Abstract

Meant to serve as a “place of cultural interest of German nature”, the Tannenberg national monument at the Hohenstein in East Prussia, erected in 1926/7, does not longer exist; in January 1945, it was blown up by the retreating Wehrmacht and subsequently forgotten. With his book, Jürgen Tietz aims to revive interest in the memorial. He reconstructs its history from a architectural point of view, paying especial interest to motifs and their history. Furthermore, he examines the public uses of the building and its various functions as a place of commemoration as well as contemporary memorial sites.
