Planowanie i przebudowa „Nowego Niemieckiego Wschodu”. Generalne Gubernatorstwo: Warszawa (1939–1945)

Newly discovered source materials challenge the assumption of controlled urban development planning for Warsaw during Nazi occupation (1939–1945). Contrary to previous research, there was no official systematic plan for Warsaw, despite its symbolic significance. Mayor Oskar Dengel's private initiative aimed at reducing the population and redeveloping the city as a 'New German City,' but this lacked coordination with Berlin or Cracow. Unlike other occupied cities, Warsaw did not follow the 'New Redevelopment Programme.' Plans by Chief Development Officers Friedrich Papst and Friedrich Gollert in 1942/43 targeted demolition of identity-promoting structures like the Castle, reflecting shifting competencies and a problematic planning atmosphere under National Socialism. This study advances understanding of Nazi urban planning practices in Eastern Europe.
