If you ascend the stairs to the first floor at the Stadthaus, you encounter two bronze busts: the effigies of Hans and Sophie Scholl. The siblings were partisans of the resistance group "Die Weiße Rose" (the white rose), who were sentenced to death and executed at the prison in Munich-Stadelheim on 22 February 1943.
The busts were designed by Otl Aicher, Hans and Sophie Scholl's brother in law, married to their sister Inge, who later became the founder and long-term director of Volkshochschule Ulm (founded 1946). Her husband, world renowned designer Otl Aicher, founded the Ulm School of Design (HfG) in 1953.
