Berlin 6th Olympiad
THE OLD SWIMMING STADIUM
Built for the 6th 1916 Berlin Olympiad
The Games that never were
In the winter of 2002/3 construction workers at the underground garage of the Olympic Stadium came across pillars and other architectural components in the ground. On the basis of historical plans, the architectural fragments were quickly identified as the remains of the old swimming stadium, which had been built in 1913 as part of the German Stadium.
