Albert Speer
Albert Speer was a prominent German architect and Minister of Armaments and War Production for Nazi Germany, known for his grandiose architectural designs and his influential role in the regime. Speer was a key figure in the development of the Nazi aesthetic, advocating for the concept of 'ruinenwert,' which emphasized the importance of designing buildings with their eventual ruin in mind. His visions for Berlin were meant to convey the power and permanence of the Third Reich, reflecting a blend of classical ideals and modernist architecture. After the war, Speer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his involvement in the Nazi regime, where he became a controversial figure due to his reflections on guilt and responsibility.
