Runner on the ground - DIDIER

Discover one of the darkest chapters of Munich’s history on this thought-provoking tour that explores the city’s pivotal role in the rise of the Nazi Party – Adolf Hitler’s far-right political movement that led to the establishment of the Third Reich, the totalitarian regime in Germany from 1933 to 1945. Although now a vibrant, cosmopolitan hub, Munich was once the “Hauptstadt der Bewegung” (Capital of the Movement), where Hitler launched his political career and laid the regime’s foundations.

We’ll visit key locations of significant events, starting at the Gasteig, former site of the Bürgerbräukeller, where Adolf Hitler made his first grab for power in the Beer Hall Putsch and continuing to Odeonsplatz, where the Putsch ended in bloodshed. On the way we’ll trace Hitler’s rise to power from penniless failed artist on his arrival to Munich in 1913 to the founding the Nazi party in the beer halls of Munich.

Many original buildings from this period survived the Allied bombings of the Second World War and provide a haunting glimpse into the past, such as the area around Königsplatz, the site of the infamous book burnings and the regime’s administrative heart.

Along the way, we’ll also delve into stories of resistance efforts, including the White Rose Group and Georg Elser, and confront the tragic legacy of the Nazi era through memorials to the victims and the scars left on Munich’s cityscape.
