The Kurt Landauer Gedenktafel in Munich commemorates a major figure in FC Bayern Munich’s history. Kurt Landauer was born into a Jewish family in 1884. He served as president of FC Bayern Munich before and after the Second World War. His leadership shaped FC Bayern Munich during a period of war and reconstruction. Under his presidency, Bayern won its first German championship in 1932. Nazi persecution forced Landauer into imprisonment at Dachau and exile in Switzerland. He returned to Munich in 1947 and rebuilt the club from the ruins of the post-war period. The plaque records Landauer’s return and work for the club. Unveiled in 2010, the plaque honours his contribution to football and FC Bayern Munich. Its history connects sport, persecution, and recovery in Munich. Landauer’s return to Munich linked his earlier presidency with the club’s post-war reconstruction. The memorial presents football history through Landauer’s Jewish identity and persecution.
