In the autumn of 1933, he was commissioned to rebuild and refurnish the Chancellery residence in Berlin. Year 1933 ( MCMXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Berlin is the capital city and one of sixteen states of Germany. ^[1] Along with other architects, Troost planned and built State and municipal edifices throughout the country, including new administrative offices, social buildings for workers and bridges across the main highways. One of the many structures he planned before his death was the House of German Art in Munich,^[2] intended to be a great temple for a "true, eternal art of the German people". The Haus der Kunst (literally House of Art) is an Art Museum in Munich, Germany. Munich (München; Minga is the capital city of Bavaria, Germany. It was a good example of the imitation of classical forms in monumental public buildings during the Third Reich, though subsequently Hitler moved away from the more restrained style of Troost, reverting to the pompous imperial grandeur that he had admired in the Vienna Ringstrasse of his youth. Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are the common English names for Germany under the regime of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Vienna ( in Wien; see also other names) is the Capital of Austria, and is also one of the nine States of Austria. The Ringstraße (or Ringstrasse) is a circular road surrounding the Innere Stadt district of Vienna, Austria and is one of its main sights

Hitler's relationship to Troost was that of a pupil to an admired teacher. According to Albert Speer, who later became Hitler's favourite architect, the Führer would impatiently greet Troost with the words: "I can't wait, Herr Professor. Berthold Konrad Hermann Albert Speer, commonly known as Albert Speer ( 19 March 1905 - 1 September 1981 was an Architect, author and for part of World Is there anything new? Let's see it!" Troost would then lay out his latest plans and sketches. Hitler frequently declared, according to Speer, that "he first learned what architecture was from Troost"'. The architect's death on 21 March 1934, after a severe illness, was a painful blow, but Hitler remained close to his widow Gerdy Troost, whose architectural taste frequently coincided with his own, which made her (in Speer's words) "a kind of arbiter of art in Munich.

Albert Speer on Troost

Albert Speer stated the following:

"At the correct time fate let Hitler meet Troost, with whom a light friendship soon connected . What Dietrich Eckart was to the Führer for the exchange of ideas of world politics, Professor Troost soon became for architecture. Dietrich Eckart ( 23 March 1868 - 26 December 1923) was a German politician one of the important early members of the National Socialist

"The first building which arose through the unique alliance of these two men was the original small edifice of the movement, the Brown House in Brienner Street in Munich. Munich (München; Minga is the capital city of Bavaria, Germany. Though it was only a reconstruction it was a tremendous effort as the Führer sometimes has said.

"The drawings for this reconstruction came to life in the simple studio of Architect Troost, in the small rear house at Theresien Street in Munich. In this same studio plans were made for a new building code, the plans for the Königsplatz in Munich, the House of German Art and many other buildings of the Führer. The square was designed at the command of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria by Karl von Fischer and laid out by Leo von Klenze The plans for these important buildings were never viewed by the Führer in his official offices. For years he drove to the studio of Troost in his spare time in order to view the plans of new buildings. But the Führer did not occupy himself only with the overall plans; each single detail, each new material received his seal of approval and much was improved through his fruitful suggestions. Those hours of joint planning, as the Führer often confesses, became hours of purest joy and the deepest feelings of happiness for him. They were relaxation of the purest kind, out of which he found new strength for other planning. Here he had the opportunity, during the few free hours which politics allows him, to dedicate himself towards the building art.

"During the winters of 1931 and 1932 he consulted Troost about the future form of the Königsplatz in Munich, and many beautiful designs were the results of these get-togethers. Year 1931 ( MCMXXXI) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1931 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Year 1932 ( MCMXXXII) was a Leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. Before his coming to power the place was, as a result of those many deliberations over plans and models, already finished in its present form.

"The Führer found in the irreplaceable artist Paul Ludwig Troost, his architect. Troost understood how to utilize Hitler's intentions and how to provide the correct architectural form. The Führer during his great speech at the cultural meeting of the Reich Party in 1935, delivered a memorial to Professor Troost which could not have been a more beautiful tribute to an architect of our times, Hitler said: We should be filled with happy pride that through a strange fate Germany possessed the greatest architect since Schinkel, in the new Reich and for the movement. Year 1935 ( MCMXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Karl Friedrich Schinkel ( March 13, 1781 – October 9, 1841) was a German Architect He erected his first and unfortunately his only tremendous works in stone as monuments of true Germanic and Teutonic purity.
