Tullio Cianetti Hall
The Tullio-Cianetti-Halle was a hall and event building in the city of the KdF-Wagen near Fallersleben , today's Wolfsburg . It was inaugurated on October 14, 1938. In the time of National Socialism it was used as an event center in the emerging automobile city.
description
The hall, actually a temporary solution, was built in wood in the area of today's Robert-Koch-Platz and offered space for 5000 visitors. In connection with the urban design for the emerging auto industrial city of Wolfsburg, it served as a benchmark and model for further projects. The hall was initially used for cultural purposes (e.g. film and theater screenings) and sporting events as well as for the numerous agitation and party events of the NSDAP .
In addition to its size, special features were a large swastika (symbol of the Nazi industrial workers) on the gable of the main facade. The building survived the bombing raids on Wolfsburg and the liberation on April 11, 1945. However, it was destroyed by a major fire on May 7, one day before the official end of the war.
It was named after the Italian Tullio Cianetti (1899–1976), who had been an active trade union representative in his home country since the 1920s. He made a party career under Benito Mussolini and negotiated in 1937 as President of the Italian Industrial Workers' Union with Robert Ley about the posting of Italian skilled workers to the German Reich.
