Always been pretty interested in seeing and hearing about this once great memorial. Ruins of the Reich does indeed offer a lot of great information about this, but this board offered a lot more too. Very much appreciative to those posting the photos on here as well (especially the recent ones JAJACEK). Does anyone have any possible thoughts on how one could get a brick or piece of whats left from this memorial? It's obviously the Polish government isn't too worried about the site, so I was just curious if there was any way one could get a piece without flying to Hohenstein?

Much appreciated. You mention this being the last lion. The others were presumedly destroyed after the war or during the German 'scuttle' demolitions? Its good that there is at least something left. Maybe one day I'll be able to go over there and get my brick.

Again, I appreciate the photos. The more the better.

[quote="historytrack"] ...the ruins of the once enormous Hindenburg memorial ...

It was not, strictly speaking, a memorial to Hindenberg... it was constructed during the Weimar era to commemorate all WWI "Ostfront" dead. Since it was located at the site of Hindenberg's 1914 victory over the Russians Hitler arranged to have the Marshall interned there in 1934, despite his wish to be buried where he now rests.

Isn't the entrance arch to the grounds still standing?

What amazes me from pictures is the relatively small amounts of brckwork on site - Iam guessing that locals salvaged it for their own projects.
