Historix-Tours: World War, Nazis, Dictatorship - Themed Tour

Description

Historix-Tours is dedicated to National Socialism in Freiburg. The Third Reich is a dark chapter in the city's history and a very complex topic. On this well-hour-long tour, we highlight some aspects and aim to inspire people to think about the past and the prevailing thought patterns. Not interactive, but in a quiet narrative style that leaves room for silent reflection. Guided by the question of how, in 1933, a democracy became a dictatorship in just under two months, we examine individual historical events. And if you wish, you can reflect during the tour whether we are at a similar point today — or living in entirely different times. We tell why the First World War broke out. What followed. Why so many people shared Hitler's extreme views. How the NSDAP sneaked into power. How Hitler positioned himself as a dictator, even though the NSDAP only received 33% in the last free election. And we explore questions like: Is democracy really important? Would all this be possible today? How did people think then and now? Not suitable for children/teenagers under 16 years old.
Meeting point is at the main entrance of Martinskirche at Rathausplatz.
This tour is accessible for wheelchair users. Small gentle dogs can be brought along.
