The Weimar Atrium is a shopping center on the northern edge of downtown Weimar . It was opened in 2005 and is located in the former hall of the national community .
history
The Weimar Atrium is located in the unfinished former hall of the Volksgemeinschaft , which was to be built as part of the Weimar Gauforum . It should be planned as one of the largest rally and meeting places of National Socialism in Thuringia and the center of the Gauforum, where the national community should be sworn to Adolf Hitler . A wooden model was set up for the laying of the foundation stone in 1937. The construction work on the hall was canceled in 1944 during the Second World War and the concrete-steel skeleton of the hall remained unfinished and unused as a memorial until 1969. In 1973 construction work began to convert the building into the “multi-purpose building” (MZG) and ended in 1976 with the completion of the concrete lamellar facade. Various companies use the MZG as a storage and production facility, including the nationwide “ Exquisit ” warehouse . At that time there was already a small bowling alley in the basement of the building. After the fall of the Wall, the MZG was still used for offices and storage rooms. In 2004, the conversion of the MZG into the Weimar Atrium began and ended in 2005 with the opening of the shopping center. There is little to see of the unfinished hall of the Volksgemeinschaft today, apart from the prestressed concrete girders in the roof.
