Munich & the National Socialism – the dark side of the history

A guided city tour about the National Socialism in Munich

A guided city tour that takes us to the historical places of Munich’s Nazi past, the „capital of the movement“ as Hitler himself called it then.

1923 Adolf Hitler tried in Munich for the first time to gain the polical power. His military coup failed on the Odeon Square. Ten years later, he was elected in Berlin on January 30, 1933 Chancellor of Germany. In Munich, the Nazi propaganda and Hitler’s tourism are in full swing.

We follow in the trail of the dictator, from his first steps during speeches at the brewery. „Zum Sternecker“, passing by the house of photographer Hoffman where the first propaganda photos were taken. It will be the place where Hitler will meet the one who will become at the end his wife: Eva Brauen. We stop at the  Bruckmann’s villa, who supported the future dictator from the start. We go under the old city hall, where the „crystal night“ started. A city tour that also takes us to the „Führerbau“ – Hitler’s office and to the site of the „Brown House“ – the headquarter of the Nazi party – that the new documentation center, which had long been the subject of controversy, opened his doors.

A guided city tour – to learn and remember – „Munich & the National Socialism“.
