King's Square (Königsplatz) Tours and Tickets

Delve into Munich’s dark past and the birth of the Nazi ideology on a revealing city walking tour. Led by a guide, discover the sites that provided backdrops to Adolf Hitler and his followers as they set about founding the Third Reich, giving Munich its title as the ‘Capital of the Nazi Movement.’ See beer-halls where Nazi brown shirts first gathered, buildings from where Hitler delivered speeches, and memorials to opposers of the movement.

On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll follow Adolf Hitler’s journey from obscure political agitator to a totalitarian dictator who would forever change the course of history. The tour starts at the Isartor Gate, which has marked Munich’s Eastern boundary since the Middle Ages. Along the way, you’ll visit the humble beerhall where Hitler joined the small workers’ party that would evolve into the Nazi movement, walk through the square where book burnings took place, and see the locations where both resistance fighters and regime supporters shaped Germany’s darkest chapter. While the subject matter is necessarily challenging, this tour approaches historical sites with sensitivity and educational purpose, providing crucial context for understanding how a democratic society can gradually succumb to authoritarianism. Before the tour ends near Karlsplatz, you’ll stop at the Main Synagogue Memorial at the site of one of the first synagogues that Hitler had demolished in June 1938.

This guided walking tour examines Munich’s crucial role in the rise and development of National Socialism. Long before Berlin became the political center of the regime, Munich served as its ideological and organizational birthplace. Here, early supporters gathered, propaganda took shape, and the foundations of dictatorship were laid. We explore how National Socialist rule affected everyday life, from political repression and antisemitic persecution to the realities faced by ordinary citizens and Jewish residents. We also highlight acts of resistance, including the story of the White Rose, and discuss how postwar Germany has worked to confront and remember this past. We will uncover the hidden layers of fear, conformity, and control that once defined public life. This experience offers insight into the dangers of extremism and the importance of historical responsibility, memory, and civic courage. This educational tour does not promote or glorify National Socialist ideology.
