The Thingstätte is an open-air theater that was completed in 1936, but from 1936 it was called "Feierstätte" and therefore never used as a Thingstätte. The grandstand offered space for around 800 people, as well as cross aisles for marches up and down. Nevertheless, this open-air stage fulfilled its function as a monumental meeting place for the National Socialists.
