Dachau Travel Blogs

In the year 2005 my High-School choose the best ten students, who master the German language and reward them with a language course in Munich. I had the luck to be part of them. During this time we got the chance to visit Dachau.  I read and heard a lot about Dachau, but really standing on…

In February of 2004, I journeyed to Frankfurt, the Rhein Valley, Geneva, Vienna, and Münich for the purpose of closing a Swiss bank account. Vienna was romantic, Münich was charming, and the overnight train ride through the Alps offered a breathtaking feast for the eyes.

I took a trip from Munich out to Dachau (about a 25 minute train ride) to see the concentration camp. I saw the crematorium last and wrote in my journal afterwards:"Friday the 13th - what a fitting day to tour a concentration camp. I'm sitting outside the main crematorium (yes, there were 2). See…

Date  10-27-2006 1:32:57 AM I´m enjoying my stay in München, a cool city.  I´ve never been to a place where life revolves around BEER. They even have a Religious Day for Beer. I´ll be wearing the leiderhossen or dirndl the way I´m drinking over here. Yes, Beer is GOOD here. I try t…

Travelling through Germany I visited Dachau Museum, created from what was left after the destruction of this Nazi work camp.  This was the first of the German concentration camps and was opened March 22, 1933.  The day was freezing and snow hung ready to fall.  I wandered easily arou…

This Camp is located a few miles northwest of Munich Germany. This was considered the main blue print for all other concentration camps that arose during WWII. Grousome conditions were lived by many jews that passed the area. This was a part of history worth looking over, and instantly add to hatre…

Germany '09---everything from Hitler's Eagle's Nest to Oktoberfest...(p.s...actual blogs to come soon, for now, just getting the pics up...)

My trip to germany was not all fun but this side trip was memorable and I think nessasary. There are several pictures that have a blue tint not done on purpose but came out that way.  This trip brings out so many emotions it's a must see for everyone.  just remember that this happened a …

I decided to keep using Munich as my base of operations in the area and took a quick train to Dachau in the morning.  Dachau was the first of many concentration camps in Europe during the Nazi regime.  While it is fortunate that not as many people died here as some of the death camps, it …

We just finished our tour of the Dachau Concentration Camp, which was the original concentration camp or "parent" camp. It was the training ground for the SS, for the SS doctors, for torture, execution, humiliation, and brutality. Upon entereing the gates, individuals who had been successful politi…

The Second World War had the unfortunate consequence of bringing about the destruction of the vast majority of the city of Munich. After the war, then, it was entirely rebuilt in the original style. Thus, today, the city gleams with newness while maintaining a quaint style about it. There remains an outdoor market where a variety of pickles, sausages, cheeses, and chocolates can be purchased and enjoyed.

Don't sort through my blogs for the good stuff. See em' here.

We left Hohenschwangau and headed back towards Munich so we could visit Dachau.  When we arrived at Dachau we had only 1 hour ‘til closing which I knew meant we would really be hoofing it.  But we did manage to see much of the museum, including the bunker which I hadn’t seen last Janu…
