The NS-Dokumentationszentrum is a museum in the
Maxvorstadt area of
Munich ,
Germany , which focuses on the history and consequences of the
Nazi regime and the role of Munich as
Hauptstadt der Bewegung (′capital of the movement′).
In December 2005 the government of Bavaria announced that the museum would be situated at the site of the former Brown House , the Nazi Party headquarters, which played an important role in Munich as “capital of the movement” during the rise of the party and the enforcement of Nazism . The Königsplatz , a square for the Nazi Party’s mass rallies, is in sighting distance.
