Estimate value
€ 900
Ein Entwurf der nordöstlichen Partie der Bauten am "Großen Platz in Berlin", Reichshauptstadt Germania 1942: eine Fotografie eines Modelles von Albert Speer, hier sollten Grünflächen entstehen mit Baumgruppen, Wasserspielen und Skulpturen nach Art der Gartenanlagen des 18. Jahrhunderts, hinten beschriftet und gestempelt "Staatliche Bildstelle Berlin", geknickt, Maße ca. 38 x 59 cm. Dazu eine nahe Bildaufnahme der Bauten am "Großen Platz" 1942, eine maßstabsgetreue Nachbildung des Reichstagsgebäudes: die kupfergedeckte Kuppel hätte 230 Meter hoch über der Stadt geragt. Mit Abdeckfolie, farblich den Hintergrund dunkler darstellend. Hinten mit Anmerkungen Speers sowie einem "Zeit-Magazin"-Stempel, da dieses Bild wohl im Magazin abgebildet wurde, Maße ca. 29 x 32 cm.
Speers Plan sah vor, die Stadt mit zwei großen Verkehrsachsen von Norden nach Süden und Westen nach Osten zu durchziehen. Den Knotenpunkt sollte die Reichskanzlei bilden. Hauptbestandteil des "Germania-Modells" war die "Ruhmeshalle". Der Kuppelbau aus Granit und Marmor sollte als Kult- und Versammlungsstätte Raum für bis zu 180.000 Menschen bieten. Im Frühjahr 1943 wurden die Arbeiten aufgrund der Kriegslage jedoch eingestellt.
Provenienz: Aus Familienbesitz.

Albert Speer - design sketches for the Reichstag Chancellery at the "Großer Platz in Berlin" and for the large axis (tr.) "The quarter of museums and theatres", 1942
Design sketch of the north-eastern part of the buildings at the "Großer Platz in Berlin", Reich capital of Germania 1942: photograph of a model by Albert Speer, showing green spaces with groups of trees, fountains and sculptures in the style of 18th-century gardens, the reverse with inscription and stamp "Staatliche Bildstelle Berlin", bent, dimensions approx. 38 x 59 cm. Comes with a close-up photograph of the buildings at the "Großer Platz" 1942, a replica true to scale of the Reichstag building: the copper-clad cupola was meant to tower 230 metres above the city. With cover foil, giving the background a darker colour. On the reverse with notes by Speer and a "Zeit-Magazin" stamp, as this picture was probably printed in a magazine, dimensions approx. 29 x 32 cm.Speer’s plan for the city included two broad traffic arteries on the north-south and the east-west axes; the two were to intersect at the Reich Chancellery. The most important component of the "Germania model" was the "Hall of Fame". This domed building of granite and marble was supposed to function as a place of worship for the Nazi cult and an assembly hall, accommodating as many as 180,000 people. Work was halted in the spring of 1943 on account of the military situation.
