Dachau Memorial Site Tour - Half Day

Very likely, you can read hundreds of different books about Dachau, but seeing the original site yourself is quite another - a very emotional experience. Dachau - synonym and symbol of inhuman Nazi murder machinery, place of crime, suffering and death. From 1933 to 1945, the Dachau concentration camp existed, located in the northwest of Munich. Dachau was the only one of all later concentration camps that existed for all 12 years. Here, already in the very early years, the so-called "Disciplinary and Punishment Code " was created, which later became obligatory for all other concentration camps. Intentionally or not: Dachau became a kind of "model concentration camp" for the later entire concentration camp system. As a licensed guide in Dachau, it is my urgent need to offer visitors a professional tour that will help you answer the question that is, in my eyes, the most important question: "How could all this happen?"

By default, we start this tour from your hotel in Munich and head for Dachau by public transport. The very pleasant ride on the Munich S-Bahn and bus number 726 takes just under 40 minutes from Munich Central Station. Arriving at the memorial site, we begin our tour and visit almost the entire site. Among other things, we will pass through the entrance gate with the inscription "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work sets you free"), visit the permanent exhibition in the former maintenance building, take a look inside one of the reconstructed barracks and finally visit the most emotional place of the memorial: the crematorium in the northwest of the site, where the cemetery in the form of mass graves is also located. In addition to arriving by public transport, there are of course other ways of getting there, e. g. in your car or by cab (extra costs). Feel free to ask me about the possibilities.
