History of Sorts

On February 24, 1920, the Hofbräuhaus am Platzl is where Adolf Hitler made a speech founding the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or the Nazi party.

It is a beer hall in the centre of Munich. I visited the place last June. To my surprise there was nothing in the hall indicating the event that took place there/ The event that eventually lead to the death and destructions of Millions. It did have some quotes on the wall, like the one above “Durst is Schlimmer als Heimweh” translated ‘Thirst is worse then homesickness’

However not one word about the failed Austrian artist who would later become the leader of Germany.

The only thing which was different in June, compared to the other beer halls in Munich, was the fact there were about 4 security staff outside the door.

I can understand they don’t want to attract the wrong type of tourism, but having no reference to the fact it was the birthplace of the Nazi part, and all the subsequent consequences is wrong.
