Adolf Hitlers favourite bars and restaurants
Café Neumayr
Location: Petersplatz 8
Today: there’s a pizzeria called Berni’s Nudelbrett now, the house is still called Haus Neumayr
Each mondaynight before Hitler became in charge of the country, there was a table reserved for him in café Neumayr. In 1922 and 1923 Hitler also held some speeches at the café.
The location today. The café is a pizzeria, but the building still looks the same. The painted picture was taken from the website of the pizzeria.
Osteria Bavaria
Location: Schellingstrasse 62
Today: Osteria Italiana, still very much the same
Hitler often had his lunch at the Osteria. The English lady Unity Mitford was there a lot when he was there. She becomes a symbol for the possible peace between England and Germany. When England declares war on Germany she attempts to commit suïcide (like a lot af women around Hitler did at other times). She keeps on living but she’s in a bad shape because of the failed suïcide (a bullet didn’t kill her, but did a lot of damage). She dies because of it 1 or 2 years after the war.
The Osteria is said to be in pretty much the same state or atmosphere it was in when Hitler visited it often. When you look inside it’s obviously not the most trendy furnished restaurant of München.

Schelling Salon
Location: Schellingstrasse 56
Today: still there
Bar/restaurant very near to the Osteria Italiana. Hitler came here often to eat, but, as some sources say, when the owner cut his budget he didn’t go there anymore.
Café Heck
Location: Corner Ludwigstrasse/Galeriestrasse
Today: still there
Before the takeover of power in Germany Hitler was here on afternoons. He met a lot of his friends here after leaving the Landsberg prison in 1924. There still is a bar on the corner of these two streets. The café looked over the Hofgarten. The pictures show the bar we found over there and the Hofgarten behind it. After receiving help from München we were able to be sure about this location.
The Tambosi bar is another bar that verges on the Hofgarten. It also has a long history in the area. Hitler might have been there but we have no proove of it.

Carlton Teeraum
Location: Briennerstrasse 10, across the road from Café Luitpold (that’s still there)
Today: the old Carlton Tearoom was located at number 52 of the Briennerstrasse. The building doesn’t exist anymore. A new restaurant with the same name is nearly at the same spot, on number 10. It has nothing to do with the old Tearoom.
After 1933 Hitler prevered the Carlton Teeraum because of the fact that in this café he wasn’t welcomed with applaus when he came in. In the rest of München he was.
Altes Rosenbad
Location: Herrnstrasse 48
Today: the building was bombed in the war, a large parking house is covering the area
Not a favourite bar of Hitler, but the bar where he attended a political board meeting (of what was going to become his own party) for the first time.
Other bars and restaurants

Location: Dachauerstrasse, near the Kazerne
