Dachau Downtown car rental - Travel Guide |
 |
Situated on the S-Bahn #2 line, 17km north of Munich, DACHAU is a picturesque provincial town. It was formerly one of the seats of the Wittelsbachs, who built a Renaissance Schloss (April-Sept Tues-Sun 9am-6pm; Oct-March Tues-Sun 10am-4pm; DM3/?1.50) there in the sixteenth century. Three of the wings were pulled down by order of King Max I Joseph, leaving only the block with the main Festsaal , which features a spectacular coffered wooden vault and a frieze depicting mythological deities. It has excellent acoustics and concerts are regularly held there in summer. The Schlossgarten outside is a fine formal garden, while the Schlosscafé serves excellent cakes.
Despite tireless promotional efforts by the authorities, virtually none of the hordes of foreign visitors who come here venture into the town centre to experience its undoubted charms. Dachau's great misfortune is that its very name is synonymous with horrors that have been indelibly stamped on the consciousness of the modern mind, having been the site of Germany's first concentration camp, built on the outskirts of town in 1933, and the model for all others. Though not itself an extermination camp, many thousands were murdered here, and the motto that greeted new arrivals at the gates has taken its own chilling place in the history of Third Reich brutality: Arbeit Macht Frei - "Work Brings Freedom". The camp was mainly for political prisoners, and numbered among its inmates Pastor Martin Niemöller, the former French premier Léon Blum and Johann Elser, who tried to assassinate Hitler in 1939.
To reach the camp or Konzentrationslager (Tues-Sun 9am-5pm; free), take bus #724 or #726 from Dachau's Bahnhof. The rows of huts where prisoners lived were all torched by the Allies after the war, and neat windswept patches of rectangular gravel mark their former outlines. A replica of one of these huts gives some idea of the cramped conditions prisoners were cooped up in, but the only original buildings still standing are the gas chambers, never used, since the war ended before they could be set to work. Open ovens gape at you, and bright whitewashed walls almost distract from the ominous gas outlets set in the ceilings of the shower rooms. The stark wire perimeter fencing and watchtowers also remain. A permanent exhibition, with photographs and accompanying text in several languages including English, speaks for itself. Turn up at 11.30am or 3.30pm and you can also view the short, deeply disturbing documentary KZ-Dachau in English. Three small memorial churches - Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox - have been built within the complex, and the first two are normally kept open for visits. |
