Product Info

— What You Can Expect —

Munich is known as one of Europe's most popular cities, but it has a tragic history during the Third Reich when it served as the official seat of Nazism and the National Party Headquarters. It was known as "the cradle of the Nazi beast," as noted by General Eisenhower, the Allied Commander-in-Chief.

The memories of Munich's dark past still linger in its streets. Numerous original buildings remain intact, including the site where the Nazi party started, the beer hall where Hitler delivered his inaugural speech, places where the Brownshirts instilled fear, structures marked by the physical scars of years of terror and conflict, and newly constructed buildings.

Discover Hitler's rise to power and those who opposed him in the name of democracy. Walk from Marienplatz to Königsplatz with your guide to go back in time from the turmoil and fury of the last days of World War I to the dark ages of World War II.

Visit the former Nazi headquarters in Marienplatz, Old Town Munich, and witness the enduring remnants of Hitler's destructive impact on the world.

Led by an expert guide, the tour explores significant locations in Munich, offering insights into this infamous period, including facts about World War I and World War II. The core purpose is educational, shedding light on the events and context of the Third Reich.

2. Does the Third Reich Tour include a visit to Hitler's Eagle's Nest?

The Third Reich Tour primarily focuses on historical sites within Munich that are directly related to the Nazi era. Hitler's Eagle's Nest (Kehlsteinhaus) is located near Berchtesgaden, which is a considerable distance from Munich. Therefore, this specific tour itinerary typically does not include a visit to the Eagle's Nest, concentrating instead on Munich's historical core.

3. Is it possible to visit Adolf Hitler's bunker during the Third Reich Tour?

Adolf Hitler's bunker (Führerbunker) was situated in Berlin, not Munich, and was largely destroyed after World War II. Its remains are buried and inaccessible for public visitation. The Third Reich Tour from Munich explores sites within Munich directly associated with the Nazi party's origins and presence in the city, and does not include a visit to the bunker site.

4. What is the historical meaning of 'Third Reich' as explained on this tour?

The term 'Third Reich' (Drittes Reich) was coined by the Nazi regime to describe its period of rule in Germany from 1933 to 1945. It was used to suggest a glorious continuation of previous German empires, namely the Holy Roman Empire (First Reich) and the German Empire (Second Reich). The tour delves into the historical context of this period, explaining its significance and impact.

5. What historical context about the German Autobahn is covered on the Third Reich Tour?

The Third Reich Tour provides historical context about key developments during the Nazi era. While the idea for a German Autobahn network predates the regime, its extensive construction became a prominent propaganda tool under Hitler. The tour may discuss how the Autobahn was utilized to symbolize national progress and unity, and its strategic importance within the regime's plans.

6. Which architectural monuments from the Nazi era are featured on the Third Reich Tour in Munich?
