By 1940 there were many well-known architects in Germany like Albert Speer, Hermann Giesler, Paul Ludwig Troost, Ludwig Ruff, Wilhelm Kreis, Konrad Dammeier, Hugo Röttcher, Ernst Sagebiel, Werner March, Peter Koller, Hans Malwitz, Wolfgang Binder, Fritz Tamms, Paul Bonatz, Hans Freese, and others. They had created architectural wonders unimaginable in any country other than the Third Reich Germany of Adolf Hitler.
The Generalbauinspektor (General Building Inspector) for the Reichshauptstadt (Capital of the Nation), Professor Albert Speer, ordered the publication of a book on those architectural creations as well as sculptures by Kurt Schmid-Ehmen and Arno Breker. Rudolf Wolters assembled such a book. It was called Neue Deutsche Baukunst (The New German Art of Building), Speer wrote the introduction for it and it was first published by Volk und Reich Verlag in Berlin in 1940.
The book we offer here is a very good Second Edition example of the Wolters book from 1941. The 9-1/4 x 12-1/4 inch, hardcover book has only nine pages of text followed by 88 pages of big, incredibly detailed photographs of the best architectural work done in Germany to that time.
Subjects include Berlin’s new Tempelhof Airport, the 1936 Olympic Stadium, Hitler’s Office in Munich, the New Reichschancellery, Ordensburg Sonthofen, Reichsautobahn Bridges, the New Berlin, the City of the Hermann Göring Werke, KdF Ship “Robert Ley, an Officer Kasino of the Luftwaffe, the Oberkommando des Heeres Headquarters, the Freikorps Monument, Adolf Hitler Square in Dresden, NSDAP High School Chiemsee, Unter Den Linden, the German Stadium in Nürnberg, the House of German Art in München (Munich), monumental eagles and statues, etc.
This 80+ year old hardcover example of Neue deutsche Baukunst is complete and in very nice condition, with a tight spine and no odor. Only the cover shows minor wear, the content is in amazing condition.
