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.

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.
