MUNICH AND NATIONAL SOCIALISM LEINEN

Munich is associated with the rise of National Socialism like no other city. After the First
World War  the 'National Socialist German Workers´ Party' (NSDAP) emerged from anti-Semitic and
radical right-wing circles in the Bavarian capital with Adolf Hitler becoming its leading
figure. Here he tried to assume power via a putsch in 1923. Here  after the 'seizure of power'
a party district arose in which about 6000 people organised the apparatus of the NSDAP.
Moreover  with the opening of the nearby concentration camp in Dachau  the 'Capital of the
Movement' took on a pioneering role in the construction of the dictatorship.The Munich
Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism occupies the site of the former
party headquarters on Königsplatz and illuminates the Nazi history of the city. Its permanent
exhibit  with plentiful new material  presents the history of National Socialism in Munich  the
special role of the city in the system of terror  and the difficulties in dealing with this
past since 1945. This book encompasses the texts and images of the permanent exhibit as well as
23 accompanying essays by renowned historians  making it also an illustrated history of the
'Third Reich' based on the very latest research.
