Does the Munich beer hall from Hitlers Beer-Hall Putsch still exist?
No. The Bürgerbräu Keller, which could seat over 2,000 persons, was the place where Hitler, Göring and a few hundred Nazi storm troopers launched the failed Munich Putsch (rebellion) on November 8, 1923, in an attempt to topple Germany’s democratic government. In November 1939, on the 16th anniversary of the Putsch, a bomb was planted inside the beer hall and exploded shortly after Hitler left the building. The impact was so severe that it caused the roof to cave in. The hall was later rebuilt and used as a service club for American troops after the war but was demolished in 1958. A second beer hall in Munich frequently used as a meeting place by Hitler and his followers is called the Hofbräuhaus. This is where Hitler outlined the 25 Points of the Nazi Party program in 1920. This building was heavily damaged during World War II but was restored and today serves as a popular tourist destination.
