It has a ''secret garden" feel to it.

Well said Canada! History is important no matter where it comes from. My grandfather was a merchant marine during WWII and he remembered very well what Europe looked like at the time and it wasn't pretty. But being able to go back to all these locations and seeing the beauty in them shows how far the younger generations have come (at least some of them, that is).

Sorry binabinaaa it was built for the Nazi.
From the thirdreichruins site:

"opened officially on 22 June 1935 by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Speaking to a crowd of 20,000 people, Goebbels called the Thingstätte a "veritable church of the Reich.""

You know Pegasus64, from what Motts wrote, "it was briefly used for Nazi propaganda",
The amount of time Hitler used these areas was very minute. Than they were used for various reasons by the average German citizen and I am sure not all of them agreed with everything Hitler was doing.
