The famous Nuremberg Trials took place from November 20, 1945 and continued for 218 days. In the dock were 21 top Nazi officials; 12 received the death sentence and were executed on October 16, 1946. Hermann Göring cheated the hangman by committing suicide hours before. Proceedings took place in the Schwurgerichtssaal 600- Nürnberger Prozesse (International Military Tribunal, Landgericht Nürnberg-Fürth/ Schwurgerichtssaal. The court is still in use and is open weekends only and only for guided tours that depart on the hour between 1 and 4 pm. Reservations are not possible. Inquire about the availability of English tours. (It is usually possible to look into the court on weekdays but sightseeing is not allowed when the court is in use.) The court is most easily reached by U-Bahn U1 or U11 (station Bärenschanze).
