Come along and discover Munich and Bavaria with me as your guide - when it just has to be that little bit better! I was born in the city where other people love to go on holiday: Munich, perhaps the most beautiful city in the world? And I have one of the most fantastic professions: as a tour guide, I show visitors from all over the world around Munich. It's not just about the typical highlights, but also about hidden corners, anecdotes and the many stories about my city, whether they may be true or not. Without a doubt, Munich is a city that offers everything at once: a long, eventful history, destruction, reconstruction, all the way to its development into one of the most liveable cities in the world. And then, of course, there is the indescribable Bavarian lifestyle, which I would like to share with you. This includes, of course, the good Bavarian food, the beer and the typical Bavarian cosiness. As a certified guide of the Dachau memorial site, I am allowed to professionally guide you around the grounds of the former concentration camp. It is my concern to make a contribution so that we can all try to understand the incomprehensible a little better. Whether you come with me to Munich, Dachau or other extraordinary places in Bavaria: YOU WILL COME AS A VISITOR AND LEAVE AS A FRIEND :-) Official guide of the Bavarian state capital of Munich Certified taxi-guide of the Bavarian state capital of Munich Certified tour guide of Dachau Memorial Site Member of the Munich guide society Member of the German guide society BVGD certified according to DIN-EN-standards Due to Corana, the purchase of a new car had to be postponed. For this reason, I currently only accompany you on foot, in your car or in a separate car with a driver.

Munich's difficult legacy: a tour along original sites of the former "Capital of the Movement"
Overview of your Munich tour
In 1913 Adolf Hitler came to Munich for the first time and he was immediately enthusiastic. He found this city to be a "real German city" and it quickly became clear that Munich would become his adopted home. So, it was Munich where he first joined a right-wing nationalist party. It was here in Munich that he gave his first political speech, founded the NSDAP, and wrote the first political program for that party. And it was Munich too, that in 1923, with the so-called "Hilter Putsch", he made that infamous coup attempt that failed but made him a hero beyond the borders of Munich. On this tour we will examine the role of Munich that led to the strengthening of the Nazis. Munich during the Nazi era will be a topic as well as resistance, the destruction, the reconstruction and also the difficult handling of the legacy from the Nazi era.
Your Munich tour itinerary
Due to the many locations and events related to the topic of "National Socialism in Munich", it is completely impossible to offer a tour that is even approximately chronological. One would have to "jump back and forth through the whole city" too much in this attempt. For this purpose, I have put together a route that provides a very good overview of the entire subject. * In doing so, we start in the city and gladly, if you are staying in the city, from your hotel. * On our tour we will definitely pass the famous Hofbräuhaus. * Later we will leave the old town for Maxvorstadt, one of the most exclusive districts of Munich, where the former "party district" of the Nazis was located. Original preserved party buildings are located here, including the former "Führerbau" on the east side of the impressive Königsplatz of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. In addition to a kind of standard route, this tour can be tailored to your wishes in any way. Please feel free to ask me.
