Germania (city)

Berlin was to be reorganised along a central {{convert|5|km|mi|0|adj=mid|-long}} boulevard known as the ''Prachtallee'' ("Avenue/[[Boulevard]] of Splendor(s)"). This would run south from a crossroads with the [[Straße des 17. Juni|East-West Axis]] close to the [[Brandenburg Gate]], following the course of the old [[Siegesallee]] through the [[Tiergarten (park)|Tiergarten]] before continuing down to an area just west of [[Berlin Tempelhof Airport|Tempelhof Airport]]. This new North-South Axis would have served as a parade ground, and have been closed off to traffic. Vehicles would have instead been diverted into an underground highway running directly underneath the parade route; sections of this highway's tunnel structure were built, and still exist today. No work was ever begun above ground although Speer did relocate the Siegesallee to another part of the Tiergarten in 1938 in preparation for the avenue's construction.

The plan also called for the building of two new large railway stations as the planned North-South Axis would have severed the tracks leading to the old [[Berlin Anhalter Bahnhof|Anhalter]] and [[Berlin Potsdamer Bahnhof|Potsdamer]] stations, forcing their closure. These new stations would be built on the city's main ''Hundekopf'' (dog's head) geography [[Berlin Ringbahn|S-Bahn ring]] with the ''Nordbahnhof'' in [[Wedding (Berlin)|Wedding]] and the larger ''Südbahnhof'' in [[Tempelhof-Schöneberg]] at the southern end of the avenue. The [[Anhalter Bahnhof]], no longer used as a railway station, would have been turned into a swimming pool
