School History Trips to Munich introduce your students to a city of contrasts – traditional and contemporary sit side by side. From its Bavarian customs to its place in the rise of National Socialism, Munich is a city that’s home to wide-stretching and complex historical moments.
On a history trip to Munich, students can chart the rise of Hitler and the Nazis at the many Third Reich sites. As students immerse themselves in this period of history, they’ll come to learn how a single man rose to a place of prominence and how even to this day, his impact has far-reaching consequences worldwide. They’ll discover the heroic accounts of human behaviour, including the story of Hans and Sophie Scholl who helped create the White Rose resistance group to Nazism. Exploring these themes of power and consequence are life changing for students and the lessons they come away can applied anywhere!
Munich is so much more than embellished buildings and lively squares. In the heart of Munich, students can imagine the intricacies of Nazi operations – the secrets, the spies and the sheer calculated horror of it all. Step into the story…
