern frontier with the forest and Steppe regions of modern Russia and Ukraine. Germania was defined by Rome as having two regions: 'the inner Germania', west and south of the Rhine, occupied by the Romans, and 'the free Germania' east of the Rhine. The occupied Germania was divided into two provinces: Germania Inferior (approximately corresponding to the southern part of the present-day Low Countries) and Germania Superior (approximately corresponding to present-day Switzerland and Alsace). www.ufaqs.com /wiki/en/ge/Germania.htm   (221 words)

Germania Airlines "Germania" is also used in the present, sometimes, to refer to all the lands inhabited by Germanic peoples, much like "Romania" (when not referring to the country) and "Slavia." Hitler hoped to make Berlin into a new and great city he would call ''Welthauptstadt Germania'' (World-capital Germania). Germania Inferior had had Roman settlements since approximately 50 BC and was at first part of Gallia Belgica; it was established as a Roman province in the year 90, later becoming an Imperial province. Germania Superior was established as an Imperial Roman province in 90. www.artistbooking.com /trips/68/germania-airlines.html   (1739 words)

Was ist Welthauptstadt Germania?

Gridskipper Architecture, the Urban Travel Guide Ten years after his election as Chancellor, Germany's cities lay in ruins and, by war's end, Berlin had been crushed beneath Allied bombing and pulverized by Soviet artillery. In prewar plans for Germania, their gargantuan rebuilding of Berlin, Hitler and architect Albert Speer developed a "Theory of Ruin Value" proposing that the monumental buildings of the new German capital be constructed so as to leave heroic ruins for generations hundreds or thousands of years hence. Like the Roman and Greek cities before them, the impressive ruins of Berlin (and Munich, which Hitler also planned to "improve") would be testament to the greatness of the Thousand Year Reich. www.gridskipper.com /travel/architecture   (1182 words)

Berlin, New Hampshire During this period Adolf Hitler had great plans to transform Berlin, because he thought that Berlin was one of the ugliest cities in the world, and he hated it. The project was to finish in 1950, and Berlin was to be re-named "Germania" on that occasion. Hermann Göring's Reichsluftfahrtministerium (National Ministry of Aviation), Tempelhof International Airport, Olympiastadion, and a series of street lights on the East-West Axis on Kaiserdamm and Straße der 17 Juni are all that remain. creekin.net /c308-n234-berlin-new-hampshire.html   (3190 words)
