On the 2nd of October 1937 Hitler attended the exhibition ‘Das schaffendes Volk’ in Düsseldorf. The exhibition showed German progress in a lot of areas of society. Companies like Henkel, Siemens and AEG were presenting themselves. Millions of people came to see the exhibition. The park had a large fountain, the house of the Deutschen Arbeidsfromt and large exhibition halls. The art in the Nordpark caused a ‘Skandal’ when a picture of the Rossebändiger (the large statues at the entrance) of artist Edwin Scharff turned up at an exhibition called ‘Entartete Kunst’ (degenerated art). Hitler just had new ideas about art in 1937 and the statues of Scharff weren’t heroic enough. The statues inside the park (made by other artist) got part of the discussion and were taken away, but the large statues at the entrance remained, because they were too heavy to remove. In 1941 four of the statues were placed back in the park. Flowers were placed on the spots were the statues had been. In 2006 the statues called ‘Fisher’ and ‘Schäferin’ also returned. The rest of the removed art has gone.

Hitler and Franz von Papen met eachother in the villa of baron Kurt von Schröder on January 4, 1933. It was a secret meeting between Von Papen, who had been Reichskansler before. He hoped to become chancellor again, with Hitler’s help. Hitler wanted to rule the country himself.
Some fragments of Von Schröder’s statement under oath about the meeting :
‘Ich, Kurt Freiherr von Schroeder, nachdem ich darauf aufmerksam gemacht worden bin, daß ich mich wegen falscher Aussage strafbar mache, stelle hiermit unter Eid freiwillig und ohne Zwang folgendes fest ...’
‘Als ich Papen im Dezember sah, sagte er mir: "Ich glaube, daß es jetzt vielleicht möglich wäre, eine Zusammenkunft herbeizuführen, um die strittigen Punkte aufzuklären. Wir müssen eine Möglichkeit zur Zusammenarbeit der Rechtsparteien finden. Am 4. Januar 1933 trafen Hitler, von Papen, Heß, Himmler und Keppler in meinem Hause in Köln ein.’
‘Hitler, von Papen und ich begaben uns in mein Arbeitszimmer, wo eine zwei Stunden dauernde Besprechung stattfand. Heß, Himmler und Keppler nahmen an der Besprechung nicht teil, hielten sich aber im Nebenzimmer auf.’ ‘Hitler brachte Himmler und Heß mit sich, da sie zu einer Wahlversammlung in Lippe unterwegs waren. Die Verhandlungen fanden ausschließlich zwischen Hitler und Papen statt, ich nahm keinen Anteil daran. Die Besprechung begann ungefähr 11.30 Uhr morgens.’
‘Weiterhin führte Papen aus, daß er es für das beste halte, eine Regierung zu formen, bei der die konservativen und nationalen Elemente, die ihn unterstützt hatten, zusammen mit den Nazis vertreten seien. Er schlug vor, daß diese neue Regierung womöglich von Hitler und Papen zusammen geführt werden sollte. Daraufhin hielt Hitler eine lange Rede, in der er sagte, daß, wenn er zum Kanzler ernannt würde, Anhänger von Papen als Minister an seiner (Hitlers) Regierung teilnehmen könnten, sofern sie gewillt wären, seine Politik, die viele Änderungen bestehender Zustände verfolgte, zu unterstützen.’
‘Es wurde vereinbart, daß weitere Einzelheiten noch zu bearbeiten seien und daß dies in Berlin oder (an) einem sonstigen geeigneten Platz vorgenommen werden könne. Dies erfolgte, wie ich später erfuhr, in einer Zusammenkunft mit Ribbentrop.’
‘Die Besprechung in meinem Hause endete um ungefähr 1.30 Uhr. Wir drei begaben uns dann zusammen mit Heß, Himmler und Keppler zu Tisch, wobei über allgemeine Dinge Konversation gemacht wurde. Um ungefähr 4 Uhr verließen alle Gäste mein Haus.’

An entry in the guestbook of the Grotenburg mountain near Detmold might prove he was in the area. It seems like he visited the Hermannsdenkmal on the mountain in November 25, 1926. Historian Ian Kershaw mentions the Hermannsdenkmal as a symbol of the myth of the German Reich.
