Markets and

the economy

Munich has occupied top places in economic and dynamics rankings for many years.
Munich is crisis-proof, with a broad spread of industries strongly represented here.

Munich is a cosmopolitan city rooted in a healthy diversity of industries. Its spirit is innovative, its growth strong. And its pros- pects for professionals could not be better.

Markets and the economy

A healthy mix

The Munich region is one of the most attractive business hubs in Europe. Forceful growth here is generated by around 92,000 companies, including DAX heavyweights such as BMW, Siemens, Munich Re, Allianz, MTU Aero Engines and Infineon. Global players of the caliber of Microsoft, Intel, GlaxoSmithKline, Amazon, Fujitsu, Google, Oracle and Tesla are also at home here – all guaranteeing highly paid jobs with secure prospects.

Other powerful drivers of growth include midsized businesses with a broad footprint across all industries, skilled trades and a host of small, local businesses. More than a million people earn their living in Munich, whose gross domestic product adds up to over 100,000 euros per employee. Better still, the unemployment rate is at a record low of just 3%.

The current upswing is underpinned

by a diverse array of sectors and a healthy mix of large corporations, small companies, medium-sized businesses and skilled trades.

Other statistics underscore the appeal of the Bavarian capital: In the latest IW Institute’s Germany-wide city ranking, Munich occupies first and second place on economic performance and dynamics respectively. Roughly 1.5 million people live here today – a figure expected to rise to 1.8 million by 2035. For young, well-trained employees in particular, the Bavarian metropolis seems to have a magnetic attraction.

Fertile soil for solid craftsman- ship: Skilled trades remain an important branch of the city‘s economy.

Sound prospects for skilled workers, high potentials and those looking for a new challenge: Over 100 leading international companies offer first-rate jobs.

Perpetual motion: A tightly meshed network of air and rail links, freeways and public transport means Munich is always on the move, day and night.
Munich is Germany’s safest large city and one of Europe’s safest metropolises.

Munich on the move

The Bavarian capital also boasts excellent road and rail links. IC and ICE trains provide speedy and direct connections to Berlin, Rome, Paris, Zurich, Budapest, Prague and other key European cities. Meanwhile, a well-developed freeway network quickly brings motorists into the city – or out into all of Germany and its European neighbors.

Local public transport keeps passenger streams flowing smoothly. And given Munich‘s global appeal as a trade fair venue, it is also a popular, stress-free option to get international visitors to their congresses, shows and events.

Some 50 trade fairs for capital goods, consumer goods and new technologies draw about three million visitors to this vibrant city every year. Leading international trade fairs held here include AUTOMATICA, BAU, bauma, electronica, EXPO REAL, Intersolar Europe, ISPO Munich and analytica. The exhibition grounds and the International Congress Center ICM can be reached quickly by subway, bus or car.

An outstanding infrastructure links
Munich to the whole of Europe.

With or without a car, Munich always keeps you moving – with plenty of fascinating places to discover along the way.

between meadows and mountains

A recent Mercer study ranks Munich as the city with the best quality of life in Germany. And no wonder: Where else can you find city life, countryside and recreation as closely interwoven as they are here?

With its broad, flat banks and spacious riverside meadows, the Isar is a blue lifeline where you can stroll, paddle and cycle to your heart‘s content. Countless extensive parklands make the whole city a green oasis: the Olympic Park, Westpark, Nymphenburg Park and Hellabrunn Zoo to name but a few. First among equals, however, is unquestionably the English Garden!

Beauty beyond words: The foothills of the Alps are heaven on earth.

Germany’s largest urban park enchants locals and tourists alike with its picturesque streams, lakes and meadows, not to mention its cafés and beer gardens. Relax over a mug of beer or an apple spritzer under blossoming chestnut trees and experience pure joie de vivre! Eisbach surfing is a world-famous attraction too: All year round, ambitious board artists balance atop the ultimate standing wave.

Munich’s surroundings are equally legendary. The charming Alpine landscape is full of wonderful opportunities for hiking, climbing or biking in clean air and the great outdoors. Lake Starnberg and Lake Ammersee, wildlife and bird sanctuaries plus a multitude of attractions and natural beauty spots have something to delight literally everyone.

The Isar’s riverside meadows: Experience nature and enjoy the Bavarian way of life right in the city center.

Knowledge is the lifeblood of Munich‘s economy: Every third employee has a university degree.

Munich is the most livable city in Germany – and for many it is also the most lovable. The lifestyle magazine Monocle put Munich at the top of its ranking of cities with the highest quality of life and the New York Times also loves this „picture-postcard city“. It is true: Choose any measure – the economy, education, infrastructure, public safety, culture or the quality of life – in all of these Munich is a real champion. The same goes for football of course, where Bayern Munich is one of the world‘s most successful clubs. Not to mention the Oktoberfest, which has been copied around the world – but nothing beats the original.

Look no further!

The Viktualienmarkt is the beating heart of Munich‘s culinary scene, a highlight at any time of year with its dazzling display of delicacies. Incidentally, the German word Viktualien means victuals, i.e. food and provisions.

Straddling the Isar River, Munich combines a homely, traditional appeal with the flair of a cosmopolitan city, a thoroughly modern lifestyle and worldclass culture. Its people are friendly, down-to-earth and open-minded. And there is no end of things to see and do: the towering Frauenkirche cathedral, the central Marienplatz square, beer gardens, the fabled Hofbräuhaus, the English Garden, the traditional Viktualienmarkt (food market) and luxury shopping in the city‘s exquisite retail districts. Meanwhile, students shape the vibrant, charming and laidback scene in the hippest quarters: Maxvorstadt, Schwabing and the area around the Glockenbachviertel, for example. The bar and nightclub scene is similarly popular. Whether you are into house, techno or electronic music, a hundred or so clubs leave you no shortage of dancefloors. Connoisseurs and foodies of all persuasions likewise thrill to the singular culinary diversity of Munich, where local and traditional influences blend with Mediterranean and international cuisine.

Red-hot passion: Soccer fans aren’t the only ones who know the world- famous Allianz Arena, home to the most important matches.

Industry 4.0, big data and connectivity: The digital transformation is happening even faster in Munich.

    MUNICH MOZART´S STAY The life and work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is closely connected to Munich, a centre of the German music patronage. Two of his most famous works Mozart composed in the residence city of Munich: On the 13th January, 1775 the premiere from „La finta giardinera “took place, on the 29th January, 1781 the opera "Idomeneo" was launched at Cuvilliés Theater. Already during his first trip at the age of six years Wolfgang played together with his sister Nannerl for Elector Maximilian Joseph III. The second visit followed a year later, in June, 1763. From Munich the Mozart family started to their three year European journey to Paris and London. On the way back from this triumphal journey they stopped in Munich again and Mozart gave concerts at the Emperors court. Main focus of the next trip to Munich (1774 – in 1775) was the premiere of the opera "La finta giardiniera" at the Salvatortheater. In 1777 when Wolfgang and his mother were on the way to Paris Munich was destination again and they stayed 14 days in the Isar city. Unfortunately, at that time Wolfgang aspired in vain to and permanent employment. Idomeneo, an opera which Mozart had composed by order of Elector Karl Theodor, was performed in Munich for the first time at the glamorous rococo theatre in the Munich palace, the Cuvilliés Theater. With pleasure he would have remained in Munich, however, there was, unfortunately, none „vacatur “for him again. In 1790 Mozart came for the last time to Munich on his trip to the coronation of Leopold II in Frankfurt.

The Study has been undertaken to define priority wetland and floodplain rehabilitation sites as a component of the Pollution reduction Programme. The present report addresses the identification of former floodplains and wetlands in the Danube River Basin, as well as the description of the current status and evaluation of the ecological importance of the potential for rehabilitation. Based on this evaluation, 17 wetland/floodplain sites have been identified for rehabilitation considering their ecological importance, their nutrient removal capacity and their role in flood protection. Most of the identified wetlands will require transboundary cooperation and represent an important first step in retoring the ecological balance in the Danube River Basin. The results are presented in the form of thematic maps that can be found in Annex I of the study. The study was prepared by the WWF-Danube-Carpathian-Programme and the WWF-Auen-Institut (Institute for Floodplains Ecology, WWF-Germany), under the guidance of the UNDP/GEF team of experts of the Danube Programme Coordination Unit (DPCU) in Vienna, Austria.
