The legacy of Nazi Germany's architectural relics
Between 1933 and 1936, dozens of Thingstätte, or amphitheaters, were erected as propagandistic open-air theaters and meeting places by the Nazi regime. While many of these amphitheaters are barely known today, they can still be found throughout Germany, Poland and Russia. Here, scholars and artists assess the relevance of these architectural specimens for the future.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS
former Visuals Editor at the New Yorker
Elisabeth Biondi
THINGSSTAETTEN is an extraordinary photographic project that defies easy categorization. It is rich in so many ways—brilliant conception, extraordinary historic exploration, intelligent interpretation, variety of photography, intellectual rigor, and artistic cooperation. I applaud Katarina Bosse, the driving force of this rich and eye-opening project, who together with her exceptional team of collaborator created this truly unique book project.
Conscientious
Thingstätten is a great example of what a deeply researched photobook can offer. What is more, the interdisciplinary mix of contributors demonstrates what can be gained by photographers when they collaborate with writers and other artists.
