München HBF
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.
This is one of the "main" buildings along the planned street axis leading toward the historical city center. The train station was meant to be a gigantical entrance to the city. It was first planned by the architect Hermann Rheinhard Alker as a "end" station where the street would have ended, later an unknown worker of the german railway construction company had the idea of building a circular train station. This idea was then taken up by the Architect Hermann Giesler who, at the same time, had taken up the full coordination of rebuilding munich.
Then he started a planning challenge along many german architects and companies involving MAN, DEMAG, Peter Birkenholz or Krupp. The winner of this contest was the planning bureau Klönne, who suggested a giant cupola made of steel. The planning progessed until later in the war, when Hitler ordered the planning of a giant new railway, with a gauge of 3 metre. This meant that the cupola - which had alone then 265 metre in diameter- had to be made bigger.
The final design was never finished because of the end of the war and the fall of the national socialist rule.
Here is one of many suggestions, of this building.
We chose to build the version with 265 blocks in diameter because of practical reasons, that are obvious.
Please be advised!
This is only done for documentation reasons, not to support the ideology the buildings were planned to support.
