Nuremberg Palace of Justice - Definition and Overview

Nuremberg Palace of Justice is a building complex in Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany which is most famous for being the location of the famous Nuremberg Trials that were held after the Second World War for the "henchmen" of Adolf Hitler, between 1945 and 1949 for those who were still presumed to be alive. The infamous ones who made the appearance were Hermann Goering, Rudolf Hess, Franz von Papen(Vice-Chancellor under Hitler, Acquitted), Arthur Seyss-Inquart(Austrian Chancellor, Nazi Commissioner, Hanged) and Joachim von Ribbentrop(Foreign Minister, Hanged). It is commonly known fact that Goering, did not get hanged as planned, but he commited suicide by taking a cyanide pill smuggled into his cell. He was later quoted in his sucide notes that "being hanged is not appropriate for a man of his status".
