Why did Adolf Hitler call Munich “Capital of the Movement”? On this tour you will find out about the connection Hitler had to Munich from the very beginning. We will take you to places of former and partially preserved NS-buildings from 1923 to 1937 and explain their significance. We will also recount the history of the Nazi party, the NSDAP, which was founded in Munich. We will bring you to the original locales of history, such as the Feldherrnhalle (generals’ hall, the location of the Beer Hall Putsch 1923), the Königsplatz (first book burnings 1933) as well as the former Führerbau (Hitler’s personal office building) and the Haus der Kunst (art museum erected 1937). Further parts of this historically impressive tour are significant locations of the Resistance, such as the Ludwig-Maximilian University (The White Rose) and the former Bürgerbräukeller (failed assassination attempt by Georg Elser 1939)

Our Guides are authorized and licensed to lead you through the location and museum at the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. This former concentration camp was the first of its kind, built in 1933 and lasted the longest – until its liberation by the U.S. army on April 29th 1945.

This exclusively guided tour comprises the entire area of the former prison as well as explanations of historical context and background. The transfer from and back to Munich is included in this tour.
