Munich and the Collapse of the Weimar Republic

PL/PO2003A Political Philosophy
PL/PO2003B Political Philosophy
PO1011 Foundations of Modern Politics

During the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) Germany experienced the backsliding and collapse of its democratic system, giving rise to the authoritarian regime of Nazi Germany’s Third Reich’ (1933-1945). On this trip we will study Germany’s democratic erosion through the lens of the cultural, economic, and political conditions present in Munich, Bavaria’s capital as well the initial center of the Nazi movement. We will follow the traces of the city’s darkest period by visiting sites such as those of the former headquarter of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP), the beer halls in which masses were mobilized for Hitler’s 1924 putsch attempt, and the concentration camp in Dachau.
