10 minutes
2
Memorial Against War & Fascism
This monument is the city's first memorial to the darkest moment in Vienna's recent history, fascism and war. It is made out of 4 parts, each with its own special reference to this terrible period.
For the "Hitler's Vienna tour by Jan", this monument makes an insightful introduction to the tour by reminding us of the ultimate result and consequences of the story this tour studies.
3
The Hofburg
The Hofburg was the principal residence of the Habsburg monarchy in Vienna. The tour will explore a part of this massive imperial complex. Its newest additions, like the Burggarten, Neue Burg, Heldenplatz, were constructed not long before Adolf Hitler arrived in Vienna.
Our tour through The Hofburg is an immersive experience that sets the stage for learning about the imperial world that Hitler first met at age 18 in 1907.
20 minutes

Akademie der bildenden Kunste
The Academy of Arts is where Adolf Hitler applied to become a student. He failed the entrance exam. Twice. He spent the next 4 years living on the streets, in shelters and men's hostels, painting watercolour postcards for tourists.
Hitler's early life is full of adversities and provides insight to the ways he dealt with them and how they shaped him.
10 minutes
5
Ringstrasse
The Ringstrasse boulevard, and what it represents, is the most significant transformation of Vienna in recent times. The old medieval walls, bastions and glacis were replaced with a 4,5 km long boulevard.
The space along the Ringstrasse was populated by dozens of Vienna's most important public institutions, all represented by monumental palaces in all historical styles. Hundreds of smaller, but equally magnificent, palaces, private residences, offices, hotels, banks and covered the space between the giants.
Hitler loved it.
10 minutes
6
Heldenplatz
Heroes' square is the grandest space in the Hofburg palace. A gathering spot, parade ground, and forum. It was here, on the terrace of the Neue Burg, overlooking a fully packed square, that Adolf Hitler, on the 13th of March, declared the "Anschluss, the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany.
Our tour and story end on this square but not before exploring the visible traces and relics of fascistic influence on the square and cityscape of Vienna.
