At the place of remembrance on Stauffenbergstraße, the German Resistance Memorial Center provides information about the various forms of active resistance against National Socialism.

The German Resistance Memorial Center (German: Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand) is located in the "Bendlerblock" building complex. It was at this historic site that Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg and three of his co-conspirators were executed following the failed coup attempt of July 20, 1944. The memorial site in the court of honor (German: Ehrenhof) preserves the memory of those affected and commemorates the resistance against National Socialism and the events of July 20, 1944.

Permanent exhibition "Resistance against National Socialism"

The permanent exhibition "Resistance Against National Socialism" vividly illustrates the diverse nature of the struggle against National Socialism. It highlights prominent events such as the attempted coup of July 20, 1944, as well as the resistance of young people, Christians and members of the labor movement. A wide range of thematic areas thus reveal the broad spectrum of resistance in Nazi Germany. Separate sections are devoted to Georg Elser’s assassination attempt on November 8, 1939, the coup attempt of July 20, 1944, the Kreisau Circle, the White Rose and the Red Orchestra and resistance from exile. Temporary exhibitions, educational programs, and events complement the permanent exhibition at the German Resistance Memorial Center.
