The redesigned Königsplatz would be a vast square intended to hold a million people. The Führer’s Palace on its western side would face the Reichstag, augmented by a new addition. The northern end of the square would be dominated by an enormous hall capped by a dome 825 feet in diameter, rising to a height of 954 feet. This proposed building’s volume was sixteen times that of St. Peter’s cathedral in Rome. Its main purpose was to hold a crowd of more than 150,000 that would stand and hear Hitler speak.
