Here we still find remnants of Albert Speer's former plans to make Berlin the world capital Germania. In the Third Reich, gigantic buildings were to be erected around the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag. At this point, today's Straße des 17. Juni as an east-west axis should cross another north-south axis. However, only these curbs, which can still be seen, were realised. After the Nazi reign of terror, Berlin lay in ruins.

This gigantomania is very well presented in a museum in Berlin.
