For centuries, Nuremberg was the secret capital of the Holy German Roman Empire. Here, the famous Diets of Nuremberg were held, assemblies where the emperor met with the electors. Because of this crucial importance, the city was chosen as a center of propaganda during the Third Reich.
Hitler considered Nuremberg the heir of the Germanic traditions, the capital of the congresses. In this way, he managed to keep alive the memory and the legacy of the powerful Germanic Empire of the Middle Ages within the Nazi structure. Its significance was so big, that one of the greatest representatives of the regime's anti-Semitism, Julius Streicher, the owner and promoter of the weekly magazine Der Stürmer lived here. Nuremberg was declared the German city par excellence, the most loyal to the regime of all.
