Keep in mind that Munich largely shuts down on Sundays except for church services. Munich accommodations are some of Germany’s best. Before we get to Munich accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

 

Brown House, 1945
Brown House, 1945

 

In reference to 8th-century Benedictine-order monks, who once ran a monastery in Munich’s Old Town area, the name “Munich” derives from the Middle-High German term meaning, “to the monks”. A prehistoric trade route, the river Isar allowed Munich to develop into one of Bronze-Age-Europe’s largest raft ports, with excavated Munich settlements dating back four millennia. In Munich’s southeast Ramersdorf-Perlach (borough) Iron Age Celtic settlements have been discovered. Connecting the Bavarian town of Augsburg with Salzburg, the ancient Roman road Via Julia passed just south of Munich, through the towns of Baierbrunn and Gauting. Also excavated, a Roman settlement appears to have existed in the northeast Denning neighborhood. After the Roman era, the Munich area was populated by Baiuvarii, or Bavarians, with the first Christian church being built in Fröttmanning circa 815 AD. In order to control the salt trade, The Duke of Saxony and Bavaria’s Henry the Lion are considered as possible founders of Munich around the mid-12th century. Shards of 11th-century vessels, however, found in 2012 at Marienhof Square near Marienplatz may point to an earlier founding date than the officially recognized date, June 14, 1158. St. Peter’s Church, therefore, may have been built earlier as well. Regardless of Munich’s exact founding date is that upstream, near modern Old Town, Henry the Lion built a new toll bridge, a customs house and a coin market. Cistercian-German churchman Otto of Freising, in protest of the new toll bridge and through his connections with the Holy Roman Empire, eventually was awarded a third of the toll bridge’s income. Munich received city status and fortifications in 1175. Subsequently, through a falling-out with Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarosa (Otto of Freising’s uncle), Henry the Lion was exiled in 1180. Not surprisingly, Munich was given to the Bishop of Freising following Henry’s exile. Red-headed Otto I Wittelsbach, marking the beginning of an 800-year House of Wittelsbach Bavarian dynasty, became Duke of Bavaria in 1156. A native of Munich, Duke Louis IV was elected German king in 1314, and Holy Roman Emperor in 1328. Louis IV granted Munich a salt monopoly, which naturally contributed to the city’s growth. About a third of Munich was destroyed by fire on February 13, 1327, and in 1349 the Black Death further ravaged the town, along with Bavaria as a whole. In 1385, the first buildings of the Munich Residenz, or royal palace, were erected. Gothic arts revived Munich during the 15th century, a period when Old Town expanded and the modern Frauenkirche Gothic church was built in just 20 years. In 1506, following the Landshut War of Succession between Bavaria-Munich and Bavaria-Landshut / County Palatine of the Rhine, through which Bavaria-Munich arose victorious, Munich became the sole capital of Bavaria. A House of Wittelsbach Renaissance movement saw to the Antiquarium’s (collection of Greek / Roman antiquities) installment in the Munich Residenz along with a court orchestra, which promoted the city’s brief nickname, “German Rome”. Munich’s Hofbräuhaus, established solely for the purpose of supplying beer to the Bavarian court, was built for brewing brown beer on September 27, 1589 by Bavarian Duke Wilhelm the 5th. The Catholic League was founded in the city circa 1609. Around the Thirty Years’ War’s(1618–1648) midpoint, Munich was occupied briefly by Gustav II Adolph of Sweden. Bubonic plague struck again in 1634, killing a third of the city’s population. Throughout the 18th century, the House of Wittelsbach continued to hold power. Munich became an important center of Baroque life. German nobleman Charles Theodore, or Karl Theodor, of the House of Wittelsbach’s Suizbach branch, inherited Bavarian lands in 1777. Around the time of the American Revolution, Theodore invited Colonial Massachusetts-born, British physicist, inventor and lieutenant-colonel of the King’s American Dragoons (British provincial military unit – raised for Loyalist service) Count Rumford Benjamin Thompson to Munich in order to implement “social reforms”. Additionally, the Bavarian army, established in 1682, was to be restructured. Karl Theodor and Count Rumford demolished the city’s fortifications. As a result of their being forced to live in newly built workhouses, Munich’s residents, across multiple trades, decided to build a new community outside the city walls in 1793. Through an alliance with Napoleonic France, the Kingdom of Bavaria was formed in 1806, with Munich remaining its capital. Maximilian I Joseph (House of Wittelsbach – Palatinate-Birkenfield-Zweibrücken branch) became the Kingdom’s first king. Maximillian’s goals were to secularize Bavaria by dissolving all monasteries in 1802 and by generating state revenues from sold-off church lands, and to control beer-brewing rights by handing the brewing monopoly to Munich’s wealthiest brewers, who in turn paid considerable taxes on their beer production. In October 1810, the first beer festival, which would evolve into today’s Oktoberfest, was held to commemorate the crown price (Ludwig I) and princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen‘s royal wedding. Beer became so important to Munich that it was even considered a staple food. Beginning in 1826, the city’s finest buildings would be constructed by the Bavarian kings Ludwig I, Ludwig II and Otto (never actively ruled – supposed mental illness). On June 10th, 1865, Richard Wagner’s tragic opera Tristan und Isolde premiered in Munich. About 75 miles east of Munich, in the Austrian town of Braunau am Inn, eventual German Führer Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. German mechanical engineer, physicist and professor of Physics at the University of Munich, Wilhelm Röntgen, for his production and detection of electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range (X-rays), was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics circa 1901. By the early 20th century, Munich had become a major center for the Jugendstil artistic movement, which combined liberal magazine culture with progressive industrial design and architecture. Also in the early-20th century, southern Germany was home to beer halls, where hundreds-to-thousands of people would come in the evenings to socialize, engage in political debates and even host political rallies. Following World War I, it was widely believed in Germany that the Imperial German Army did not, in fact, lose on the battlefield, but rather was betrayed, or “stabbed in the back”, on the home-front by certain citizens, particularly Jews, socialists and politicians who had overthrown the House of Hohenzollern. Adolf Hitler, who had fought in the German Army during the First World War, and who was a post-war agent of the Bavarian Army’s Intelligence Division, was ordered to infiltrate the German Workers’ Party (DAP), which Hitler, in turn, joined on September 12, 1919. Agreeing with many of the DAP’s underlying tenants, Hitler rose to its top-post during Munich’s post-war political chaos. Inspired by Benito Mussolini’s successful March on Rome, Hitler, along with a league of nationalist fighting societies known as the Kampfbund, began planning (October 22-29, 1922) a similar march against the Weimar Republic in Berlin, with Munich as his home-base. Roughly a year later, commencing in totalitarian-fashion during a  period of terror and political violence in Munich, a ruling triumvirate (conservative monarchist politician and jurist Gustav Ritter von Kahr, state police chief Colonel Hans Ritter von Seisser and Reichswehr General Otto von Lossow) banned Hitler from holding 14 planned mass meetings in September 1923. Realizing that Kahr would stand in the way against his march against the Weimer Republic, Hitler undertook one of the most significant events in Munich’s more recent history, the Beer Hall Putsch. On November 8, 1923, Hitler, along with the Sturmabteilung (original Nazi Party paramilitary), marched on the Bürgerbräukeller beer hall where Kahr was making a speech in front of 3,000 people, surrounded the hall, and set up a machine gun in the auditorium. Now inside the beer hall with his associates, and unable to be heard above the crowd, Hitler fired a shot into the ceiling, jumped on a chair and yelled “The national revolution has broken out! The hall is surrounded by six hundred men. Nobody is allowed to leave.” Hitler’s putsch was not immediately successful and proved fatal, as 15 Kampfbund and 4 Weimar Republic belligerents were killed. Arrested shortly thereafter, Hitler was sent to trial. Pro-Nazi, the lay judges actually may have acquitted Hitler, had it not been for presiding Judge Georg Neithardt’s influence, and Hitler was sentenced to five years in Festungshaft (fortress confinement) for treason. During his confinement at Landsberg Prison, Hitler wrote the first volume of his autobiographical manifesto Mein Kampf, within which Chapter IV is titled “Munich”. In Chapter IV, Hitler starts with “One must know Munich if one would know Germany”. Hitler was released from Festungshaft after only eight months for good behavior. In retrospect, although unsuccessful, Hitler’s beer hall putsch was not only a defining moment for Munich, but also for the trajectory of the world, as it gave Hitler and the Nazis their first national attention, as well as a propaganda victory. Post-1933 Munich became an important city for the Nazi Party, as its headquarters was based at the Brown House between the Karolinenplatz and Königsplatz. Dachau, the first concentration camp, was built roughly 10 miles northwest of Munich. During World War II, Munich was bombed heavily. In 1945, after the war, a United States occupation of Munich saw to a meticulous rebuilding plan, whereby the city’s pre-war street grid would be preserved. Munich hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics, along with six 2006 FIFA Word Cup matches at Allianz Arena.

Bavaria’s capital and most populous city, Munich is home to around 1.5 million “Münchners” (male) and “Münchnerins” (female) altogether. Munich’s colors are black and yellow, while Bavaria’s are blue and white. Munich is Germany’s third-largest city behind Berlin and Hamburg. A high standard of living is expected in Village of a Million People, though its real estate prices and rental costs are some of Germany’s highest. About 30% of Munich’s residents are foreigners. BMW is based in Munich. Historically influential and at times volatile, Munich’s city council today consists of 13 different political groups. Munich’s Landtag of Bavaria (Bavarian State Parliament) assembles at the Maximilianeum (palatial building). Situated on Upper Bavaria’s elevated plains, Munich is surrounded by a number of varying natural habitats to include rivers, plateaus, foothills, flint areas, moraines, glacial out-washes and marshes. Beyond the skyline, the distant, snow-capped Bavarian Alps can be observed from certain higher points within the city. Munich experiences warm / hot summers and cold winters. July high temperatures average around 76 ℉, while January winters are around 38 ℉. During Oktoberfest, daytime highs average a pleasant 60 degrees. October is usually Germany’s driest month. In winter, snow and frost are not uncommon, though snow cover is typically brief. Additional points of interest include Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), Heilig-Geist-Kirche (Holy Ghost Church), Feldherrnhalle (monumental loggia – site of the Beer Hall Putsch battle), Bavarian National Museum (decorative arts museum), National Theatre (historic opera house), The Glyptothek (sculpture museum), Olympiaturm (The Olympic Tower), Olympiapark (Olympic Park – site of 1972 Summer Olympics), BMW Welt (exhibition / event venue / museum), Old Town Hall (Gothic city council building), Ludwigstraße (royal avenue), Rindermarkt (old street – originally a cattle marketplace), Mariensäule (Marian column – Marienplatz), Ruffinihaus (three-sided house), Augustiner Brewery and Bahnwärter Thiel (cultural center). Local foods include schnitzel, bratwurst, weißwürste (white veal sausage), hendl (roast chicken), steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick),  haxen (braised pork knuckle), leberkäse (loaf-formed sausage),  allgäuer käsespätzle (Bavarian mac & cheese), obazda (Bavarian cheese spread), kartoffelsalat (German potato salad), kartoffelsuppe (German potato soup), leberknödelsuppe (Liver dumpling soup), spätzle (egg noodles), brezeln (pretzel),  schmalznudel (Bavarian doughnut) and apfelstrudel (apple strudel). “Liquid bread” beer types include weissbier (wheat beer), helles (pale lager), dunkles (dark beer), starkbier (strong beer) and märzen (pale, amber or dark-brown lager – higher alcohol content than regular Helles – popular at Oktoberfest). Also popular are wine (red and white ) and cider. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Munich accommodations that will help make for an excellent trip.

Berlin Accommodations

Berlin accommodations

Berlin accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “Grey City”.

Berlin known for: plazas, WWII & Cold War sites, shopping malls, beer gardens, chocolate, museums, theaters, parks, Michelin restaurants, nightclubs, fashion

Located in northeastern Germany, Berlin is about 180 miles southeast of Germany’s second-largest city, Hamburg. Ultimately flowing through central Berlin, the Spree River rises in the Lusatian Highlands. The Spree forms the Spree Forest (large inland delta – about 60 miles southeast) and proceeds through Lake Schwielochsee before entering the city.

Frederick, Prince of Hohenzollern & Family, 1932
Frederick, Prince of Hohenzollern & Family, 1932

 

Humans have settled the Berlin area for an estimated 60,000 years. A 9000-BC deer mask has been discovered in the area. Throughout its early history the Berlin area was inhabited by the Lusatian culture, Germanic tribes, Semnones, Burgundians, Hevelli and Sprevane, respectively (2,000 BC – 7th century). As part of the Holy Roman Empire’s Margraviate of Brandenburg (1157AD-1806) the region fell under Germanic rule (12th century), with Albert the Bear founding Brandenburg circa 1157. Berlin is thought to have been founded circa 1237. Remnants of a 1280 AD house foundation have been found in Berlin Mitte. A “staple right” was awarded to Berlin on account of two trade routes, Via Imperii (Holy Roman Empire route) and an eastern-reaching, Bruges-Novgorod route, which passed through the city. A staple right was the right to hold a “regular market”. Merchants were forced either to make staple-right city stops along the tollway or pay a trade tax in order to avoid a staple-right city. Comprised altogether of Brandenburg electors, Prussian kings and German emperors, the House of Hohenzollern ruled Berlin from the late-11th century to 1918. The towns of Spandau and Köpenick formed an alliance in 1307. “Irontooth” Frederick II constructed the Royal Palace (starting 1448). The palace first-served as royal residence in 1486, when John II (posthumously “John Cicero”) rose to power. Berlin-Cölln lost its status as a “free Hanseatic League city” and officially became Lutheran in 1539. The Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648) took a heavy toll on Berlin, with about half of the city’s population killed, and a third of its houses either damaged or destroyed. Frederick William initiated a policy in 1640 to promote immigration and religious tolerance. By the year 1700 about 30 percent of Berlin’s population had become French (Huguenot immigration), with additional immigrants arriving from Bohemia, Poland and Salzburg. A personal union between the Margraviate of Brandenburg and the Duchy of Prussia formed the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701. Elector of Brandenburg Frederick III crowned himself King Frederick I. Centralizing power, Frederick I replaced Königsberg (Kalingrad, Russia) with Berlin as the Kingdom of Prussia’s capital city. In 1709 Berlin merged with the four cities of Cölln, Friedrichswerder, Friedrichstadt and Dorotheenstadt. Frederick II “Frederick the Great ” rose to power in 1740 and saw both a period of Enlightenment and the Seven Years’ War. The War of the Fourth Coalition (1806–1807) between France and Prussia saw Napoleon Bonaparte arise victorious. Napoleon marched into Berlin in 1806 but ultimately granted the city self-government. Berlin would become part of the “Province of Brandenburg” circa 1815. The 19th-century Industrial Revolution saw Berlin become Germany’s main railway hub and economic center, while the city’s suburban areas expanded. In 1871 Berlin became the newly-founded German Empire‘s capital. Berlin city district separated from Brandenburg ten years later. German Expressionism (cultural movement) sprung-up in the early 20th century. Following World War I The Weimar Republic was proclaimed,, with Berlin remaining capital city. A time of prosperity in the western world, the Roaring Twenties would be a period of economic uncertainty for Berlin. Albert Einstein lived in Berlin (1914-1932) and received the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics. Curious enough Einstein left Germany in 1932 to lecture in America and would never return to Germany. From 1933 to 1939 about 80,000 (half) of Berlin’s Jewish population emigrated from the city. Having first gone to Berlin in 1921 on a Nazi Party fundraising trip, Adolf Hitler returned to the city as Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. Inspired by certain architecture that he had seen in Vienna, Hitler had grand architectural designs planned for Berlin (never fully realized). The 1936 Summer Olympics were held in Berlin (Olympiastadion built for the occasion). Instigated by the assassination of a German diplomat (Ernst vom Rath) by Polish-Jewish Welmar-Germany expatriate Herschel Grynszpan in Paris, Germany’s November 9, 1938 Kristallnacht (“Night of Broken Glass” / “November pogroms”) saw at least 91 deaths, Jewish structures damaged / destroyed and thousands of Jews imprisoned (Berlin – Sachsenhausen concentration camp). Holding not only Jews but other people from across Europe along with Allied POWs, multiple Nazi prisons and camps existed in Berlin throughout World War II. Allied air raids to include the 1945 Battle of Berlin destroyed large parts of Berlin while causing heavy civilian casualties from 1943-45. Presumably (Soviet account) Hitler was killed in Berlin’s Führerbunker on January 16, 1945. Following the Second World War Berlin was divided into West (United States, United Kingdom & France) and East (Soviet Union), with all four “Allies” sharing administrative responsibilities. The Cold War was spurred by events such as the Berlin Blockade, where the Western Allies’ introduction of the Deutsche Mark into West Berlin caused the Soviet Union to block access to railways, roads and canals. The Berlin Airlift (Summer 1948 – Fall 1949) saw American and British air forces drop supplies onto West Berlin. Over 250,000 total flights dropped up to 12,941 tons of supplies (food and fuel) per day. In 1949 the Federal Republic of Germany was founded in West Germany. Meanwhile, the Marxist–Leninist German Democratic Republic formed in East Germany. With the Cold War curtain closing, the Berlin Wall was to be be built around the entirety of West Berlin starting 1961. An infamous US-Soviet tank standoff occurred at “Checkpoint Charlie”, a Berlin Wall crossing point (East & West Berlin) during the Cold War.  3 months before his assassination President John F. Kennedy gave his June 26, 1963 Ich bin ein Berliner speech in West Berlin, which renounced Communism. East and West Berlin foreign ministers met for a 1971 Four-Power agreement that guaranteed safe-passage between East and West Berlin. On June 12, 1987 President Ronald Reagan gave a speech at Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin, infamously calling-on Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” With the Winston Churchill-dubbed “Iron Curtain” reopening on August 19, 1989, followed by the Berlin Wall’s destruction on November 9th of the same year, the German people could finally find respite. Following the Cold War Berlin experienced significant urban development. United States, French and British soldiers marched in a June 18, 1994 Berlin parade to commemorate the reunification of the city.

Home to over 3.8 million “Berliners”, Berlin is Germany’s capital and largest city. About 85% of Berlin’s economy is derived through the service sector. A stadtstaaten (city-state) as well as a federal state, Berlin accommodates over 30 million annual visitors. One of the world’s largest botanical gardens is Botanischer Garten, which spans 110 acres and is home to about 22,000 different plant species. An example of canting arms, the city’s coat of arms displays a bear. Berlin experiences a temperate climate. Summers and winters remain relatively mild, with August high temperatures in the upper 70s (Fahrenheit) and January highs in the mid-upper 30s.
