The
Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the
Munich Putsch, and, in
German, as the
Hitlerputsch or
Hitler-Ludendorff-Putsch, was a failed
coup attempt by the
Nazi Party leader
Adolf Hitler — along with
Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff and other
Kampfbund leaders — to seize power in
Munich,
Bavaria, during 8–9 November 1923. About two thousand men marched to the centre of Munich, where they confronted the police, which resulted in the death of 16 Nazis and four policemen. Hitler himself was wounded.
