Wewelsburg ~ Divine Design
“The central focus of the redesign of the castle was the North Tower which would form the nucleus of a sanctuary 1.27 km in diameter. Bartels, in architectural plans of 1941: “The point of departure for the entire design is the centre of the north tower of Wewelsburg Castle, the ground plan of which forms an isosceles triangle. The perpendicular of this triangle points in the same direction as the direction of the main access road, which is to run for two kilometres in a NW direction straight towards the Castle & is to be designed as a magnificent avenue with four rows of trees. To the south it is to link up with an access road to the Rhynern-Kassel Reichsautobahn. The grounds will be enclosed by a circle with a radius of 430 m & completed with a wall with18 towers. In the Castle grounds a large number of buildings will be erected that will exclusively serve the purposes of the Reichsführung of the SS.” (source)
