NS-Dokumentationszentrum München (Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism)
On 8 May 2025 - the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War - the Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism will reopen its doors after a five-month renovation phase. The date also marks the tenth anniversary of the nsdoku. The centre opened its doors to visitors for the first time in May 2015.
The Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism conveys the history of National Socialism with a view to the present and future and presents the historical experiences of the dictatorship in a current and global context. The NS Documentation Centre was established in 2015 on the site of the former ‘Brown House’, the party headquarters of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). It takes a critical look at the history of this site and the historical significance of Munich as the former ‘capital of the movement’. Based on the historical events before and during the Nazi dictatorship, its effects are documented up to the present day.
The museum's programme includes exhibitions, art interventions, events and participatory projects, online offerings, a learning forum and a library. Educational programmes for different target groups invite visitors to engage with the history of National Socialism and its continuities up to the present day.
By 2026, a memorial to forced labour will be established as a branch of the NS Documentation Centre on the site of the former ‘Reichsbahnausbesserungswerke’ in Munich-Neuaubing.
