Immerse yourself in the world of justice and explore the Munich Palace of Justice - an architectural masterpiece and important site in German legal history - during an exclusive group tour. From the dramatic Nazi trials against the members of the White Rose resistance group to spectacular trials from more recent times - this tour offers you and your group a unique insight behind the scenes of the court building.
During your group tour of the Palace of Justice, you will also visit Room 253, which commemorates the trials of Hans and Sophie Scholl and other members of the White Rose Resistance group.
The recently opened exhibition, ‘Arbitrariness in the Name of the German People,’ is well worth a visit. It not only commemorates the victims but also offers detailed insights into the trials, the erosion of constitutional principles during the Nazi dictatorship, the post-1945 process of reckoning with the past, and the valuable lessons for the present.
The neo-baroque building, which is located between Stachus and the main railway station, was designed and built at the end of the 19th century by architect Friedrich von Thiersch. With its striking iron and glass dome, it is not only a magnificent sight from the outside.
It also impresses on the inside with its magnificent hall of light and imposing staircase, which extends over four floors with almost 500 rooms. This majestic place is often used as a film set for crime thrillers and lawyer series. Let your guide take you through the special architecture and fascinating history of this courthouse.
The building is the seat of the Bavarian Ministry of Justice and the Munich I Regional Court. Your guide will tell you which sensational trials were held here and which celebrities have already sat in the dock.
