Munich and the National Socialism

A brief guided tour that can be completed with an additional hour

As 1923 Adolf Hitler tried a military coup in Munich nobody could imagine, what would happened 10 years later. The so called “Beer Hall Putsch” failed but 1933 Hitler was elected chancellor and Munich became the capital of the “Mouvement”. Our tour takes us to numerous places steeped in history from this period. We follow Hitler's footsteps, from his first appearances in the restaurant "Zum Sternecker" to the major rallies at Königsplatz. We walk to the most important places (Führerbau, University…) and we talk about the “White Rose” a student resistance organization. And we do not only visit the politically significant places on this tour. You also try to understand how it could happen.
