Domesticated Machine
Description
An account of the resource
"The automobile developed analogously to the bourgeois home, becoming a site for ‘dwelling within the car’ rather than ‘dwelling on the road’. [...] technical, safety and design increments added up to a cumulative change that was nothing short of revolutionary when considered in terms of its social consequences."

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The intense dynamic between the engineers and the “landscape advocates” involved in the <em>Reichsautobahn design </em> is best illustrated in the debate on how the highways should be laid upon landscape. The engineers, following the logic of the railway, opted for laying the highway as a straight line, intermitted with a minimal number of short curves, irrespective of the vistas, landscape features or of the experience of the environment that the road creates. </p>
<p>On the other side, the “landscape advocates” had a different vision, more in tune with the environmentalist and <em>Heimatschutz </em>discourse. They proposed to lead the highway as a constant sinuous curve that would be defined precisely by the vistas and the landscape features, not always taking the shortest, safest, or the most economically sound route. The <em>straight</em> versus the <em>sinuous</em> became the subject of heated debates, with the <em>sinuous</em> winning in the end, at least on paper and in Reich’s intense propaganda of the project.<a title="" name="_ftnref2" href="#_ftn2"><br /></a></p>

<h4>The Arteries of the Reich</h4>
Description
An account of the resource
Planned at a construction pace of a thousand kilometers per year, the <em>Reichsautobahn</em>—or <em>Straßen Adolf Hitlers</em>—was to crisscross all of the Reich’s territory. Combined with intense motorization—exemplified in the concept of the <em>Volkswagen</em>, the national car—the new arteries of the Nazi state would transform the German society into a “Motorized <em>Volksgemeinschaft</em>.” The character of the new Reichsautobahn was seemingly distinct from that of the regular road. Regular roads were laid as reinforced lines of the landscape that would favor not only the circulation of several different kind of human or animal powered devices—as such forming a democratic realm of circulation—but also performed as sites of social, cultural, economic, and even recreational activities. <em>Autobahn</em>, on the other hand was seemingly only an conduit of high-speed locomotion. However, the <em>Reichsautobahn</em> was, quite conversely, a space that married all the modern attributes of speed an connectivity with the features of traditional roads: it was by itself a space of social, cultural, economic and recreational activities.

<h4>Highway of Leisure</h4>
Subject
The topic of the resource
The <em>Reichsautobahn</em> was conceived as much more than an artery of movement: although intended for the exclusive use of the automobiles, its character and the space it created was to embody everything that one could find on the regular road - from social, economic, cultural or recreational activities. Or what is even more important, all the functions that one's Heimat would offer.

Reichsautobahn Construction Started
Description
An account of the resource
On 23 September 1933 the construction of the Reichsautobahn started south of Frankfurt. Hitler himself took a shovel to make the first dig. The planned pace was to construct around 800 miles of highways every year, for the overall projected length of the network of 4000 miles.

<h4>"Sketch of a Middle-European Highway Network"</h4>
Description
An account of the resource
Published in "Raumforschung und Raumordnung" - the monthly journal of the Reich's Society for Spatial Science, and the prestige venue for exhibiting the Reich's plans for the "East" - this sketch shows the proposed extension of the <em>Reichsautobahn</em> network into Central and Eastern Europe. The network was to stretch to Saint Petersburg and Moscow, to the Black See, to Istanbul, and all throughout the Balkan Peninsula to Athens. The network was to facilitate the German expansion to the new Eastern Lebensraum, making the <em>Reichsautobahn</em> an active agent of colonization.
