was to the projected renewal of the German capital Berlin during the Nazi period, part of Adolf Hitler's vision for the future of Nazi Germany after the planned victory inWorld War II. Albert Speer, the "first architect of the Third Reich", produced many of the plans for the rebuilt city in his capacity as overseer of the project, only a small portion of which was realized between the years 1937 and 1943 when construction took place.
Some projects, such as the creation of a great East-West city axis, which included broadening Charlottenburger Chaussee (todayStraße des 17. Juni) and placing the Berlin victory column in the centre, far away from the Reichstag, where it originally stood, were completed. Others, however, such as the creation of the Große Halle (Great Hall), had to be shelved owing to the beginning of war. A great number of the old buildings in many of the planned construction areas were, however, demolished before the war, and eventually defeat stopped the plans.
At the northern end of the avenue on the site of the Königsplatz (now the Platz der Republik) there was to be a large open forum known as
Großer Platz with an area of around 350,000 square metres (3,767,369 square feet). This square was to be surrounded by the grandest buildings of all, with the Führer's palace on the west side on the site of the former Kroll Opera House, the 1894 Reichstag Building on the east side and the third Reich Chancellery and high command of the German Army on the south side (on either side of the square's entrance from the
Avenue of Splendours). On the north side of the plaza, straddling the River Spree, Speer planned to build the centrepiece of the new Berlin, an enormous domed building, the Volkshalle (
people's hall), designed by Hitler himself. It would still remain the largest enclosed space in the world had it been built. Although war came before work could begin, all the necessary land was acquired, and the engineering plans were worked out. The building would have been over 200 metres (656 feet) high and 250 metres (820 feet) in diameter, sixteen times larger than the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.

AHHHH MY GOOOOD
THIS PROJECT IS F***ING AMAZING
Hope it's not dead
I am a huge huge National Socialism history buff, and this is truly one of the best projects I have ever seen. I made a planet minecraft account to tell you. To see Germania come alive and in such detail and color is breathtaking. I hope that you complete the South-Axis one day and release this. You are truly skilled and talented and im humbled by this project and hope for the chance one day to explore this groundbreaking city.
Thank you & good luck
I will be following this :)
Of course, the Great Hall of the Reich Chancellery will be the most detailed .
2. I want to make as more as possible. Specifically, I want to make the main axis North-South.
HAHAHAHAHAhaha... ha?
No?
I'll see myself out.
To create this images I use a program such as Cinema 4d and Mine-imator.
cant wait to download it and see it for myself.
Very much respect for what you build.
Greetings to Russia from Germany,

Greetings from Germany!
Here is a picture from my version of the Germania project: http://imgur.com/83EFyUO
Let me just say one thing before I say goodbye from the discussion:
My grandfather died in World War II, my father was bullied as a child because he was not allowed to go into the Hitler Youth because my grandfather had fallen in Russia, shredded by shrapnel. My grandma had given the regime enough. This brave woman did Hitler not even give her eldest son.
My other grandfather came in 1947, nearly three years after the war, from Russian captivity. They had thought he would die anyway, so starved as he was. But he made it home.
My parents starved later in the postwar period too.
And we are Germans. We were the people of the perpetrators in this war.
Unimaginable what people of other nations have suffered under the yoke of the Nazis. The Nazis were inhumane Monsters and so these buildings are inhumane. Simply inhuman architecture.
If there would be this buildings today, no one could play Minecraft, no one would live in freedom and no one could say, what he thinks.
But it`s only architecture. More than 50 million deaths and their families would not call it simple architecture.
In addition, the builder makes a Nazi role play, where you take the role of a high-ranking Nazi.
There are so many great things that you can do. Nobody should enact or rebuild this horrible terror.
"The author is not supporting Nazism in anyway, this is purely for architectual recreation, nothing more."
to which you replied
"You're so right!"
and then suggested that it should be removed. But what he said is the reason why we aren't removing it.
