Berlin's 3 Nazi-era Neoclassicist buildings survive as documents of architecture deployed as political propaganda. Ernst Sagebiel's Detlev-Rohwedder-Haus — originally the Reich Aviation Ministry — is the largest surviving Nazi government building, its endless limestone facade designed to project state power through sheer repetition. Werner March's Olympic Stadium, built for the 1936 Games with Albert Speer's involvement, used classical colonnades and monumental axes to stage the regime's self-image.
Richard Ermisch's Messe Berlin Main Hall completes the set with exhibition architecture at an authoritarian scale. These buildings remain in active use — a deliberate Berlin strategy of confronting rather than erasing the architectural legacy of the Third Reich.
