This paper builds on the current state of research on the stakeholders, the practices and the techniques deployed in regional, urban and architectural planning, and explores the scope offered by combining the methodological perspectives of the history of architecture and the Digital Humanities to create a digital history of architecture. The development, use and theory of digital methods and processes offer new approaches to the assessment of the regional and urban architecture that was planned and implemented by the Nazi regime in Eastern Europe. They enable the use of mathematical measurements of specific features that support far more informative statements than are possible simply through qualitative observation. The work discusses the academic value that this adds to the examination of spatial definition, urban construction and architectural practices, and the need to combine this analysis with qualitative ap-","PeriodicalId":135598,"journal":{"name":"Raumkonstruktionen | Spatial Constructions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134645224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its border areas were initially occupied (October 1938) and then, on 15 March 1939, Nazi armies occupied the rest of the Czech Lands. A Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, fully under the control of the Nazi Reich, was created on the same day. This article deals with the implementation of architectonic and urbanistic concepts advocated by the Nazi regime in the occupied Czech Lands. The aim of Nazi-supported tendencies in architecture was to promote spatial and visual Germanisation of the occupied territories. The Nazi leadership was convinced that architecture and urbanism ought to function – both in Germany and in other occupied territories – as a symbol of German superiority and dominance. In the Protectorate, Nazi authorities clearly prioritised the implementation of architectonic and urbanistic patterns adopted from Germany. In the final part, the author briefly discusses plans for a new way of making these planned and actually implemented constructions more accessible in a specialised electronic map with specific expert content (geo-graphical information system – GIS).","PeriodicalId":135598,"journal":{"name":"Raumkonstruktionen | Spatial Constructions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125689306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines the use of quantitative methods in Nazi spatial and population planning in three case studies: Gottfried Feder ’ s and Fritz Rechenberg ’ s urban planning theory, Gerhard Isenberg ’ s regional economic capacity method, and Walter Christaller ’ s wartime population distribution planning that was based on his Central Places Model. As a result, using these examples, it is found that figures that look precise and objective turn out to be based on questionable methodological, or rather ideological, suppositions. For the analysis of quantitative methods in their historical context, this evidence questions the connection between a pretended normality and normativity.
