The experience

You meet your guide in front of the hotel BEYOND by Geisel at Marienplatz, opposite St. Peter's Church, and begin in the heart of Munich's Old Town. Marienplatz itself was almost completely destroyed in Allied bombings. As you walk past the reconstructed New Town Hall and medieval buildings, your guide explains why Munich became the capital of the Nazi movement and how the city's role shaped the course of World War II.

The tour traces the Nazi Party's founding through its key sites: the Hofbräuhaus beer hall, where the party held its first meeting; the Feldherrnhalle at Odeonsplatz, where a fatal gun battle erupted during the 1923 Nazi march; and Königsplatz, where the Führerbau and other Nazi Party office buildings once stood. Your guide covers the Beer Hall Putsch, the Munich Agreement, and the events and figures that influenced the war's trajectory. If you choose the 4-hour option, you'll visit the NS Documentation Center, where exhibits use photographs, documents, texts, film projections and media stations to trace the Nazi movement's origins and rise to power in Munich.

The tour is wheelchair accessible, and all areas and surfaces accommodate mobility devices. Public transportation options are available near the meeting point. Your guide will email you the day before with any final details.

What exactly is the Feldherrnhalle and why does it matter to Munich's WWII history?
