Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand

This memorial exhibit documents the efforts and motivations of people who risked or lost their lives opposing the Nazi regime. It occupies the very rooms where high-ranking officers led by Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg plotted the assassination attempt on Hitler on 20 July 1944, a story retold in the 2008 movie Valkyrie.

Access the center via the courtyard.where the main conspirators were shot right after the failed coup.
