Nuemberg Rallies

The Nuremberg Rally was the annual rally of the Nazi Party in the years 1923 to 1938 in Germany. The first rallies took place in 1923 in Munich and in 1926 in Weimar. From 1927 on, they ran exclusively in Nuremberg. Especially after Hitler's rise to power in 1933, they were big propaganda events. Nuremberg was situated in the centre of Germany and was well suited as a venWAW ue. In addition, the Nazis had a well organized local party in Franconia and the Nuremberg police were sympathetic to the event. Later, the location was justified by putting it into the tradition of the Reichstag in the Holy Roman Empire. After 1933, they were held in the first half of September under the label of "national party congress of the German people", meant to symbolize solidarity with the people. This point was further emphasized by the yearly growing number of participants, which finally reached over half a million members from all sections of the party, the army and the state.
