About this audio guide
This guide to the President Friedrich Ebert Memorial in Heidelberg starts with the cramped three-room flat on Pfaffengasse where a tailor's son was born in eighteen seventy-one. It follows him to the presidency of the Weimar Republic, through a wartime munitions strike that made him enemies on the left and the right, and into a Magdeburg courtroom in December nineteen twenty-four. Best heard standing in the largest room, where his father worked.
