Go for Gold: Abandoned Olympic Venues
| January 8, 2018
Olympic Village – Berlin
This abandoned village has historical significance, dilapidated buildings, and a dark past. The Olympic Village in Berlin was built in preparation of the 1936 Olympic Games, which is now known as Hitler’s Olympic Games. Germany had received the Olympic bid in 1931, a few years before the Nazis gained control of the country.
While in power, Hitler realized the significance of the world stage and funneled a spectacular amount of money into hosting the Games. Though it was once an incredible feat of modern engineering, what’s often referred to as Hitler’s Olympic Village is now just 135-acres of caved in roofs and graffiti on the outskirts of Berlin.
