About this activity
Explore Nuremberg's pivotal role in WWII history through Courtroom 600, where the International Military Tribunal tried Nazi leaders (1945–46), and the sprawling former Nazi Party Rally Grounds—a haunting 4-square-mile complex designed to showcase regime power. This 4-hour guided tour connects physical sites with the legal reckoning that shaped modern international law.
The Major War Criminals Trial was held before the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg from November 20, 1945 to October 1, 1946. As a result of this trial, Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice gained worldwide notoriety. From 1946 to 1949, 12 "Subsequent Trials" were held in the same courtroom before exclusively U. S. American military tribunals. .
Still to this day, in the southeast corner of Nuremberg, the remains of structures located on the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds impress visitors with their immense proportions and stand as vivid testimony to the megalomania of the National Socialist regime. This area of 4 square miles was intended to be an impressive backdrop for the Nazi party rallies and serve to demonstrate their power not only to Germany, but to the entire world.
