The City
CITY OF MUNICH
The third-largest city in Germany houses about 1.5
million people. The first documentary evidence of
the city of Munich dates back to 1158 and since
1918, Munich is the capital of the Free State of
Bavaria. The city wall and gates date back to the
year 1301 and - like almost 90% of the city – were
destroyed during World War II. After the war, almost
all historic buildings were re-constructed based on

historic plans. Munich also was the scene of the
XX. Olympic Games in 1972. This major in-
ternational event led to the construction of the Mu-
nich subway and its coordination with the com-
muter railway system.
Ever since the Olympic Games, Munich also has a
large pedestrian area in the city centre.
