Drückebergergasse

Drückebergergasse (English: "Shirker's Alley") is the popular name for Viscardigasse, a narrow, curbless pedestrian street in Munich, Germany, just over fifty metres long and paved with cobblestones throughout. The street is officially named after the Swiss Baroque architect Giovanni Antonio Viscardi, but took its nickname from the 1930s, because locals could use it bypass the nearby Nazi memorial to the martyrs of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, thus avoiding the requirement to perform a Hitler salute to the guarded structure.^[1]

The alley is now the site of a memorial to those who resisted such Nazi tyranny, in the form of a line of bronze cobbles, "Argumente" (English: "Arguments"), installed in 1995. It was designed by the artist Bruno Wank [Wikidata].
