That year, many right-wing groups wanted to emulate Mussolini's "March on Rome" by a "March on Berlin". Among these were the wartime General Erich Ludendorff and also the splinter group NSDAP, led by Adolf Hitler.

However, on November 8, 1923, when Kahr along with about 3,000 officials and Nazi members held a meeting in the Bürgerbräu beer hall, Kahr withdrew his support. Hitler was surprised but then interrupted Kahr's speech and announced that the coup would proceed. Kahr, Lossow and Seisser were arrested, but were released again on orders of Ludendorff after having given their word not to interfere. During the night and unknown to Hitler, they prepared the resistance against the coup and in the morning, when the Nazis marched from the beer hall to the Bavarian War Ministry, to overthrow Bavaria's government - traitors in their eyes - as the first step on their "March on Berlin", the army quickly dispersed them.


Kahr's role in the failure of the coup cost him the support of right-wing nationalist forces in Bavaria and after the trial on Hitler revealed his administration's involvement in the preparations of the coup, he was forced to resign from his post as Staatskommissar in February 1924.
