During the tour, the discussion will cover both the bright and challenging aspects of German history. Participants will explore Bavaria’s history, starting from the Roman origins of the city, through 700 years of rule by the influential Wittelsbach family, to the 19th-century unification of Germany by Bismarck. The tour will visit sites significant to the rise of Nazism, as well as locations where Joseph Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, served as an archbishop. Additionally, visitors will witness what might be considered the city’s most underwhelming attraction—a display of knightly figure battles in the city’s carillon.
Join the walk to discover a city that uniquely blends seemingly opposing elements: history and motoring, art and technology, entrepreneurship, and the distinctive lifestyle of Munich’s residents, characterized by self-assurance, freedom, and joy. Perhaps these contradictions are harmoniously united by what Munich’s people value most… beer!
