If you ascend the stairs to the first floor at the Stadthaus, you will encounter two bronze busts. The effigies of Hans and Sophie Scholl. The siblings from Ulm were members of the resistance group Die Weiße Rose (The White Rose), fighting National Socialism. They were sentenced to death and executed at Munich-Stadelheim prison on 22 February 1943.
