The exhibition

The exhibition shows the life paths of Hitler assassin Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg and his brother and co-conspirator Berthold: from the sheltered youth in Stuttgart to careers marked by a sense of duty in the civil service to the resistance against the Third Reich at the risk of one's own life.

The exhibition of the House of History is so far the only exhibition in Germany that exclusively commemorates the two Stauffenbergs and their contribution to the resistance.

Due to renovation work in the old castle, the Stauffenberg memorial site has been closed for at least one year since May 2019. From July 2019 on, the exhibition "Attentat. Stauffenberg" can be seen in the Haus der Geschichte Baden-Württemberg instead .
