Rare 2-sided map as published for visitors to the 1936 Olympic Games.
Half of the front side is devoted to the best full-color aerial map of the Reichssportfeld, the Olympic Stadium and the Olympic Grounds ever made.
The map calls out the various venues for swimming, hockey, riding, tennis, shooting, athletics, etc. as well as the Dietrich Eckart amphitheater and stage, railway stations, etc., etc. The other half of the front side gives a transportation map of Berlin, a map of the sailing regatta venue and the Olympic Village.
The back side of the map shows the center of Berlin all the way from the Olympic grounds below the Charlottenburger Chaussee to the Alexanderplatz beyond the Tiergarten. It includes large portions of Charlottenburg, Berlin 1, Wilmersdorf, Schmargendorf and Grunewald, carefully pointing out must-see sights like the Deutschlandhalle, Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Victory Column, Alexander Platz, Potsdamer Platz, Lustgarten, Schloss (palace), Dom (cathedral), the French Church, etc., etc.
