Description: Scarce early original vintage hand-colored photograph of the famous 1936 Berlin Olympic Village constructed by Captain Wolfgang Fuerstner. This view came with a number of other 1936 Olympic photographs. I believe this is the American section of the village since there is an American flag being flown from a pole at center left. The Olympic Village itself received rave reviews from everyone who stayed there. The 130-acre village was constructed by the German Army under the direction of Captain Wolfgang Fuerstner. It was laid out in the shape of a map of Germany and contained 140 buildings including a post office and bank. Each of the athletes' houses contained 13 bedrooms, with two athletes per room. There were two stewards always on duty in each house who spoke the athletes' native language. Training facilities in the Village included a 400-meter oval track and a full-size indoor swimming pool. Photograph measures 7 1/2 x 10 inches and is in excellent condition with only light bumps to the corners (see scan). There are no tears or creases and the image is very sharp and has strong tones with good contrast and clarity. Back is clean with no writing.
