Architecture and Space between Planning and Realization. German influence on the architectural and urbanistic planning in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, 1939–1945

Original language description

In the understanding of the Nazi leadership, architecture and urbanism with their scientific backup were supposed to function – in both Germany and on other occupied territories, including the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia – as a symbol of German superiority and dominance. For Nazi authorities in the Protectorate, implementation of architectonic and urbanistic patterns adopted from Germany was clearly prioritized. This transformation was intended to indicate that the occupied cities or entire landscapes would serve other people and would be fully integrated into the Third Reich in the near future. Architecture expressing styles preferred by National Socialism, cities shaped by planners, nature formed by landscape designers – all that was supposed to be a visible part of the policy of Germanization (Germanisierung/Eindeutschung) of the public space. Nevertheless, the occupation authorities did permit theoretical discussions about return to vernacular architecture, which took place in the Czech community of architects, but plans based on these discussions were realized only in a handful of exceptional cases. The paper offers an overview of both planned and realized projects. It also highlights the key personalities of related professions and relevant German administrative structures in the Protectorate.
