Adolf Hitler’s imprisonment in Landsberg am Lech ended 100 years ago. The Labyrinth – 100 years of Hitler’s imprisonment invites you to discover the background and the connections.
It was not a straight path that led to this development, but a labyrinth of wrong turns, dead ends and, in the end, an abyss with no turning back.
We cordially invite you to explore the exhibition “The Labyrinth – 100 Years of Hitler’s Detention” digitally in the BayernHistoryApp.
Listen to our introduction to the exhibition from September 6, 2024.
We will explain the content concept and the design concept to you.
Read the press reports and the results of the visitor survey to gain an impression of the effectiveness.
We are in talks with various cities to show the exhibition in other locations.
With best regards

Press review
23.10.2024 The editorial team with AI: The labyrinth – 100 years of Hitler’s imprisonment [PDF]
This text is based on the evaluation of 28 interviews, around 30 comments and 134 questionnaires from the visitor survey. The transcription of the introductory lecture was supplemented for contextualization. The AI (ChatGPT) created the basis for the text version with the specification of the journalistic elaboration of the statements. This amount is intended as a contribution to the discourse: What can, what may, what should AI do in journalism? What value does the subjective point of view have? What does objectivity mean if we use authentic data as a basis?
