9 November marks the anniversary of various significant events in German history.

The shooting of Robert Blum in 1848, the proclamation of the republic in 1918 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 coincidentally fell on this date. The “Hitler Putsch” and the return of the former crown prince in 1923, the November pogroms in 1938 and Georg Elser’s assassination attempt on Hitler in 1939 were different: for them, 9 November was the programme, with direct or indirect references back to the 1918 revolution.

In the guided tour through “Roads not Taken. Or: It could have been different”, these special contexts are illuminated and explained.

Participation in the themed tours free of charge, plus museum admission (€7 | reduced €3.50 | free up to 18 years).

Dates: 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm in German and at 4:30pm once in English.
