Cell 70 of the Bavarian state prison is a prison cell in the Bavarian state prison at Stadelheim. It is notable for being the cell that held many important German political figures. Kurt Eisner spent 9 months in 1918 in cell 70 for being one of the leaders of a food and peace strike in Munich. It was later occupied by his assasain Count Arco-Valley. In 1923, Adolf Hitler spent 5 years in cell 70 for his involvement in the failed Beer Hall Putsch. It was during this time that he wrote Mein Kampf. Finally, in 1934 Ernst Röhm was shot in cell 70.
