Built for the 1936 Olympics by Werner March, this massive stadium holds 74,000 spectators and carries the full weight of its history. Jesse Owens won four gold medals here, demolishing the racial mythology the Nazi regime had built around the event. The stadium has been beautifully renovated and is still used for Hertha BSC home games — worth visiting even if there's no match on.
