Berlin's Teufelsberg to be excavated

the_historian · 01-07-2007, 10:53 AM

I read an article on this in yesterday's Daily Express, but can't seem to find it online.
Anyway, it seems that the remain's of Hitler's War Academy in Berlin is to be excavated by archaeologists.

I only learnt of the Rubble mounds existences in various german cities over the last couple of years and I'm fascinated by them (there's a more general term but I can't for the life of me remember it??), hope the enquiries go well.

Anyone seen any more on this archaeology at the Devil mountain? (Gordon or Capt.S perhaps?) I can only find snippets on the web.

Cheers,
Adam.

Here is a link to info on the proposed City that Hitler wanted to "replace" Berlin with.

I love the story that is told about the proposals for the Volkshalle. Speer relates that the Basilica was so big that Luftwaffe Technicians were constantly baffled about the problem of indoor precipitation!!!!

Nope, not a sausage. Like the sound of the German undergound explorers mob, bit like our own Subterranea Britanica, bloody heroes!
