City History to Touch
The tour begins where local history becomes visible and tangible: at locations where ideology, power, and urban space intersected during the NS era. Bayreuth played a significant role during this time, which is now being addressed in urban and museum projects related to the history of NS ideology. This context makes the tour especially valuable for culture-interested visitors. ([bayreuth.de](https://www.bayreuth.de/ns-doku-zentrum-thema-im-kulturausschuss/?utm_source=openai))
A Path Through the City Center with Historical Depth
The event description indicates that a somewhat larger loop through the city center is chosen for this tour. Participants should therefore be reasonably fit on foot. The tour connects different stations to form a dense picture of the city mirrored in the 20th century and is aimed at adults, guests, and families.

Meeting Point with Clear Orientation
The starting point is the Historical Museum Bayreuth at Kirchplatz 4, 95444 Bayreuth.

There are no parking spaces at or around the museum, but surrounding parking lots and garages in the city center are available.
