I love setting my own pace, stopping wherever curiosity takes me, or spending hours lost in a museum.\nAnd yet, here I am \u2013 on a cool October morning, sitting on a bus to Berchtesgaden with twenty-five people I met just yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What brought me here? A podcast.<br>During the pandemic, I discovered my passion for educational podcasts - one day I stumbled across <em>Tatort Geschichte<\/em>, the true crime history podcast by historians <strong>Dr. Hannes Liebrandt<\/strong> and <strong>Niklas Fischer<\/strong>. Both teach at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich and tell stories of historical crimes so vividly that I\u2019ve occasionally let dinner burn while listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I learned that Hannes Liebrandt regularly leads study trips with the <strong>Georg-von-Vollmar-Akademie<\/strong> my curiosity was was instantly sparked. A quick look at the website was enough: <em>Tracing National Socialism in the Alpine Region<\/em> \u2014 it sounded exactly like the kind of trip I imagine when I think of educational leave: learning with depth, at the original sites of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-419842e2 alignwide uagb-is-root-container\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What this article is about:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this personal travel report, I\u2019ll share<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list c-list--simple\">\n<li>how learning with the <strong>Georg-von-Vollmar-Akademie<\/strong> becomes a shared experience,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what makes <em>Tatort Geschichte <\/em>Podcaster <strong>Hannes Liebrandt<\/strong> such an exceptional seminar leader, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>whether <strong>\"Bildungsurlaub\"<\/strong> with the Georg-von-Vollmar-Akademie might be the right kind of trip for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experiencing History Where It Happened<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Between the Alpine Idyll and the Abyss \u2013 Learning at Historic Sites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study trip organized by the Georg-von-Vollmar-Akademie took us from <strong>Kochel am See<\/strong> about the <strong>Obersalzberg<\/strong> and <strong>Linz<\/strong> , and finally to <strong>Munich<\/strong>. At first glance, the route looked like a scenic journey through the Alps \u2013 in reality, it led deep into some of the darkest chapters of German and Austrian history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept was as demanding as it was powerful: we experienced <strong>history at the very places where it happened<\/strong>. No lectures in seminar rooms, but learning moments at sites where decisions were made, crimes were committed, and destinies were sealed. Each day focused on a different theme \u2013 power, mass murder, responsibility, resistance \u2013 framed by discussions, examples, and moments of reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hannes Liebrandt<\/strong>, who served as the academic leader of the trip, provided the red thread: he placed events in their historical context, told the stories behind the history, and linked what we saw and heard to broader connections. Alongside him was <strong>Simone Sp\u00e4th, <\/strong>from the Georg-von-Vollmar-Akademie, also a historian, who managed the organizational side of the program and made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At each learning site, <strong>local guides took over<\/strong> \u2014 people who conveyed their subjects with deep expertise and genuine passion. On <a href=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/en\/berchtesgaden-obersalzberg-kehlsteinhaus\/\"><strong>Obersalzberg<\/strong> <\/a>, <strong>Nadine Tauchner<\/strong> led us through the exhibition, explaining the creation of the \"F\u00fchrersperrgebiet\" (F\u00fchrer off-limits area) and the expropriation of local residents using an impressive terrain model. At the\u00a0 <strong>Mauthausen Concentration Camp Memorial<\/strong> ,\u00a0 <strong>Marlene W\u00f6ckinger<\/strong> guided us across the grounds with both professional knowledge and personal reflection, asking uncomfortable questions that stayed with us. In <strong>Linz<\/strong> ,\u00a0 <strong>Casimir Paltinger<\/strong> showed us traces of the planned \u201cF\u00fchrer city\u201d with insight, dry humor, and a fine sense for the tension between urban design and history. At <strong>Hartheim Castle<\/strong> , <strong>Mark Kaiser<\/strong> vividly conveyed the cruel precision and inhuman ideology behind the Nazi euthanasia program. And at the <strong>Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism<\/strong> , <strong>Christoph Zahner<\/strong> drew our attention to the power of images \u2013 to propaganda photography, its staging, and its lasting influence up to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these encounters added to our overall understanding. The guides opened windows onto local perspectives, <strong>Simone Sp\u00e4th,<\/strong> provided the organizational framework, and <strong>Hannes Liebrandt<\/strong> helped to place everything in its historical and social context. <strong>In the end, it was above all these people who made history tangible \u2014 through their knowledge, attitude, and the way they encouraged us to reflect.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At a Glance: The Stops Along Our Journey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a better overview, this interactive map shows all locations visited during our study trip <em>\u201cTracing National Socialism in the Alpine Region\u201d<\/em>.<br>It highlights the key sites between Berchtesgaden, Linz, and Munich \u2013 including documentation centers, memorials, and historic places that keep history alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1nH_qfIWGBCXgL5DsgzkPcQQMfyy-9uc&#038;ehbc=2E312F\"\n        width=\"100%\" height=\"600\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-duotone-unset-2\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"675\" data-id=\"15979\" src=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/obersalzberg-nadine-tauchner-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dokumentation Obersalzberg, Berchtesgaden -

His presence was always a kind of performance, one in which he took us on a journey through time with his words, gestures, and inexhaustible knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Obersalzberg, where Hitler\u2019s Berghof once stood, he showed us where the famous retractable panorama window had been, where the terrace was located where the Berghof circle gathered during work breaks, and how the surrounding landscape had been deliberately used as part of the F\u00fchrer\u2019s self-staging. He walked us through the so-called \u201cGreat Hall\u201d to the table where Hitler and his inner circle planned wars of aggression and mass murder \u2013 always with the Alpine panorama in view. <strong>Hannes didn\u2019t just recount history; he brought the scene to life, in all its contradictions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His ability to present complex historical contexts in a captivating yet accessible way made listening to him an experience in itself. Whether at the Obersalzberg, at Hartheim Castle, or on Munich\u2019s K\u00f6nigsplatz, Hannes combined historical facts with personal stories and thoughtful questions. He was never concerned with assigning blame, but with understanding: <strong>How could all this happen? And what does it mean for us today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most powerful moments of the trip for me took place in the atrium of <strong>Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich<\/strong> . Here Hannes talked about the <em>White Rose<\/em>'s last leaflet campaign. He took us along the path that Sophie and Hans Scholl had already walked toward the Adalbertstra\u00dfe exit after distributing about half of their leaflets, when they turned back to throw the remaining ones down from the gallery. Together we walked to that very spot \u2013 now marked by a memorial plaque. It was here that the janitor discovered them and held them until the Gestapo arrived. Standing there, at the place where a single fatal decision sealed the death sentence of these young people, moved me deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the closing session, all participants agreed: Hannes Liebrandt's captivating way of telling stories made this seminar an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"675\" data-id=\"15959\" src=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hannes-liebrandt-panoramafenster-berghof-1.jpg\" alt=\"Location Berghof, Obersalzberg, Berchtesgaden -

I took the train and bus back to <strong>Kochel am See<\/strong>, to spend two more days in the guest house of the <strong>Georg-von-Vollmar-Akademie<\/strong> and explore the beautiful surroundings. Even the building itself tells a story: the baroque <strong>Aspenstein Castle<\/strong> was once the home of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baldur_von_Schirach\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baldur_von_Schirach\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Baldur von Schirach<\/a><\/strong>, the former Reich Youth Leader. After the war, it was expropriated and later transformed into the educational center of Bavaria\u2019s Social Democratic Party. Today, it has become a place of encounter \u2013 where political education, lived democracy, and historical awareness come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the foyer of the guesthouse still stands the large <strong>globe \u2014 a gift from Hitler to von Schirach<\/strong> \u2013 serving as a silent reminder of the time when power and ideology once resided here. All the more remarkable, then, is how profoundly the place has changed: into a <strong>house of dialog<\/strong>\u00a0that welcomes people from all backgrounds to learn together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At breakfast on Sunday morning, I couldn\u2019t help but smile: in a niche of the dining room hangs a photograph of <strong>Willy Brandt<\/strong>, cigarette in the corner of his mouth and a ukulele in his hand \u2013 I saw him once, back in 1983, at the great peace demonstration in Bonn\u2019s Hofgarten. Many things here evoke a sense of the past: pale green oilcloth table covers, fabric roses on the tables, and a faint air of social democratic nostalgia.

Some prefer to decide spontaneously where to have their morning coffee, while others appreciate the exchange and structure that come with an organized trip. Educational leave isn\u2019t for those who equate vacations with switching off \u2013 but it\u2019s perfect for anyone open to new perspectives, conversations, and inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group on our study trip with the Georg-von-Vollmar-Akademie was wonderfully diverse: teachers, administrative staff, social workers, a few retirees \u2013 and, what I especially liked, people from <em>all over<\/em> Germany. They were individuals in different stages of life, united by curiosity and a desire to keep learning. Many were seasoned participants in educational leave programs, others simply came because they were interested in the topic. In the end, everyone felt they took away more than just impressions: <strong>thought-provoking questions and new perspectives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#bc9c22;color:#bc9c22\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Educational leave with the Georg-von-Vollmar-Akademie is ideal for you if\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list c-list--simple\">\n<li>you\u2019re interested in history, politics, or culture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you enjoy discussing and reflecting in a group<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you want to learn and develop personally<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you\u2019re open to different viewpoints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you\u2019re willing to engage with difficult topics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you enjoy spending a few days in the company of like-minded people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It might be less suitable if you\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list c-list--simple\">\n<li>prefer to sleep in and travel spontaneously<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dislike following a structured program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>travel mainly to relax and unwind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tend to avoid debates or confrontation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>don\u2019t want to deal with challenging subjects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>value a high level of comfort (we stayed in pleasant mid-range hotels, and the bus could feel a bit cozy at times \ud83d\ude09)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#bc9c22;color:#bc9c22\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who embrace the concept, it quickly becomes clear: <strong>educational leave isn't a school trip for adults<\/strong>, but an inspiring opportunity to step back from everyday life and broaden your horizons.
