- The town of Günzberg in Bavaria has been blackened by being the home town of the probably the world's most famous war criminal and the family company which kept him on the run for nearly thirty years. The Mengele plant manufacturing agricultural and construction machinery employed at one stage ten percent of the population of the town and this made a lot of money for the Mengele family. Nonetheless there is a lot more to the history of the town other than its most famous son. It boasts a market square with a clock tower more than 400 years old, some remains of the former Roman border installations and if one tries hard enough one can see where the city walls once were. The former Austrian barracks still stand and the town has clear Habsburg influence. See more in the video!
My history channel is based on my own research and generally comes from places I have visited and or original research. I live in a motorhome and as such spend most of my time travelling between Poland, Germany and Italy which is why there is a tendency to produce material from these countries, and sometimes material that is not available in English. My speciality is in World War Two, and in particular, the Holocaust although as you can see, I have opinions on a lot of other historical subjects too.

My grandparents both came from Gunzburg. My grandfather’s house is the one next to the Cow Tower ( Kuhturm ) his father was a cattle dealer and a butcher, his butcher shop was on the ground floor of the house. His name was Dominkus Benninger and his wife was born Kreszenia Fritz from Anhofen, Germany..
Great little nugget of history Robert!
Lovely historical tour of my hometown. Some things were actually new to me. And english makes everything so much more interesting haha Grüße aus Günzburg!
That is wonderful to read - thank you very much!
Another great one thanks Sir.
I can remember my grandmother, always telling us stories of Gunzburg, when she lived there as a kid and young women. She told how there was a young boy in town, who she took care of, his name was Herman . I believe his last name began with the letter S. He had a bad accident on the hill going down from the Kuhturm. A truck had lost it’s brakes, and ran over him. He had bad head injuries, but did survive. When he grew up he became a barber in town. I believe he went to war, in the Second World War, but came home in the end. If anyone could tell me his full name, I’d be very happy. Maybe they might know more of his history, and hopefully he still has family in Gunzburg. I almost think his last name was , Scheinder perhaps, but not sure. Any clues would be helpful.
My grandmother’s house was halfway down that hill, by the Kuhturm, then you made a right turn. Her house was only in there a short distance. Her father and mother lived there until they died, Gottlob Juchler and his wife was Magdalena born Spielberger in Munich.
😀 Looneys my friens, alot of relief in my soul for showing me this! I think they where born under sign of the sun, must be the sunn stroke or something! 😀, thank you, my friend. 😀❤

Very interesting!
Franz Xavier Schwarz was the party treasurer. Of course everyone knows who Mengele was!
Known for the German Legoland park?
It is - I think I walked past on my way there from where I was staying!
Nice video and great narration. Thank you. Sadly, Mengele got away with his crimes.
Ginzberg as in Ginzberg?
There's a Franciscan monastery that i can see from my window. 🇷🇴 Timişoara
I am a storywriter... I like this documentary
Where is Mengele family and factory??
The factory was where the large shopping centre is today. The family is scattered all over the place.
There once was a street sign in GZ, showing us the way to the 'Mengele Ersatzteillager'!!! This was 30 years ago. And i was shocked!!! What about the lower district of GZ, Augsburger Str., Wasserburger Weg, etc. The social burning points of this city, killed by fog or by rain, like nowadays... GZ is just one more of these places, best forgotten and boring. But there are a few f****n drinking places, where tourists can blow their brains out. Or they can go to the (L)-egoland, where they can burn their money for nothing, the rest of their money, if there is something left. What about Lola Montez, what about Maria Theresia, what about their last social democratic major, killed by the Nazis. Don't read some stuff about some cities, stick your nose in every doorframe, you can reach and smell the sound of wood, available in dark and bright. Pure nature... Smell the voice of people in the streets. forgotten by history. This is entertainment, this is pop aka history...
I love GERMANY 🇩🇪 the town’s are so BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN!! I should have never came back to AMERICA in 1994!
