Munich: Resistance against Hitler - Historical Walking Tour｜Germany

Munich was the birthplace of National Socialism. It was here that Hitler made his first speeches and it was here that the Nazi Party was founded. Munich was also the center of Hitler's inhuman propaganda to the very end. And even though a large number of Germans silently endured the Nazis' madness, there were women and men in that darkest hour of German history who had the courage to actively resist against Hitler. Here in Munich, the city of Hitler's personal rise, you can explore many stories of selfless resistance. They are tragic, but also hopeful stories of people who risked or sacrificed their lives for a better Germany. On this tour you will experience their dramatic stories.

The tour covers the most important resistance movements against Hitler. Some of them are well known and others almost forgotten.

The tour lasts about 2 hours and starts at the main entrance of the Munich Universtity (LMU). Our further way leads us to original historical sites like the main buliding of the University or the former Central Ministry. Among other things, we will encounter a secret military plot and the daring assassination plans of a single courageous man. We will also learn that Munich's youth was also prepared to resist. And they did so at a time when many older people deliberately looked the other way. Our final story will take us to the beautiful Odeonsplatz, which is also the last stop on our two-hour tour.
