Sight 10: [Weiße Rose Hamburg]

Show sight on map

White Rose Hamburg was a resistance group working against National Socialism in Hamburg. Those involved did not call themselves that, and for the most part did not see themselves as resistance fighters. The term, used by researchers after 1945, encompasses several circles of friends and family, some of whom had been in opposition to National Socialism since 1936 and who, following the actions of the White Rose in Munich and their continuation, acted against the Nazi regime and the Second World War from 1942. Although many members belonged to an older generation, the group is classified as a youth and student opposition. There were isolated personal contacts with other resistance groups in Hamburg, but cooperation did not materialize.

After a dubious purchase by the city of Hamburg, it was the seat of the Reichsstobsthalteri under the Gauleiter Karl Kaufmann from 1938 to 1945. The building has been used by the Hamburg University of Music and Theater (HfMT) since 1959 and has been expanded with growing modern architecture. In April 2011, an agreement with the budget heirs was reached after a restitution request, the palace remains owned by the city.
