KDF-Hotel

Within the NS-era in Germany, the national-socialists planned the reconstruction of many cities. One of the most through planned ones is München, then also called "Hauptstadt der Bewegung", ("Capital of the Movement"). From 1934 on, the reconstruction began. First not with an common plan for the full city, later on much bigger scale. This is a project on documenting those megalomanian building plans.

The KDF (Kraft durch Freude) was a substitue organization for the banned labor unions in Germany during the national-socialist rule.

This Hotel is one of many planned for vacations organized fully by the state to "help" the workers. Of course those were intended to help keep control of the population.

In Munich this hotel was to be planned by the Architekt Ernst Sagiebel and was placed near the main station along the broad main axis.
