Georg Elser Gedenkstätte Königsbronn

This memorial site focuses on Georg Elser, a local resistance fighter, presenting his life through photographs, documents, and personal items in organized exhibition rooms. The layout helps visitors follow his story and understand his background and motivations.

Elser was a carpenter from this region who attempted an assassination plot against Hitler in 1939 to prevent further war. He acted alone and was later captured, becoming one of the few who dared to resist openly.

Elser is remembered here as a local figure who refused to accept tyranny despite overwhelming pressure. His story shows how ordinary people found ways to act on their conscience during difficult times.

The memorial is located in the town of Königsbronn and welcomes visitors throughout the week, though hours may vary by day. Groups should arrange visits ahead of time to ensure a welcoming reception and meaningful experience.

Elser was an ordinary craftsman without formal political training who acted purely from personal conviction, not from any organized movement. His story reveals that resistance came from everyday people driven by conscience rather than ideology.
