Very well written, thorough article. Has anyone thought of a FA nomination, or might it be too long? --Impaciente 08:22, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

It could be shorter. The section on slave labour is too speculative and not close enough to the topic for an encyclopedia article. --213.39.207.184 16:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Interesting article. Alexander 007 02:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Okay, how long have you been reading at the Nazi Architecture webpage for awhile now ?

Who do we report 69.192.205.46 too for deleting the full Nazi Architecture webpage ??

[edit] Romanesque

I removed Category:Nazi architecture from Category:Romanesque architecture and User:Endurance told me:

Nazi architecture is quite Romanesque please to your research before blindly deleting references. Endurance 01:40, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

I read quickly the article and see no mention and no relation to Romanesque. It could be argued that it is a variant of Neoclassicism, but if it is viewed as a branch of Romanesque, please state that in the article with an explanation. --Error 00:29, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Since when have the Greeks been the "alleged ancestors of the Germans"?

The Nazi's attempted to create a link between the Germans and the Greeks; however, this was a falsehood. Please read the Nazi architecture webpage for more information.

[edit] Copyright problems of associated articles

This is just a quick note to inform any interested parties that many articles related to this one were found to be copyright violations and have been blanked. Specifically, Das Schwarze Korps, House of German Art, Neville Henderson, Zeppelin field, Lustgarten and Thingplatz had to be blanked, and Ordensburg faced significant reversion. It is unfortunate that so much material was copyrighted, and I hope free content can be created to replace the lost articles. LizardWizard 05:16, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Update: User:WritersCramp has rewritten Das Schwarze Korps. Thanks! LizardWizard 19:10, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category Architecture

As this article is placed in both Category:Architectural styles and Category:Architectural history there is no need to put it into the uber Category:Architecture, which we are trying to cleanup. -- Dogears 00:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Please list the problem architecture and provide a citation to it's removal. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 21:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nazi Construction

This bit needs serious cleaning up. A number of the links link to the same building, and a number of the buildings were built long before the Nazi era.

Please list the problem architecture and provide a citation to it's removal. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 21:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy of List of Builders

I wouldn't exactly call Mies van der Rohe one of "Hitler's builders":

Nazi political pressure forced Mies to close the school, a victim of its previous association with socialism, communism, and other progressive ideologies. He built very little in that decade (his major built commission was Philip Johnson's New York apartment), his style rejected by the Nazis as not "German" in character. He left his homeland reluctantly in 1937 as he saw his opportunity for future building commissions vanish, accepting a residential commission in Wyoming and then an offer to head an architectural school in Chicago. (from Mies van der Rohe)

I have removed him from the list. Perhaps someone should check the other names. Selfinformation 22:59, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fritz Hoger

Why is Fritz Höger in the list? He supported the Nazis and he practised architecture in Nazi Germany, but that does not in any meaningful sense make him a "Nazi architect". Has the author got a source for this? Höger's style was expressionist, not neo-classicist or völkisch. Höger failed to gain an appointment as a state architect under the Nazis. --213.39.207.184 16:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images?

This article is definitely in need of some illustrations... I'm not an expert, but I think an article on architecture should at least provide some examples. Selfinformation 12:58, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Check the articles history, there use to be many old pics, but the administrators deleted them. Porky Pig 17:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contents

Why does the "contents" frame appear in the middle of the article? Selfinformation 13:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

to the left side for me SirIsaacBrock 22:43, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I mean not at the beginning, vertically... Selfinformation 01:18, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One Picture?!?!

For the love of god this is a very long and detailed article but there is only one relativly small picture of the top of a piller to illustrate the point!? Come on whoever spent so much time writing the article can most certainly find images of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.246.51.216 (talk • contribs) .

Given that Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, it might be better to put some work into the article yourself rather than criticizing others who have already put a lot of effort into it. Your time is most certianly better spent helping to improve the article rather than complaining about the work of other people. So go ahead and contribute photos to the article. Just make sure their use on Wikipedia does not violate Wikipedia:Copyrights. --Skeezix1000 12:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images and copyright issues

I see that there is a call going out here for images. I have some, but here is the issue. One of my books, A Nation Builds: Contemporary German Architecture was published in 1940 by the German Library of Information, NY NY and the other, Architektur Und Bauplastik der Gergenwart by Werner Rittich was published by [as far as I can tell] Rembrandt-Verlag G.M.B.H., Berlin in 1938. I have tried to track down and/or figure out the copyright issues here and am sort of ending up at some sort of Fair Use listing - but i need help on this. So, feel free to pich in, drop me a line or something. Carptrash 18:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
