<P> The Beer Hall Putsch , also known as the Munich Putsch , and , in German , as the Hitlerputsch or Hitler - Ludendorff - Putsch , was a failed coup attempt by the Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler -- along with Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders -- to seize power in Munich , Bavaria , during 8 -- 9 November 1923 . About two thousand Nazis marched to the centre of Munich , where they confronted the police , which resulted in the death of 16 Nazis and four police officers . Hitler himself was not wounded during the clash , although he locked his left arm with the right arm of Max Erwin von Scheubner - Richter who , when he was shot and killed , pulled Hitler to the pavement with him . Hitler escaped immediate arrest and was spirited off to safety in the countryside . After two days , Hitler was arrested and charged with treason . </P>
