Berlin’s Olympiastadion, originally built for the 1936 Olympic Games, will host the European Championship final between Spain and England. The stadium, designed under Adolf Hitler’s influence, was intended as a Nazi propaganda tool.
NAZI stadium
It still bears WWII scars but also symbolizes Germany’s democratic rebirth, hosting matches in the 1974 and 2006 World Cups. Architect Werner March drew inspiration from Rome’s Colosseum, creating a dramatic entrance with flagpoles and trees to heighten visitors’ expectations. The stadium, now a historical landmark, bridges Germany’s dark past and its journey towards democracy and unity.
