Guided tour looking at Munich’s dark past – in English

Gain insights into the era of National Socialism during the tour through Munich. Explore all the places that have played a key role in development of the Nazi regime. The romantic old streets and plazas of the Bavarian capital witnessed some of the most infamous events in modern history – such as the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler’s first, failed attempt to seize power, anti-Semitic pogroms, the destruction of synagogues, and the public burning of books. See the streets, squares and buildings, where Adolf Hitler was often seen, such as the official Nazi headquarter or the brewery pub, where Hitler attended his first meeting of the party and hold his very first speeches. 

The streets of Munich carry the memory of all of this today, and we’ll walk you through those terrible times. Many original buildings survive. You’ll see where the party began, the beer halls where Hitler made his early speeches, where the Brownshirts terrorised all who stood in their way, buildings that still carry the physical scars of those years of terror and war, and the arrogant monuments built to the glory of the Third Reich. On this tour, you will hear the story of Hitler’s rise to power, and also of those who resisted him in the name of democracy.
