Munich DocumentationCentre for the History of National Socialism

As the place where the NSDAP was founded, Munich is associated more than any other German city with the rise of National Socialism. The former ‚Capital of the Movement’ played a pioneering role in the establishment of the Nazi regime of terror and was home to the Nazi party apparatus. The Documentation Centre has been built on the site of the former ‚Brown House’, once the headquarters of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP).
The permanent exhibition documents the history of National Socialism in Munich, the city’s special role in the Nazi system of terror and Munich’s difficulties in confronting its past after 1945. As well as the permanent exhibition, there are also a series of special exhibitions, a learning centre, a varied programme of events and various educational resources.
