Guided Story

Can you feel the echoes of the past? Just behind you stands the remarkable Aegidienkirche, a haunting reminder of World War II. But here, at the ZeitZentrum Zivilcourage, it's about more than just devastation—it's about bravery in the face of tyranny. Did you know that this place highlights stories of those who quietly resisted? Look to your left, and you’ll find an exhibit revealing the courageous act of a local family who hid Jews during the war. These tales show us that civic courage often lies in the smallest, most personal actions. Let these stories inspire you to see hope and bravery in unexpected places.
