Arrow Beer Hall Putsch site - today.

Changing trains in Munich on the way back from Nuremberg this week gave me a brief, early-morning opportunity to look at the spot where the Beer Hall Putsch of 8th November 1923 ended.

This is the spot where the road narrows to pass the Feldherrnhalle ; this is the view the marchers would have had at the futhest point they reached on the way to the Bavarian Parliament. A police cordon awaited....



Here's another view from a slightly different angle.....




Today, nothing remains to mark the spot ( I have to acknowledge After The Battle - yet again ! - without which I wouldn't have known where to look ).

But if you look closely at the wall of the Feldherrnhalle, the concrete patches show the mounting points for the three 'permanent' wreaths placed by the Nazis to commemorate the 'martyrs of 1923'......




These became the focus of many NSDAP marches and ceremonies.

Thumbs up Re: Beer Hall Putsch site - today.

Martin, your an amazing Gentleman. You never fail to amaze me with your visits to historical places. I had wondered if the Feldherrnhalle was still there or not? Now all it's missing are the two Allgemeine SS guards standing at attention at the entrance.
