Topics - Concept and Finance

In the exhibition "Fascination and Terror".

Financing and Sponsors

By June 1999, the financing of the project Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Grounds, estimated at DM 21 million, was finally secured. The Federal Republic of Germany, the Free State of Bavaria, along with the Bavarian State Foundation, the Region of Middle Franconia and the City of Nuremberg took on the largest portion of the investment costs and thus entered into joint responsibility for this task of national significance. The City of Nuremberg undertook to bear the running costs of the Documentation Centre.

Even after 2001, the permanent exhibition and the Education Forum have been sustainably sponsored by:

  • Bruno Schnell, publisher of the Nürnberger Nachrichten/Nürnberger Zeitung
  • Foundation for the Support of the Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Grounds
  • Nuremberg Savings Bank Cultural Foundation
  • "Future Foundation" of Nuremberg Savings Bank
  • Chamber of Commerce and Central Franconian Cultural Foundation
  • Bavarian Savings Banks Foundation
  • Lions Club Nürnberg-Noris e.V.
  • Bavarian Central Bank (Education Forum)
