Munich City Walks

We want to have a closer look at Munich - from highlights to secrete corners. In a vivid and lively way we inform about the various aspects of Munich: about historical and topical subjects, about outstanding and every-day events, about economic, cultural and social matters. While walking through the city or crossing it by tram you discover Munich and gain new perspectives. We offer the following tours:

Stroll through the City Center
Munich's history started with the salt trade - and what happened then? During our walk in the center of town we explain how the city developed and what events had a lasting influence until today. We talk about Munich's foundation and history, traditions and customs, modern town planning and development, rents and prices, topical subjects and every day life in Munich today and - of course - about our beer.

Migration to Munich. Places, Images and Debates since 1945
What a arrival! The moment migrants went off their trains at Munichs'
Hauptbahnhof, they were brought to the bunker under platform 11. In the 1960s daily more than hundred people arrived from Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia and Turkey. They were concentrated in the bunker an fetched by the employers, brought to their accommodation or forwarded to other parts of West-Germany. The settlement of many of these and later migrants deeply affected the society and townscape of Munich.
The tour runs around the Bahnhofsviertel (central station), where one can experience how the City and the public authorities welcomed the Migrants and how themes like Migration, Integration and Refugees are negotiated today.
Duration approx. 2 hours

Olympic Park and Village
The Olympic Area has a long and multi-facetted history: once a sheep-walk, drill-ground, airport, rubble-heap. Huge earth masses were moved to create the artificial landscape Olympiapark. The intention was to organize "peaceful and happy" games in contrast to the Nazi Olympics in 1936 in Berlin. How is the area used today? Rock and pop concerts, festivals, soccer matches.... the Olympic Park attracts many people and will do so in the future.

National Socialism and Resistance
Hitler came to Munich in 1912, joined the German Worker's Party (DAP) which he molded into the Nazi Party by 1920. After the Putsch of 1923 had failed Hitler succeeded in seizing political power in 1933. Two years later he gave Munich the dubious title "Capital of the Movement" to remind people that his "political career" had started here. Buildings in typical Nazi architecture were erected. We talk about the rise of the nationalsocialist party, resistance and how today the city deals with the Nazi past.

Munich and its Beer
Did you know that up to the 16th century a lot of wine was drunk in Munich and only then did beer become more and more popular. Munich's beer career started: Breweries, popular inns and beergardens tell us about this particular aspect of Munich's history. Where was the origin of the famous Hofbräuhaus, what about the so-called purity law, what (political) role played the big beer halls... This and a lot more will be the subject of that tour.

Visits to Museums
Are museums boring? Not at all! Exciting if you get to know what a painting tells you about how it came into being and about the life of its artist; lively if it tells you about life, architecture and fashion in those days, interesting if it tells you about the political and social background at that time.

Alte Pinakothek - The Old Masters (i.e.Dürer,Titian,Rubens...)
Neue Pinakothek - The Impressionists (i.e.Manet,Monet,Van Gogh..)

Munich City Rallye
Get to know Munich with our city rallye!
Equipped with our rallye-paper and a map the participants of our rallye explore the city center in small groups. On the way the rallye-paper offers background information and the participants are invited to answer questions and find explanations. Creativity will be useful and might decide the game.
You can choose: there are two variants:

• By foot: Our rallye leads to the important sights of the city center: Peter's Church, the market area, Marienplatz, Frauenkirche, Odeonsplatz, the Residence and to the Hofbräuhaus. Among many other things participants have to find out why the white sausages should be eaten before o'clock, we tell you the story why the devil left his footprint in the Frauenkirche and we give you some examples how the old Munich looked like.

• By foot and public transport: Our rallye leads to Karlsplatz, market area, Hofbräuhaus, the Residence, Königsplatz and Olympic Parc

All our questions can be answered without knowing Munich and no historical background is required. There are self-explanatory questions to many answers, sometimes a floor-title or a sign on a building helps to find the answer. But, of course, we might also ask tricky questions...
At the end (after 2 to 3 hours) the various teams meet in a nice restaurant. We look through your rallye-papers (approx. 1 hour) and then we will be able to answer the important question: Who is the winning team?
Prices: The price for a group of 10 people is 195 Euro. For each additional participants there is an extra charge of 10 Euro. The price includes reservation of a restaurant; awards to the winners are not included.
