The Olympic Village of the 1936 Summer Games west of Berlin was used by the German army after the Games and was taken over by the Soviet Army after the Second World War. Five-storey housing blocks were built between the historic buildings, and an army sports club trained athletes here. The troops left in 1992; the surviving buildings are protected as a monument.
Олимпийская деревня летних Игр 1936 года к западу от Берлина после Игр использовалась германской армией, а после Второй мировой войны её заняла Советская армия. Между историческими зданиями были построены пятиэтажные жилые дома, здесь работал армейский спортивный клуб, где тренировались спортсмены. Войска покинули деревню в 1992 году; сохранившиеся постройки находятся под охраной как памятник.
