| The Heidelberger "Thingstätte"......is an open-air stage on the 'Heiligenberg' over 'Heidelberg' built in the time of the national socialism after the model of antique Greek theaters as "Thingstätte". In the 56 rows of spectators, which rise 25 meters at an angle, 20,000 people were seated at the opening.After the Second World War, the "Thingstätte" signposted as a celebration site was largely forfeited. For several years, the US Army American congregation in Heidelberg held their Easter solstice celebration on the "Thingstätte". Meanwhile, the plant is a listed building and has become a popular destination. |
