events have taken place every year to mark the anniversary of the Hitler Putsch of 1923, including a march by Nazi celebrities from the Bürgerbräukeller on Rosenheimer Straße to Odeonsplatz, past the Sterneckerbräu, where a minute's silence was observed. On November 8, 1933, Hitler opened the NSDAP party museum here, which became a magnet for locals and foreigners and was mentioned in tourist guides such as "Baedeker". For 20 pfennigs you could visit the supposedly original and furnished room of the first office

As soon as Hitler and the Nazis took power in Germany in 1933, the fuhrer gave a speech in Sterbeckerbrau on November 8, on the anniversary of the ‘Beer Hall Putsch’, and ceremonially opened a small party museum within a former headquarter. Fuelled by Hitler’s passages from ‘Mein Kampf’ and Goebbels’ media machine, the museum becomes a site of pilgrimage for the devotees of the Nazi movement in the years of the Third Reich. In later years, the column of the annual marching along the route of the ‘Beer Hall Putsch’ used to make a stop in front of the Sterneckerbrau with a minute of silence. The building was not damaged in the course of the Allied bombings in 1944, which in contrast caused a significant demolition of ISARTOR gates. Since 1957, for the first time in four centuries, the location has not served as a beer house. In modern times, the primary entrance from Tal Street leads us to an electronic store as well as the back alley entrance opens into a residential estate.
On September 12, 1919, a young Adolf Hitler (in league with a few of his army colleagues) made a visit to one of the weekly meetings of the DAP at the deep of the poor illuminated Sterneckerbrau. That very meeting becomes history due to a battle of words between Hitler and one of the 40 attendees (the preserved attendance list includes 41 names, including Hitler), graced with enormous attention in ‘Mein Kampf’ and also in the recalling of Anton Drexler. As early as October 1919, four months after the signing of the Versailles Peace Treaty in Paris and a month after Hitler had joined the party, the DAP provided itself with its first headquarter in Munich. Just at this small room with a separate entrance from the Sterneckstrasse alley, the party committee had formed (starting from January 1920) the core of the future values of the Nazi movement and its programmer, which would fall into oblivion only as of the fall of the Third Reich years later

Sterneckerbräu, Munich
The Sterneckerbräu was a brewery in Munich. The associated inn served as a meeting place for the first branch of the German Workers' Party (DAP) and, similarly to the Bürgerbräukeller, was a place of pilgrimage for the Nazi movement. The DAP members met once a week in the restaurant on the first floor of the building. On 12 September 1919, Adolf Hitler attended a DAP gathering on behalf of the intelligence command of the army, which took place in a meeting room of the Sterneckerbräu, and was invited to join the party. He accepted the invitation and, on that date, became the DAP's 55th member.
In October 1919, the first branch of the DAP was set up in a side room of the Sterneckerbräu. Later, in February 1920, it changed the name to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). In 1921, the Bavarian nationalist and royalist league In Treue fest was founded at the Sterneckerbräu. It was banned by the Nazis on 2 February 1933, and was re-established in 1952.
On 8 November 1933, Hitler opened the Museum of the Nazi Party at the Sterneckerbräu, which was also mentioned in the Baedeker. The first inventory and office furniture, as well as the members' rooms, can still be viewed here.
The building survived World War II. In 1957, the restaurant was closed and the first floor was converted into a store. The building is now used as a residential and commercial property, and is a registered monument on the Bavarian monument list.
