True Crime Munich

What's the walk about?

Welcome to Munich, the Bavarian capital of beer gardens, baroque churches and royal splendour. But behind the elegant facades of the Altstadt lies another Munich — a city of political assassins and Cold War poisoners, of witch hunters and swindlers, of a drowned king and courtroom verdicts that divided a nation. On this walk we step off the tourist trail and follow the trail of the city's most notorious crimes, standing on the very spots where history turned dark.
