The NS-Dokumentationszentrum (Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism) in Munich is a place of learning not only about the National Socialist regime but it also documents the regime’s long-lasting significance and effects after 1945. Particular emphasis is given to the role of Munich as the “capital of the Nazi movement” since it was here that the NSDAP was founded. Beginning in the 1980s, citizens’ initiatives demanded a place to critically engage with the city’s National Socialist past. The museum, a joint project of the city of Munich, the free state of Bavaria, and the Federal Republic of Germany, opened in 2005. The museum was intentionally built adjacent to Königsplatz, where the national headquarters of the NSDAP and other Nazi organizations had been located.
