The Munich Christmas market offers you the perfect op- portunity to wander, browse and shop in the heart of the city. This is the original Christmas market – and it’s steeped in tra- dition. If you’d like to discover Bavarian customs in the run-up to Christmas, you’ll find a whole world of possibilities at the Munich Christmas market. People of all ages can watch and get involved in lots of activities right up to Christmas Eve. My personal tips: take a half-hour break and listen to the daily live music from the town hall balcony, or sing along to carols beneath the Christmas tree. This grass roots event has beco- me a huge success. Come and admire the 300 participants in the traditional Krampus Run. It only happens at the Christmas market in Munich! Or take a look at the artisanal products on offer at Munich’s unique Nativity market. The market will be held at a new location this year by Alter Peter.

    Make the Most of a Layover in Munich ©JetSetting Fools | JetSettingFools.com Munich Sights and a Short History The city center of Munich is compact, making it easy to see many sights in a short amount of time. Munich was founded in 1158 and in 1175 the small city, with Marienplatz at the center, was fortified with protective walls. By 1330, the city outgrew the fortifications. The walls were expanded and eight city gates were built, three of which still stand today. The city was further strengthened in the early 1600s, but by the 18th century, the walls were seen as useless and destroyed. The main sights of Munich remain in a centralized area that was once confined by those city walls. Historic churches, squares and lanes, beautiful buildings and beer gardens are all within the city center. Throughout history, both fire and war destroyed many of Munich’s buildings so that today there is a mix of style and more than a few replicas. A Layover in Munich: 4-6 Hour Self-Guided Walking Tour Karlsplatz (Karl’s Square) Karlsplatz, a square that emerged with the city walls were torn down and named for the man who ordered the destruction, is on the western edge of the city center. On the east end of the square is Karlstor Gate, which was used as an entrance into the fortified city until the 18th century. Walk through the arched Karlstor Gate onto the pedestrian promenade, Neuhauserstrasse, to… Burgersaalkirche (Citizen’s Hall Church) The pink façade of Burgersaalkirche is hard to miss and resembles a government building more than a church.

  • Gabriel Von Seidl – Trail a Tour Through Munich’S City Centre Dear Readers
    City of Munich Department of Urban Planning Gabriel von Seidl – Trail A tour through Munich’s city centre Dear readers, The architect Gabriel von Seidl (1848-1913) from Munich is con- sidered one of the most important representatives of historicism in Germany. He focused intensely on the use of forms from the Renaissance and Baroque era and, in combination with traditional style elements, created what is today considered as typical expression of Bavarian vernacular style from Munich, going far beyond typical idealized versions from the era. The resulting numerous distinctive buildings designed by Gabriel von Seidl characterise his home town of Munich to this day, and counterpose the ever increasing globalised architectural language with soothing individual accents. Among his most well known works are the Münchner Künstlerhaus at the Lenbachplatz, the fa- cades of the Karlstor Rondell buildings, the Lenbachhaus, as well as the Bayerische Nationalmuseum and the Deutsche Museum. Gabriel von Seidl also advocated the preservation of significant buildings and monuments and showed a marked affinity to nature and countryside. As founder of the Isartalverein, an association for the preservation of the Isar valley, he opposed the threatened destruction of the valley by property developers with concrete action, and may therefore be considered one of the first cityscape guardians and conservationists. Gabriel von Seidl in seinem Atelier On the 100th anniversary of Gabriel von Seidl’s death, we would like to cordially invite you to follow his trail through the city and, with this in mind, to promote the message conveyed by his buildings and his personal efforts.

  • Reatil Flashlight München
    PRESSEMITTEILUNG 13. Oktober 2020 Retail Flashlight München City – Einzelhandel und 1A-Lagen in der bayerischen Metropole vor dem Hintergrund der Corona-Krise Olaf Petersen, Geschäftsführer und Chefresearcher des Einzelhandelsspezialisten COMFORT analysiert mit seinen Kollegen in den COMFORT-Büros vor Ort die aktuelle Situation zu Beginn des Herbstes 2020. Rund ein halbes Jahr nach dem durch die Pandemie bedingten Lockdown in ganz Deutschland: Wie stellen sich die Auswirkungen auf den Einzelhandel und die Handelsimmobilien der 1A-Lagen in den beliebtesten deutschen Einkaufsmetropolen dar? Den zweiten Teil der Serie bildet der Blick auf München als Deutschlands wohl beliebteste Einkaufsmetropole. Die Reihe wird in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten in lockerer Reihenfolge fortgesetzt. Allgemein Bedingt durch die Corona-Pandemie hat sich die in bestimmten Einzelhandelsbranchen bereits zuvor konstatierte rückläufige Mieternachfrage weiter akzentuiert. In diesem Kontext wurden auch verschiedene Insolvenzen und Restrukturierungen einzelner Unternehmen verzeichnet – insbesondere in der Mode- und Textilbranche. Die allermeisten dieser Entwicklungen hatten sich jedoch bereits vor Ausbruch der Krise im März 2020 deutlich abgezeichnet. Dennoch: Die Verunsicherung des Lock-Downs aus dem Frühjahr, Abstandsregelungen und Maskenpflicht sowie die unsicheren wirtschaftlichen Perspektiven führen bei der Expansion ungeachtet der positiven Entwicklung in den letzten Wochen in puncto gestiegener Passantenfrequenzen naturgemäß zu Zurückhaltung. Der bereits in
