Chronicle: Putsch and imprisonment 1923-1924

Hitler coup

In 1923, the crisis year of the Weimar Republic, Adolf Hitler wanted to overthrow the Reich government from Munich. He announced the "National Revolution" in the Bürgerbräu brewery at Munich's Gasteig. The "March on the Feldherrnhalle" at Odeonsplatz on 9.11. is stopped at gunpoint by the Bavarian state police.

Arrest

After the failure of the putsch, Hitler fled to Uffing am Staffelsee, to the villa of sympathizer Ernst Hanfstaengl. He was arrested there on November 11 and taken to Landsberg in protective custody.

Conviction

The Munich People's Court, whose jurisdiction over the case was disputed, tried the putschists (besides Hitler, Erich Ludendorff, Ernst Röhm and others) from February 26 to April 1, 1924. The sentences were lenient: Hitler was sentenced to the statutory minimum of five years' imprisonment for high treason, which could be suspended on probation after six months.

Dismissal

Hitler began his imprisonment in Landsberg on April 1, 1924. The prison management, who were well-disposed towards him, granted him numerous visits from supporters. Until his release on December 20, 1924, he wrote the first part of "Mein Kampf".
