Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

After your guide has picked you up from your hotel / address in Munich in a minivan with a chauffeur (or, if your group consists of more than 7 people, in a small coach - of course also with a driver), you will be driven to Marienplatz, where your 'Munich in the 3rd Reich "tour can begin with an approx. 1-hour tour of the old town. ***** Marienplatz has been the bourgeois center of the city since the city was founded in the 12th century; until 1852 it was called' Schrannenplatz ' At the time of the National Socialists, the neo-Gothic town hall was provided with swastika flags, in order to take account of the increasing traffic, the old town hall from the 15th century was also provided with an extra-wide passage.

2
Stop 2

Using the late Gothic Munich Frauenkirche (built at the end of the 15th century in just 20 years!), We would like to illustrate the destruction caused by numerous Allied bombings and some changes during the reconstruction - supported by historical images.

3

The second largest barrel vault in the world is located in St. Michael's Church, which was built just 100 years later - in Mannerist style! Supported by historical images, we also show you the destruction caused by numerous Allied bombing raids and, in some cases, changes during the reconstruction.

4
Stop 4

In 1933, SS Brigade Leader Christian Weber set up his residence in one of the largest and most magnificent city residences in Europe. Tour the huge building complex with its 7 large inner courtyards from the outside and let your guide explain the different stylistic epochs to you, as well as the importance of petting one (or all) of the lions at the side entrances.

5

Your guide will be happy to tell you why this little street was called "Drückebergergäßchen"!

6
Stop 6

At this southern Point du Vue on the historic Ludwigstrasse, which was built on behalf of King Ludwig I, the attempted Hitler putsch in 1923 came to a bloody end. Here, at the point where Munich's northern city gate, the "Schwabinger Tor", stood until 200 years ago, your chauffeur will be waiting for you in his vehicle - the other sights are driven to by minivan / coach.

7

Erected in 1985 on the site of the destroyed Schiller memorial, an eternal flame burns in a symbolic dungeon as a symbol of freedom.

8

At the Ludwig Maximilians University, moved from Ingolstadt to Munich in 1826, the "White Rose" resistance group was formed with its members Hans and Sophie Scholl, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf and Professor Kurt Huber Caretakers were murdered in 1943. ***** Visit the memorial with your guide.

9
Stop 9

In the former artists' quarter, Hitler liked to stop off at the "Osteria Italiana" that still exists today. The editorial house "Völkischer Beobachter" and "Heinrich Hoffmann. Verlag National Socialist Pictures" were also located in the most popular part of Munich today. In 1929, Adolf Hitler met his future wife Eva Braun in the later "Photohaus Hoffmann".

10

Here, in a niche on the first floor of the Munich Hofbräuhaus, Hitler and his entourage particularly enjoyed meeting. If you want to follow our recommendation for a hearty lunch (not included in the tour price), you can take a seat on the ground floor, in the "Schwemme" or - if the weather is suitable - in the beautiful inner courtyard with its romantic outdoor dining area. Even if you don't want to eat anything, you should definitely take a look at the "most famous inn in the world".

11
Stop 11

With a main front of 225 meters, the building erected in 1937 by Hermann Göring's Reich Aviation Ministry for a new Luftgaukommando V building is one of the most monumental in Munich from this dark era. Swastikas on window grilles and steel helmets on house walls leave no doubt about who was once the builder here!

12
Stop 12

The first representative Nazi building in Munich, jokingly called "Weißwurst-Allee" due to its seemingly endless row of bright granite columns, was called "House of German Art" in Hitler's time and shows works of artists conforming to the Nazi regime. See goosebumps-inducing swastika decor today!

13
Stop 13

In the immediate vicinity you can forget the horrors of Hitler's time for a moment by watching the famous Eisbach surfers on "the best inner-city standing wave in the world" as they more or less successfully conquer the artificially generated wave.

14
Stop 14

Visit the house of Adolf Hitler in the noblest district of Munich, where he moved into a luxurious, 317 sqm 9-room apartment in 1929 (today the police station, can only be viewed from the outside).

Not far away, embedded in the Bogenhauser villa district, which was built at the beginning of the 19th century, you can see the property on which Eva Braun has lived in a villa since 1936. This house was demolished a few years ago.

15
Stop 15

In this boulevard, named after Prince Regent Luitpold, see an extremely curious Nazi building: an apartment building with flanking air raid shelters, built for the National Socialist upper class. It was to serve as a model for numerous other buildings of this type - but due to World War II this is the only one that was ever completed.

16
Stop 16

Here you can see a "model settlement" built by the Nazis, in which in 1934 almost 200 settlement houses with their own gardens were built for "German national comrades". It was supposed to serve as a model for other settlements and is now a listed building.

17
Stop 17

In 1943 the members of the "White Rose" Hans and Sophie Scholl, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf and Professor Kurt Huber were guillotined in the penal institution in Stadelheim.
Their graves are located in the nearby cemetery in the Perlacher Forest.

18
Stop 18

The historical area between Karolinenplatz and Königsplatz (both 19th century) soon became the party center of the NSDAP with numerous administrative buildings, but also the "Führerbau". Almost all Nazi buildings survived the bombing attacks unscathed. The NS Documentation Center, which opened in 2015, was built on the site of the destroyed "Brown House".

19
Stop 19

Exactly 100 years later, the center of power of the NSDAP (see also "Königsplatz") was built around the obelisk, which was built in 1833 by order of King Ludwig I.

20
Stop 20

Here you can see the now renovated apartment house, in which Adolf Hitler shared a shabby room with the Austrian Rudolf Häusler after he moved from Vienna to Munich as an unsuccessful postcard painter in May 1913.
In addition, your guide will show you the location of the mausoleum planned by Hitler himself with the adjoining "Hall of the Party". Hitler was stimulated during his visit to Paris in 1940, when he reverently saw Napoleon's sarcophagus in the Invalides.

21
Stop 21

Visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site alongside your licensed guide will far exceed your imagination of humanly possible atrocities! In the 12 years of its existence, over 200,000 people were imprisoned here. 41,500 were murdered. Unspeakable suffering continues to this day from this concentration camp, which was opened just 6 weeks after Hitler was appointed Chancellor.

Before you start touring the memorial, we will show you some of the luxurious villas on the former SS grounds.

Experience has shown that the average length of stay at the memorial is 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

Since some of the footpaths consist of coarse pebbles, we recommend suitable footwear.
