About this tour
This session looks at the White Rose resistance group through the university where they were caught and later executed. You see the marble atrium where leaflets were dropped from the balcony and the paving stones outside cast to resemble scattered paper. It is a short, serious session focused on one specific act of resistance.
I keep my voice low and my pace slow throughout, since this history deserves care rather than commentary. Questions are welcome at any point, and I send a short reading list afterwards for anyone who wants to learn more.
This suits anyone interested in wartime resistance history rather than only Munich's older architecture. It also works well paired with a session on the Feldherrnhalle for a fuller picture of the era.
Included

The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Munich before heading out.

You see the marble hall where resistance leaflets were dropped from the balcony above in 1943, and I explain who the White Rose group were.

Pavement Memorial 15 min
Outside, the camera finds paving stones cast to look like scattered leaflets, a permanent memorial set directly into the ground.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Munich: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Obatzda (cheese spread) and Schwabing, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
