Feldherrnhalle

Take a 2,5 - 3-hour walking tour of Munich to discover one of the darkest moments in the city’s history, learning of the birth of Nazism, the rise of Hitler, and the infamous Third Reich. In 1919, Germany was emerging from World War I as a defeated and humiliated nation, with Munich in the grips of hyperinflation and Bavaria dominated by revolution and assassination. Out of this fertile soil of chaos rose the Nazi movement, and one of history’s most powerful dictators, Adolf Hitler. Follow the inception of Nazism, from the first mass meeting at the Hofbräuhaus to the failed attempt to seize power at the Feldherrnhalle. You will go to the site of party rallies at Königsplatz, and stop in the Hofgarten to talk about The White Rose Resistance Movement. The tour covers all the important facts and sites that played a role in the origin of this dark chapter, which ended with the beautiful city of Munich in ruins and the second world war cutting deep wounds across Deutschland.

Dive into the city's past on this 2-hour guided walking tour. Choose from a private or group option. Munich, often celebrated as one of Europe’s most beautiful and cherished cities, also harbors a tragic past. This tour delves into this darker history, revealing the city’s role as the "Hauptstadt der Bewegung" or "Capital of the Movement," which served as the official hub of Nazism and the headquarters of the national party. General Eisenhower, the Allied Supreme Commander, famously referred to Munich as "the cradle of the Nazi beast." This city was not only Adolf Hitler's adopted home but also the birthplace of the Nazi Party. It was here, in the beer halls and backstreets of Munich, that a small group of extremists first emerged, eventually threatening German democracy and world peace. Before becoming infamous across Germany, Hitler was already known in Munich as a vehement beer hall orator and public figure, revered by his small, dedicated group of followers as "the Führer." The historic streets and squares of this Bavarian city witnessed some of the most notorious events in modern history, including the Beer Hall Putsch—Hitler’s initial failed coup, anti-Semitic pogroms, the destruction of synagogues, and the public burning of books. Today, Munich’s streets still echo with these memories, and your tour will guide you through these harrowing times. Many original buildings from that era remain, allowing you to see where the Nazi party began, the beer halls where Hitler delivered his early speeches, and the sites where the Brownshirts spread terror. Witness buildings that still bear the physical scars of those years of terror and war, alongside the grand monuments erected to celebrate the Third Reich. Throughout the tour, your guide recounts Hitler’s rise to power as well as the stories of those who bravely resisted in the name of democracy. From Marienplatz to Königsplatz, your guide will transport you back in time, from the tumultuous post-World War I years to the dark days of World War II. See the former Nazi Headquarters, where Hitler once wielded his power over the world. Walking through Munich’s Old Town, particularly in the areas around Marienplatz, encounter numerous buildings that still bear the scars of the devastating war Hitler unleashed upon humanity. Ironically, while much of central Munich was destroyed by Allied bombing, many of the grandiose structures built on Hitler’s orders survived and still stand today. These are juxtaposed with memorials dedicated to the many victims of Nazism, including those who sacrificed their lives in opposition to Hitler’s hateful ideology. Enjoy a truly unique experience to authentic sites that cannot be replicated anywhere else, as no other place bears a history quite like Munich's.
