|May 29, 2025
BERLIN - Berlin on May 27 presented its proposal to hold the Olympics, including a bid for the Games in 2036 that would fall exactly a century after the event was hosted by Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime.
-
"No matter where they take place, the 2036 Games will bring the Nazi Olympic Games from 1936 back into focus," Berlin's Mayor Kai Wegner said at the presentation.
Hosting the 2036 Games would show "a city which has changed in the past 100 years", Wegner added, during the event at the city's Olympiastadion, built for the 1936 Games.
"No longer do we stand for exclusion and hate, but we instead are a colourful, diverse metropolis which is open to the world."
