Munich Third Reich Tour

Munich Third Reich Tour

Called 'The Capital of the Movement' by Hitler himself, Munich still contains the footprints left behind by those fateful happenings which would change the lives of millions. During this tour we will pass through the stage on which this story played out, learning about all the key points in the story from the foundation of the Nazi party, to the attempted coup (the Beer Hall Putsch), Goebbels' book burning or the anti-Jewish pogrom Kristallnacht.

Beginning from Mary's Column in Marienplatz the tour takes in the Führerbau, where Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler signed the Munich treaty in 1938, Königsplatz where the mass Nazi rallies were held, The former headquarters of the Gestapo secret police and Sterneckerbräu, meeting place of the early Nazi party.

With an expert guide, the sites of such historic events are brought to life, all in the context of Munich's emergence from almost complete destruction following the Allied bombings of World War II, and its attempts to come to terms with its dark past.
