Munich’s Altstadt (Old Town) is the most popular

destination for guests from all over the world.
Marienplatz (main square), Glockenspiel (carillon)
and Frauenkirche (cathedral) are must-see attrac-
tions. Along the roughly one kilometre-long pedes-
trian street between Karlsplatz (Stachus) and
Marienplatz, there is a lot to tell about the history
of the city.

Here are the best tips for getting a good view.

Alter Peter (church), you can
look down on Marienplatz
(main square) and Viktualien-

been located on this site since
1804, with its bakers, butchers,
fishmongers, delicatessen and
flower stands. On days when

that reaches as far as the Alps.

Paulskirche (church) right

During Oktoberfest, the

a panoramic view over the
festival grounds.
Cafés and terraces
A visit to a café or restaurant
around Marienplatz (main
square) and in other places
in the city centre can also be
a great way to get a beautiful
view. From the first floor of
Café Woerner, you are still very
close to the hustle and bustle
of Marienplatz. At Café Glo-
ckenspiel, you can watch all
of this from a kind of “balcony
seat”. The Donisl restaurant
overlooks the Frauenkirche
(cathedral), and the Monaco
Café in the Kaufhaus Ludwig
Beck (department store) offers
a unique view of Marienplatz.

MUNICH‘S NEW CRAFT BEER SCENE
The winds of change are sweeping through the beer lover‘s city
of Munich
By Jossi Loibl
“Craft Beer“ is the buzz word on everyone‘s lips. Lovingly
crafted beer with tons of personality best describes what‘s
hidden behind this magic phrase. It‘s something that comes,
like the whole trend itself, from the USA. Unlike in Europe,
the concept is clearly defined across the Atlantic, including
through the production volume of a brewery. The big Munich
breweries that also supply the “Oktoberfest“ are all well below
the maximum size threshold, meaning that every beer produ-
ced and served in Munich would be craft beer. For those friends
of fancy beers, this is not quite satisfactory.

 Shopper‘s
paradise
A successful city trip should definitely include
an extensive shopping excursion. Munich’s city
centre offers almost perfect conditions for a
fun shopping spree – all in an architecturally
impressive ambience.
Photo: Christian Kasper
The Brienner Quartier
The first port of call for most
shoppers is the central Fuss-
gängerzone (pedestrian street)
in the Altstadt (Old Town)
district (Kaufingerstraße, Neu-
hauser Straße, Marienplatz,
Sendlinger Straße). Here, you
can explore the many major
department stores, saunter
through branches of the top
fashion and footwear chains
and maybe even pop into the
FC Bayern Welt, the FC Bayern
club shop. From its beginnings
as a brave experiment in 1972,
the pedestrian street – the first
of its kind in Germany – has
become an integral part of
Munich. These days almost the
entire Altstadt has been pedes-
trianised as a shopping area.
It’s hard to believe that at one
time, lines of long-distance
traffic made their way through
the gates of the city across
Marienplatz!
As early as the Middle Ages,
passages known as “Durch-
häuser” were used to link
different streets through open
alleys. Some of these pas-
sages later became popular
shopping arcades and court-
yards:
In the Fünf Höfe shopping arca-
de in Theatinerstraße, hanging
gardens, tranquil, fantastically
designed inner courtyards
and an immense, suspended
sphere created by sculptor
Olafur Eliasson invite shop-
pers to enjoy a truly sensory
experience. The arcade houses
elegant designer stores as
well as a number of cafés and
offices. If you still have time
after your shopping trip, you
can visit one of the interna-
tionally renowned temporary
exhibitions in the Kunsthalle
(art gallery). The arcade was
designed by Swiss architects
Herzog & de Meuron.
The Schäfflerhof shows the
original brick cladding typical
of Munich. With this material,
Swiss architect Ivano Gianola
deliberately built a bridge
to the neighbouring Gothic
Frauenkirche (cathedral). From
international fashion and ele-
gant accessories to creative
interior design ideas, all your
wildest shopping dreams are
sure to come true here.
The Hofstatt quickly became
the heart and soul of the sur-
rounding district. On the for-
mer site of the offices of the
Süddeutsche Zeitung news-
paper, Swiss architect Marcel
Meili created a stylish shop-
ping arcade with peaceful
courtyards, combining listed
buildings with modern ele-
ments. Here, too, you will
find a range of sophisticated
fashion, furnishing and life-

style shops. In the 19th
century, King Maximilian II
commissioned his architect
Georg Friedrich Bürklein to
create what is now Maximi-
lianstrasse in the unique
“Maximilian style”. Today,
it’s primarily international
luxury fashion and jewellery
labels that line this magni-
ficent shopping street.
The Brienner Quartier in
Brienner Straße also reflects
the elegance of a high-class
shopping culture in its clas-
sical buildings. During the
Regency period, a number
of exquisite shops were
established directly beside
the Residence (city palace),
some of which are still
family-owned today.

Blue Horse (1911)
Franz Marc
The “Blue Horse” became one
of Franz Marc’s best-known
paintings and one of the
most famous paintings of the
entire “Blue Rider” movement,
causing rather a stir in its
time. At the beginning of the
20th century, the world of art
was still very much in favour
of naturalistic representation:
animals had no business being
multi-coloured. However, the
animal in question has a parti-
cularly haunting effect thanks
to its “humanisation”, soft gaze
and the way it holds its head.
It gives the impression of
being deep in thought.

You can almost feel the blood

The figure is a reveller, drunk
on wine and dance. Only those
visitors who walk around him
will spot the horse’s tail on his
back. The mysterious slumbe-
rer is not human, but rather
a satyr – a mythical creature,
half-man and half-animal and
companion to Dionysus, the
Greek god of wine.

type of music is commonly
known as Volxmusik and sees
DJs and bands mixing Bava-
rian dialect and traditional
instruments with elements of
pop, rock, reggae, indie, ska,
funk and Balkan beats. The
Volksmusiktage (Folk Music

Gärtnerplatz and Glockenbachviertel | 43

and Glocken-
bachviertel
The two trendy districts between the Altstadt-
ring road and Isar River are usually thought of
together: Separated only by Fraunhoferstraße, the
Gärtnerplatz district extends east and the Glocken-
bachviertel to the west. The districts are named
after Friedrich von Gärtner, an architect in the 19th
century under King Ludwig I, and the Glockenbach
stream, which today runs mostly underground.

Gärtnerplatz square
The Gärtnerplatz and Glocken-
bachviertel, with their trendy
bars, pubs and restaurants,
are also great places for a
night out. The district’s mes-
sage to visitors of the city is
clear: Munich shines in all the
colours of the rainbow! There
have been gay bars and ini-
tiatives for promoting sexual
equality here since the 1960s.
Life in Munich’s LGBTQ*
community also plays out
here in the trendy bars, clubs
and stores, the majority of
which are based around 3
Müllerstraße. Members of
the LGBTQ* community have
found both their home and
their freedom here.
The scene experienced its
wildest period in the 1980s
when Queen frontman

Freddie Mercury chose the

Bavarian capital as his second
home and threw legendary
parties here. His love for
Munich was so great that
he even moved into an apart-
ment on 4 Hans-Sachs-
Straße.
Rainer Werner Fassbinder,
one of the biggest names
in the Neue Deutsche film
scene of the 1970s and
1980s, also lived on Reichen-
bachstraße for four years
– with a view of his favourite
pub Deutsche Eiche.

The LGBTQ* scene in Munich

has a long history. As well as
being one of the first cities to
hold Christopher Street Day
celebrations (the German
and Swiss equivalent to Gay
Pride), the first gay and les-
bian electoral group took up
seats on local council here.
It is also home to one of the
first leather bars and where
Freddie Mercury hosted his
legendary drag parties. Much
of this happened and still
happens in the Glockenbach-
viertel, but not only there…

the market also brings in the
crowds with delicacies like
grilled fish, Bratwurst sausa-

rides like the Ferris wheel and
children’s carousel.
Nockherberg terrace’s fame
stretches far beyond the city of
Munich. As part of the venue’s
annual Starkbierfest, Nock-
herberg hosts the “Politiker

politicians are roasted in a
satirical musical cabaret. Just
around the corner at Zeppe-

of Au’s most famous resident
among German-speaking peo-
ple: Karl Valentin. His nume-
rous witty sayings and plays
can be seen and heard at the
Valentin-Karlstadt-Musäum in
the Isartor (gate) (p. 25).

Schwabing
(Continued from page 53)
After sustaining heavy dam-
age during the Second World
War, Schwabing is blooming
once again. Renovated art
nouveau and historicist-style
houses stand out amongst the
typical 1960s buildings. After
the war, the district’s many
clubs, music bars and cabaret
theatres saw it transform into
the hippest part of town and
a centre for youth and protest
culture. Institutions such as
the 5 Münchner Lach- und
Art nouveau houses
Antique Shop
Schießgesellschaft (founded in
1956 by Sammy Drechsel and
Dieter Hildebrandt), the TamS
(Theater am Sozialamt), Heppel
& Ettlich, the Lustspielhaus and
the Vereinsheim are still open
to this day.
At the newly renovated 6
Wedekind-Platz (square), the
“Schwabinger Laterne” has
also been restored. This lamp-
post was the subject of a song
by local star Schwabinger
Monaco Franze
Gisela, who performed for
years in the pub just across
the square. At Alte Simpl 7
restaurant, you can immerse
yourself in the atmosphere
of Schwabing in 1900 when
the artists and writers who
contributed to Simplicissimus
Kandinsky, “Impression III (Concert), 1911“
Wassily Kandinsky on Wassily Kandinsky’s paint-
Schwabing: “Schwabing was
an island of intellects in the
world at large, in Germany
and most of all in Munich itself.
I lived there for many years. It
is where I did my first abstract
painting. It is where I really
began to think about ‘pure‘
painting and pure art.”

magazine met to take a satirical
look at the establishment.
The drawings and poems that

Until the early 19th century,
the area was very sparsely
populated. It was not until the
start of the Industrial Revolu-

the 19th century, it was mainly
workers from the surrounding
region who moved here to
live close to the factories. In
the 1960s, however, many
foreign workers moved to We-

Commitment
to history
National Socialism in Munich
As Hitler’s former “Capital of the Movement”, the
city of Munich is aware of its special obligation to
actively remember the years of National Socialism
and its crimes.
In the years 1919/20 Munich
became the birthplace of the
National Socialist Movement
(NSDAP) and, until 1945, was
the seat of its headquarters. This
is where the political career of
Adolf Hitler and other key play-
ers in the Nazi regime began.
From 1935 onwards, Munich
bore the title “The Movement‘s
Capital“. The city of Munich is
therefore acutely aware of its
special obligation to actively
remember the imposition of
National Socialism on the coun-
try and the countless crimes
committed under its rule.
Visitors can learn more about
the Nazi era at local exhibitions
and memorials. Guided tours
and apps on the topic are also
available to those who are
interested.
The NS Documentation Centre
in Munich offers detailed insight
into National Socialism at the
historical location of Munich‘s
Königsplatz (King’s Square),
where the Party‘s headquarters
were located. The permanent
exhibition (in German and
English) comprehensively
documents the origins, effects
and consequences of National
Socialism. The offer also in-
cludes media guides in ten
languages, a digital learning
forum with interactive media
stations, as well as tours and

Graffiti at “Alter Viehhof“

Some of today’s leading tire train sprayed with graffiti

figures on the international
graffiti scene were immorta-
lised by their murals in what
was, at the time, the largest
Hall of Fame in Europe on
the flea market grounds on
Dachauer Straße.
On a foggy night in 1985,
Europe’s first “wholetrain”
was created on a siding of
the Munich S-Bahn – an en-
from top to bottom. Matthias
Köhler, the student who is
now one of the local mata-
dors of the Munich scene
under his artist’s pseudonym
“Loomit”, was also present.
He has likely got over the hefty
fine he was given by now.
He has travelled extensively,
leaving murals behind him and
setting trends among graffiti
sprayers all over the world.

 Members of the
Munich Scene
Munich is full of people on the move, con-
stantly enriching the cultural and foodie
scene with plenty of fresh ideas. We’d like to
introduce you to two extra special projects
and the brains behind them:
Hip hostess Sandra Forster
(47) was born and bred in
Munich and feels a very
close bond to her city. Her
latest coup is the “Blitz”
club, which has made waves
with its photo ban.
What’s this all about, Ms
Forster? A club called Blitz
(German for “flash”) where
you can’t even take a selfie?
SF: “Our main aim of the ban
was to make an important
statement: Forget about Snap-
chat, Facebook and Instagram
for a while. At Blitz, you can

Hip hostess Sandra Forster
let your hair down, dance
the night away and have an
amazing time, all without
worrying about finding tags
all over social media.”
What or who else is banned
here?
“Blitz has a very fair door
policy. Up to 900 people can
party here so we’re not too
strict.”
Where do you go when you
go out?
“I often treat myself with a
trip to classic venues like
Schumann’s. If I’m eating
out, I love Restaurant Emiko
at Louis Hotel on Viktuali-
enmarkt. And once a year, I
splash out on an evening at
Tantris. I always enjoy the
exhibitions at Haus der Kunst.
I also go to the Kammerspiele
theatre because I love seeing
how sub-culture is influencing
the performances there.”
Where do you take friends
when they visit Munich?
“I like taking friends on a
stroll along the Isar and into
the Englische Garten. They
love it!”
Daniel Hahn‘s location “Alte Utting“ for café and culture
Start-up entrepreneur Daniel
Hahn (31) from Munich is a
magician. He transforms huge
objects into magical venues
for events.
Mr Hahn, how did you ma-
nage to do it...Getting a ship
onto a bridge?!
DH: “Yeah, we managed to
merge an old bridge with a
dilapidated old touring boat.
As a result, we were able to
create a buzzing new venue
in Schlachthofviertel. Trans-
porting the MS Utting from
Ammersee to Munich and
then hoisting it onto the
bridge was no easy feat.”
Aren’t you ever afraid you’ve
got too much nerve?
“Sure, but ultimately I brought
one of my dreams to life. You
see, almost every Municher
has taken the boat across
Ammersee lake at some point

in their lives. When you’re
on board, you’re taken on a
journey into the past. Things
like that really move me.”
And if you choose to go on
board the “Alte Utting“?
“I love the ambience at the
cemetery, Alte Südliche Fried-
hof. The inventor of Oktober-
fest is buried here alongside
famous Munich artists and
architects. I also love going
to the café “Gans am Wasser”
in Westpark, which is run by
my brother. I also like the
Milla Club ... If I’m eating out,
I go to my local restaurant
Cooperativa, which is on
Jahnstrasse in Glockenbach-
viertel. After that, I head to
Valentinstüberl on Dreimüh-
lenstrasse.”

The Olympiastadion (Olym-

the 1972 Olympic Games
and subsequently became
the home ground for both
FC Bayern and TSV 1860. In
1974, the German national
team won the World Cup
here in the final against the
Netherlands. In a survey in
2000, the Olympic Stadium
was voted one of the five
most important German
buildings of the post-war
period. Since May 2017, real
