Regatta Grandstand — The 1936 Olympic Games

Today's regatta grandstand is a relic from the time of the National Socialist dictatorship: a time when sport served as a propaganda tool as well as physical training in preparation for war. Learn about the gender roles and body images idealized by the Nazi regime and how these were used to exclude and persecute marginalized groups. This station also includes a commentary by museum director Veronika Springmann on the role of the Berlin Sports Museum in this discourse today.
