Olympiastadion in Berlin

We held our FontShop Fall 2007 meeting in Berlin's incredible Olympic Stadium. It was here that Hitler famously inaugurated the 1936 Summer Olympics. The Olympiastadion was one of the few buildings that survived not just in a recognizable form, but almost untouched after the Second World War.

In 2000 the Olympiastadion was renovated. The roof was extended to cover a total of 37,000 square metres with 20 roof-supporting columns carrying a weight of 3,500 tons of steel. It's quite remarkable.
