In some footages of the inauguration of Haus der Kunst in Munich, is very Hitler placing inside of inaugural monolitic or structure,( outside the building) a capsule of time.
Any idea about this capsule?? Still there ? Missing in war? Contents??
Apreciate in advance

This is a very interesting question, so I thought I'd raise it up again. And there must have been similar time capsules set into the cornerstones of new NSDAP buildings such as the Führerbau, the Verwaltungsbau, the Temples of Honor and the RZM Building in Munich, the New Reichschancellery and the Air Ministry Building in Berlin, and any of the other regional Gauhauptamt buildings throughout Germany and Austria...and were there any cornerstone contents found when the Seidler Office Building, the Borsig Palace, the Old Reichschancellery, the Foreign Ministry, the President's Palace or the Propaganda Ministry Building were demolished? Great questions...hope there are some great answers, too!!

Very interesting stills! Does the film say into which building's foundation this time capsule was being prepared for?

Many thanks,

HAUS DER KUNST in Munich. House of culture, and the building still there in one piece, not affected for bombings during war.
The event of the time capsule was somehow eclipsed, because, after the block was cement closed by workers, Hitler use a silver hammer for formal opening inauguration, and when he hit the top of the spot, the hammer broke in two, so was a sort of embarrasing moment, but both events, the time capsule depositing as well the hammeting was film recorded.

Has the time capsule in the HDK ever been opened since it was set in place?
