To see the memorial to the failed Hitler assassin Georg Elser, you literally have to be in the right place at the right time. The light installation on the facade of the Turkish School in Maxvorstadt shines for only one minute a day – at exactly 9:20 p.m. On November 8, 1939, Elser detonated a bomb at the Bügerbräukellner, where Adolf Hitler was giving a speech. However, the assassination attempt failed. (muenchen.mitvergnuegen.com/tipps/georg-elser-denkmal-in-der-tuerkenstrasse/)
