From the relics of the central building of the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds, Ulrike Hauffe and Johannes Pechstein will reveal interesting facts about the building’s history and the function of the site. From Luitpoldhain
the tour leads to the Congress Hall (Kongresshalle) and the Documentation Centre of the Nazi Party Rally Grounds (Doku-Zentrum), currently under reconstruction. The tour then continues to the arcade, along the “Große Straße” to Silberbuck, the Nuremberg Stadium and the Zeppelintribüne. The public will learn what took place at these sites between 1933 and 1938 during the annual Nazi Party Rallies in September, how the sites were used before and especially after the Nazi era, and who visits them today.
For the younger audience, the Haus des Spiels, in cooperation with Noris-Liga e.V., offers a free online workshop “8bit – just nerd things” from 2 to 5 pm. With 8bit works of art made of perler beads, keys, smartphones and the like can be creatively embellished. All you need is an iron, everything else – from instructions and perler beads to baking paper and pendant ribbons – are in craft kits, which can be picked up at Haus des Spiels, Egidienplatz 23, until Friday, 14 May. As the number of sets is limited, prior registration by email to norisliga@gmail.com is required. The workshop itself will take place on the Discord channel of the Noris League: https://discord.gg/zVDqcCHDYK. A registration on Discord is required.
