18. Foundation corner of the NSDAP in the Sternecker Braüstübl Munich.

The notice on the table reads; ‘At this table the Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler founded the NSDAP.’ The Sternecker Bräustübl located in Sterneckerstrasse im Tal, near the Isartor (Isar Gate, 14th century) was indeed the birthplace of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party; it was here that Adolf Hitler’s political life began on 12 September 1919. This postcard shows that part of the building where the Party held its first meetings. Here the area has been set aside as a shrine to the founder, Adolf Hitler, and other leading Nazis.
