The olympic stadium is one of the model examples of the megalomaniacal Nazi architecture. It has remained strong until today and refuses to weaken of old age despite all of the Hertha home football games and music events held there. The former Olympic village hasn’t held up quite as well though, roughly 20km west of the limits of Berlin in Brandenburg. After the Second World War the Red Army took over the previous athletes housing until the soldiers fully withdrew in 1992. Since then the property has been mostly abandoned and has deteriorated to a great extent. A tour throughout the ruins is worth it regardless or precisely because of the history which comes to life here in an eerie way.
