Visit to the memorial, opened in 2017, dedicated to the twelve victims of the attack on the Israeli team at the 20th Olympic Games in Munich on September 5, 1972. The memorial was erected near the crime scene in the Olympic Village, on the site of the former press center. It provides multimedia information about the eleven athletes and the local police officer who were killed in the attack and its aftermath, as well as about the course of events. In addition, the house at Connollystraße 31, where the first two athletes were shot, and a further memorial stone directly on the "tent roof" will be visited.
