The mansion is situated behind the Feldherrnhalle at Odeonsplatz, the little alley behind the Palais Preysing
connecting the Residenzstrasse and the Theatinerstrasse is called Viscardigasse but it used to be known by the locals as "Drueckebergergasse".
"Drueckeberger" is a German slang expression for someone who tries to avoid his duty.
Hitler ordered that everyone passing the Feldherrnhalle had to give the Nazi salute as they walked by,
as a tribute to the Nazi sympathisers who had been killed at that spot in the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923.
Many people practised a kind of passive resistance by making a detour down the Viscardigasse, to avoid passing the Feldherrnhalle and having to salute.
