About this audio guide
This guide to Volkspark Marienberg in Nuremberg follows the sculptor Walter Franke and his memorial to the city's fallen First World War pilots, an aeroplane shown upside down. It traces how that sculpture came to this ground in the summer of nineteen thirty-three, when the meadow under the park opened as a brand-new airport. Best heard on the slopes of the Marienbuck, the hill above the lawns.
