Exhibit: "What was deemed legal at the time..."

"What was deemed fully legal at the time..." or, "Was damals Recht war..." is a traveling exhibition which aims to detail Nazi military justice.

The exhibition, currently installed in the Lichthof of the Justizpalast, sheds light on the processes of Nazi military justice and the judges and lawyers who were part of that system. The exhibition reveals to the viewer a handful of the 22,000 victims of the Nazi military justice system, from resistance fighters to U-boot captains. An important function of the exhibition is to communicate to the public the important recognition that people put through the Nazi military justice system where innocent of crimes.

Unfortunately for people who can't speak German - the whole exhibition is in German. But if you're looking for a chance to have a look and a wander around inside the Justizpalast, now is your chance. The interior is even more stunning than the dirty white imposing facade on the outside. The light in this building is amazing.
Another point of interest inside is the courtroom where the showtrials of members of the White Rose took place - when you enter the Lichthof look up at the clock, it is the door under the clock.
Mon- Thurs 10-18, Fri 10-14.
Entrance is free.

What is really sad is that I remember how filthy this building was in the early 1980s until they cleaned it. 25 years pass so quickly!
Thanks for the heads-up, I certainly will visit this exhibition.

Anyone interested in going to see the exhibition?

I would love to go to see this. Anyone else? I was thinking about going this weekend.

Mon- Thurs 10-18, Fri 10-14.

*cough*

Fair enough Gids
Still, anyone want to go with?

EDIT: just realised those opening hours are, well, almost non-existent. When am I supposed to be able to go, do they expect me to take time off work or something?
Silly. Ah well.

Almost as if they didn't really want people to go see it.

I would really like to go see the exhibition! The opening hours do seem a bit ridiculous though... Don't see how anyone but students would have time...
Hoonebeaz when would you have time to go see it?

I'd be interested in this exhibition too...the opening hours are rather limiting...but what about doing it during the lunch hour? Honeebeaz - do you work in the centre of town? - I'm near Isartor so no problem to get to Karlsplatz. What about you Floski?

Thank you for telling us, jamie.

I work in the city center too. Just thought it'd be a pity to rush through such an interesting exhibition. I have an hour for lunch and it seems too little to me, but maybe I am wrong and it is doable? I would usually tend to take my time.
I'd be up for giving it a try some time next week though.

No chance of taking an extended lunch break one day? We also normally only have an hour but I could do that. Tuesday or Thursday next week would work for me.

Sure, should be ok if I give the heads up at work. Either day fine by me.

Very enjoyable building:

Impressive. How long do you reckon one needs for the exhibition?

The exhibition itself is quite small, it's what you see in the rightmost picture. So depending on how fast you can read German 20 - 40 mins I'd say. ;-)

Ah well then, no more worries about whether the lunch hour will be enough or not! Thanks for the info Dostoyevsky.
So, who's up for next week, I'm thinking Tuesday? Madgibson, you still in?

If OK I will also join you (honeebeaz and madgibson) for the exhibition next week. Either day is fine for me... (am still a student at the moment).

Sure, the more the merrier. Still planning on going on Tuesday unless it goes against someone else's plans...

Yep, Tuesday is fine by me...what time shall we meet? - how about 12.00 outside the Hypovereinsbank at Karlsplatz?...then we just have to cross over the road.

Perfect for me.

Ok, see you at 12.00 on Tuesday 19th! Anyone else feel free to join us.

Hi everybody,

I am Thomas, 21 years old, new in this forum. Is anybody interested in visiting the exhibition next week at 16 or 17 pm, may be on wednesday or thusday?

Quick BUMP - Honeebeaz and I are going to see the Exhibition today at lunch time - meeting point Hypovereinsbank, Stachus at 12.00 for anyone else who wants to join us.

So, did you guys go? How was it? I am really keen to get there too, as much for the chance to see the Innenhof of the Justizpalast as the exhibition, but couldn't have made it during lunchbreak and I'll just try spontaneously one day after work.

Yes, we did go but although the exhibition is small there is a lot of reading involved as most of it is biographical info on individuals. So, not really enough time during the lunch hour to absorb everything. We might go again. Entry is free surprisingly enough and no security checks at the door either! The inside of the building is pretty impressive. Will have to go again as I forgot my camera!

@Dostoyevsky
Nice shots. The light is amazing inside. Got anymore that you'd like to post here? Or anyone else for that matter?

My pictures are in the gallery.
