Albert Speers’ plans for the government complex on a north-south axis in Berlin. The red ones are the ones the Third Riech actually built. To give you perspective for that massive dome (the Volkshalle), that tiny purple building next to it is the Riechstag. If I remember correctly, it would have been bigger than most modern sports arenas, been 25+ stories tall, and made of stone.

Been there, done that.

Would have been interesting to see how the Germans would have decorated the inside of that giant thing.

I imagine a lot like the Vatican, except with Germans

Sorry, correction: the podium the dome sits on would have been 25+ stories tall; the entire building would have been closer to 100 stories tall.

And the dome of St. Peter’s in the Vatican would have fit inside the little cupola on top.

If you’ve ever seen how big the German parliament building is already, you would know that everything on this plan, would have been monumental in scale.

The whole thing probably would’ve been collapsed quiet fast, because Berlin is built on mostly weak soil. There are alot of buildings here, that are sinking all the time and this dome would’ve been extremely heavy. Sad Hitler…
