after the nazis took power in 1933, hitler turned the feldherrnhalle into a memorial to the nazis killed there. a memorial to the killed men was put up on its east side. it is opposite the location of the shootings. this monument was called the "mahnmal der bewegung". it was designed by paul ludwig troost. the square in front of the feldherrnhalle (the odeonsplatz) was used for ss parades and rallies. new ss recruits took their oath of loyalty to hitler in front of the memorial.
