00:54 Mega Village, Isar, Athens.
00:58 City with a heart.
01:00 There are many names for our city.
01:03 Welcome to Munich.
01:04 One of its most characteristic landmarks
01:11 is the Cathedral of Our Lady.
01:14 You can't lose your way, because you just
01:16 need to look up at its steeples, soaring up
01:18 to a height of 99 meters, and you know where you are.
01:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:24 The splendid tomb was built for Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria
01:36 and in honor of the Wittelsbach dynasty, who ruled
01:39 Bavaria for more than 700 years.
01:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:49 Just a few minutes' walk will take you
01:56 to St. Peter's Church, Munich's oldest parish church.
02:00 To climb its steeple, called Old Peter by the people,
02:07 is a rather breathtaking experience.
02:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:13 Marienplatz, St. Mary's Square, with the city hall,
02:19 is the center of Munich.
02:20 In former times, corn was sold here.
02:22 Every now and then, concerts are given in the square.
02:30 At other times, you might run into a political demonstration.
02:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:36 At 11 o'clock, the famous chimes,
02:38 called the Glockenspiel, start.
02:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:44 The Dance of the Coopers commemorates
02:51 the members of this trade being the first ones
02:53 after the great plague of the 16th century
02:56 to be out on the streets again.
03:04 These characters originate in a knight's tournament
03:07 at the wedding of a Bavarian duke in the year 1568.
03:13 In the Thirty Years' War, Munich was
03:15 occupied by the Swedish army.
03:18 Yet the city wasn't ravaged.
03:20 Out of gratitude in the year 1638,
03:22 Elector Maximilian I donated this pillar,
03:26 on top the Blessed Virgin who is considered
03:28 the patroness of Bavaria.
03:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:34 The Fish Fountain is a popular meeting point.
03:37 On Ash Wednesday, both the Lord Mayor and the citizens
03:40 of Munich wash their purses in it,
03:43 according to an old superstition that makes sure
03:45 you never run out of money.
03:48 And you can afford another taxi ride.
03:50 [CHATTER]
03:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:02 Before you concentrate on other attractions,
04:05 you should get to know the people of Munich.
04:07 They are considered a special breed,
04:09 and Munich wouldn't be the same without them.
04:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:15 On the first sunny day in spring,
04:17 nobody can bear to stay inside their own four walls.
04:20 The open air season in Italy's northernmost city has begun.
04:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:28 [HORSE GALLOPING]
04:31 Skirts are getting shorter.
04:41 A great sense of excitement lies over the place.
04:44 And the only thing that can cool the tempers
04:46 is a dip in the Isar.
04:47 Although some just want to sit down and muse on life.
04:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:58 Foreigners are gladly helped to find their way.
05:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:04 The gardens of the formal royal residence
05:07 is the place to go at lunchtime, unless you have
05:10 to look after a hungry crowd.
05:12 Loving your bird might mean to give it
05:16 a break in the fresh air.
05:18 But while doing so, you wouldn't want to be bothered by anyone.
05:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:25 [HORSE GALLOPING]
05:29 After all this hardship, it's time for a nap.
05:35 You may look for the company of Mr. Goethe
05:40 or of the anti-characters of the gluptotate.
05:43 Before dusk, one has a quick look
05:48 into the newly built five courts.
05:51 There's no point in trying to revive
05:53 the stereotypical image of the lederhosen-clad Bavarian.
05:57 He exists only in the shop windows.
05:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:02 The shops in Dienerstrasse set great value
06:10 in high quality products.
06:13 Dalmier, a family business with a long tradition,
06:16 is one of them.
06:18 They sell fine cigars, freshly roasted coffee,
06:22 and deli produce from all over the world.
06:25 The old court was originally both a castle
06:32 of the Wittelsbach family and the residence of Emperor Ludwig
06:36 the Bavarian.
06:36 Unfortunately, legal parking space is scarce.
06:43 Max-Joseph Square is named after the first king of Bavaria.
06:51 His bronze statue stands in the center of the square.
06:56 The National Theater behind it is a great place
06:58 for lovers of the opera and the ballet.
07:03 Like the fancy state-run drama theater,
07:05 it is located in the formal royal residence.
07:09 The performances in front of it are free sometimes.
07:11 The former residence of a nobleman
07:16 now houses the town's most important cultural asset,
07:19 the Royal Palace.
07:21 The Royal Palace is now the residence of the General
07:23 Post Office.
07:24 Stamps are still the same price as everywhere else.
07:27 The older restaurants serve traditional food.
07:35 The distinction of the area is reflected
07:37 by the prices charged in the upmarket shops nearby.
07:40 Many a passerby rubs the nozzles of the lions
07:48 to a local superstition.
07:49 This is supposed to bring good luck.
07:51 The elegant building was the main residence
08:05 of the Wittelsbach dynasty.
08:07 It developed from a castle into a palace.
08:10 The Patrona Bavaria, with the infant Jesus in her arms,
08:14 is the protectress of Bavaria.
08:17 The monarch has inherited many priceless treasures
08:20 from the Wittelsbach dynasty.
08:23 The ancestral gallery includes portraits
08:26 of the Bavarian monarchs.
08:27 Five of them ascended the throne--
08:29 Maximilian I, Ludwig I, Maximilian II, Ludwig II,
08:40 and Ludwig III.
08:41 In summer, this courtyard of the residence
08:46 makes the perfect scene for open-air concerts.
08:48 The prizing palais is Munich's oldest Rococo palace.
08:59 Just a few steps away is Odeonsplatz,
09:04 dominated by the Theatine Church.
09:07 The parents of Elector Max Emmanuel
09:09 donated this church in 1662 to the Order of the Theatines
09:14 in gratitude for the birth of the long-awaited heir
09:17 to the throne.
09:18 The architects Barelli and Zuccali
09:20 introduced Italian style to Munich.
09:22 The church is a symbol of the Roman Catholic Church.
09:30 It is the oldest Roman Catholic church in the world.
09:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:36 The Feldherrnhalle was completed in 1844.
09:45 Nobody needs to be afraid of the fierce-looking lions.
09:48 The two bronze statues represent the generals Tilli and Friede.
09:57 In the center, a memorial to the soldiers of the Bavarian army.
10:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:05 On Wittelsbacher Square, the monument of a horseman
10:13 commemorates Elector Maximilian I.
10:16 He ruled Bavaria during the Thirty Years' War.
10:19 Next to it is the statue of Louis de Polt.
10:22 At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century,
10:25 the prince regent was very popular with the people.
10:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:31 Hitler called Munich the city of the movement.
10:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:38 An ever-burning flame calls to mind the dreadful times
10:46 when Munich's synagogues were destroyed.
10:49 Non-Aryans and dissenters were carried off
10:51 to the concentration camps.
10:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:57 Books were publicly burnt.
11:00 Hitler's headquarters was turned into the high school
11:03 for music after the war.
11:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:08 Karolinenplatz, the black obelisk in the center of the square,
11:14 is a memorial for 30,000 Bavarian soldiers.
11:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:24 Lovers of the arts are close to the objects of their passion.
11:28 Just one tram stop further on, they find three more large museums--
11:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:35 --the Pinakothek der Moderne, and the Alte Pinakothek,
11:40 with 14th to 18th century European paintings.
11:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:45 The Neue Pinakothek, just opposite,
11:47 offers an overview of European art from classicism to art nouveau.
11:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:54 This used to be the villa of the renowned artist Franz von Lehnbach.
12:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:03 It now houses a municipal gallery with works of painters from Munich,
12:07 as well as famous expressionists.
12:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:12 The architectural style of the buildings around Königsplatz
12:15 gave Munich the nickname Isar Athens.
12:19 King Ludwig I wanted a public square that looked like an antique one.
12:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:26 In the Gluckthoteik, ancient Greek art is on exhibit.
12:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:32 The state-owned collection of antiquities
12:40 displays vases, bronzes, and jewelry.
12:44 The propolis were completed in 1862.
12:47 They are the gateway through which one left for Nymphenburg Castle.
12:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:54 Nymphenburg Castle was a summer residence
13:01 of the Bavarian electors and kings.
13:04 The former stables have been transformed
13:06 into a museum for the royal chariots.
13:08 You can also visit the porcelain collection
13:11 and the gallery of beauties, portraits of pretty young ladies.
13:16 People, young and old, love to relax in the 500-acre park area.
13:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:32 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:35 This structure, called the Magdalenenklauser,
13:59 was once a place for meditation, whereas Pagodenburg
14:03 was the first small garden palace in the park.
14:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:09 We cross the canal and discover the hidden pan.
14:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:33 In the Badenburg, we find Munich's first indoor pool.
14:38 The Amalienburg is considered the finest Rococo castle in Germany.
14:46 There is no better place to read and dream.
14:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
15:08 Munich has a large number of beautiful fountains.
15:12 On a hot day, some of them are not just admired,
15:15 but used in a very practical way.
15:18 A real good beer has to be cold.
15:22 Even for lunch, the local people can manage one or two.
15:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
15:32 It's more genuine, but more expensive,
15:36 to have it from a real beer stein.
15:39 Every inch of the froth is precious.
15:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
15:45 In Munich, there's a law of nature.
15:48 The price of the beer goes up every year.
15:51 Everybody hates it, but it makes a wonderful subject to talk about
15:56 once you meet strangers.
15:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:02 One is always busy getting fresh refills.
16:05 After all, drinking a giant mug of cool beer
16:08 is an essential part of the Munich experience.
16:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:15 This splendid street was built at the instigation of King Ludwig I.
16:22 It's one kilometer from the Feldherrnhalle
16:25 at the southern end to the Siegestor.
16:28 Ludwig I had to resign in 1848.
16:32 His affair with the dancer Lola Montes
16:35 triggered off a revolution in Bavaria.
16:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:45 In this building, Princess Elizabeth, called Sissi, was born.
16:53 She later became Empress of Austria.
16:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:58 The Bavarian State Library contains more than 7 million books.
17:03 Reading them all would certainly make you just as famous
17:07 as the antique writers and philosophers guarding the entrance.
17:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:14 St. Ludwig's Church is both parish and university church.
17:27 Friedrich von Gärtner was the architect.
17:34 On the facade, Jesus Christ and the four evangelists are depicted.
17:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:42 Judgment Day and the other frescoes were painted by Peter Cornelius.
18:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:06 The University of Munich ranges among the biggest universities in Germany.
18:18 It's attended by almost 40,000 students.
18:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:28 The square in front of the main building
18:38 is named after the brothers and sisters Scholl.
18:41 They had formed a resistance movement called the White Rose
18:44 and agitated the Nazi regime by handing out flyers.
18:47 For that, they were sentenced to death.
18:52 The Segestor was originally a triumphal arch in honor of the Bavarian army.
18:57 Today, the inscription says, "Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war,
19:02 calling for peace."
19:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:07 Leopoldstrasse takes you to Schwabing.
19:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:19 This is the lovely view of Munich that you get from the Monopteros,
19:23 a neoclassical rotunda.
19:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:29 The English Garden is more than 200 years old
19:39 and covers almost four square kilometers.
19:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:48 Munich owes it to Count Rumford, an exiled American,
19:54 and landscape architect Ludwig von Skel.
19:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:03 It's rather tempting to take a rest at the restaurant right beside
20:23 Klein Hesse-Lowersee or at the Biergarten.
20:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:30 Cosmopolitan Munich.
20:37 An English garden,
20:40 an Italian ice cream vendor,
20:45 a Japanese tea house,
20:50 and a Chinese tower.
20:55 In the tea house, one can partake in tea ceremonies.
20:59 In the Biergarten at the Chinese tower, people follow a different ritual.
21:07 It is centered around a brew that until this day
21:15 is brewed as directed by the purity edict of 1516.
21:20 It has a very soothing effect on the psyche.
21:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:27 This is the entrance to the Hofgarten.
21:37 The court gardens were created in the early 17th century
21:40 when Italian-style gardens were in fashion.
21:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:50 From the temple, you have a lovely view of the Theatine church.
22:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]

22:28 Here the Prime Minister of the Federal State makes his decisions.

22:36 The Prince Karl Palace is used for official functions.
22:40 Members of foreign governments are received here.

22:47 Today, dramas are performed here and art is exhibited.
22:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:54 Prinz Regentenstraße crosses the Eisbach.

23:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
23:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]
23:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
23:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
23:45 The Bavarian National Museum.

23:52 Louis de Pauld, the Prince Regent.
23:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
23:58 On the right bank of the Isar is the Angel of Peace monument.
24:04 In fact, the angel is a reproduction of an image of Nike,
24:08 the Greek goddess of victory.
24:11 The Statue of Gilded Bronze is four meters high.
24:15 [MUSIC PLAYING]
24:18 Let's move a bit upstream.

24:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
24:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
24:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
25:09 The Maximilienaum was built in the 19th century.
25:13 It is the seat of the Bavarian Parliament.
25:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
25:37 The tramway goes right around the monument of Maximilian II.
25:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
25:45 An allegorical figure of justice surmounts the building
25:55 that houses the government of Upper Bavaria.
25:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:05 Opposite is the Museum of Anthropology.
26:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:13 Now we went to see and to be seen.
26:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:30 The municipal drama theater is called the Kammerspiele.
26:37 People with champagne tastes stay overnight
26:40 in the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten.
26:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:45 You can get everything on Maximilianstrasse.
26:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:55 Munich's most noble shopping street
27:06 is the place for the rich and the beautiful,
27:09 as well as for the wannabes.
27:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
27:14 From the old post office, it isn't far to Platzl,
27:18 the location of a world famous place.
27:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
27:24 For tourists, a visit to the Hofbräuhaus is a must.
27:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
27:33 It was founded in the year 1589.
27:37 Being thirsty is worse than being homesick.
27:40 This was true back then.
27:42 It still is today.
27:44 The Schwemme is the main beer hall.
27:46 Bavarian brass bands entertain the guests
27:49 while they are drinking their beer
27:51 and eating the hearty traditional dishes.
27:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
27:56 Weisswurst definitely has to go with sweet mustard.
28:01 You can cut the sausage lengthwise or slice it.
28:06 Local traditionalists suck the contents out of the skin.
28:11 There are tables specially reserved for regular customers
28:14 with permanently dry throats.
28:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
28:19 The more beer, the greater the urge to talk.
28:27 But even though some raise their voices to a considerable level,
28:31 they usually keep the peace.
28:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
28:36 Here, the whole world was a guest.
28:39 And that's the way it shall remain.
28:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
28:44 This area was laid out for the Olympic Games in 1972.
29:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
29:05 [BIRDS CHIRPING]
29:08 In this stadium, the German soccer team
29:14 won the 1974 World Championship.
29:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
29:20 From the revolving restaurant in the tower,
29:26 there is a terrific view.
29:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
29:32 [BELLS RINGING]
29:35 World famous, the tent-like construction
29:42 designed by architect Benesch.
29:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]
29:47 This is where the BMW car manufacturer
29:51 has its headquarters.
29:54 The park with the artificial lake serves mainly recreational
29:57 and sporting purposes.
30:00 Yet stars aren't born.
30:02 Practice makes perfect.
30:07 [DOG BARKING]
30:13 The Theatron is an open-air stage.
30:17 Munich-based bands give free concerts here.

30:26 [BELLS RINGING]
30:29 Sometimes music and dance continues late into the night.
30:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]
30:54 The Viktualienmarkt.
30:55 The figures on the plaques indicate the trade being
31:02 conducted here.
31:03 In Viktualienmarkt, the gourmet finds
31:14 every kind of tasty food.
31:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
31:20 [BELLS RINGING]
31:46 This fountain commemorates the local singer and comedian
31:49 Liesel Kallstadt.
31:50 Her partner, Karl Valentin, died from a cold,
31:56 which in winter he would certainly get here.
31:59 The Valentin Kallstadt Museum is located in the Isotor,
32:05 one of the three remaining city gates.
32:09 Ludwigsbrücke.
32:10 Right here was an older bridge around which in the year 1158
32:14 the settlement developed that came to be Munich.
32:17 The statues represent the ancient trade of rafting,
32:25 industry, and the arts.
32:28 The Father Rhine fountain was designed by Adolf von Hildebrandt.
32:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]

33:35 The Classicist building of the Gärtnerplatz Theater
33:41 was financed by the citizens of Munich.
33:44 It was opened in 1865.
33:47 Today it puts on mainly musicals and operettas.
33:59 The architect was Friedrich von Gärtner.
34:02 He and his colleague Leo von Klenze
34:05 are largely responsible for the architectural character of Munich.
34:09 St. John of Nepomuk Church is popularly known as Asamkirche
34:18 because it was built and decorated by Egil Quirin
34:22 and Cosmas Damian Asam.
34:24 The two brothers were great Rococo artists.
34:27 [CHOIR SINGING]
34:55 The Sendli Gate dates back to the 14th century.
34:59 From there, Sonnenstrasse leads in the direction of Karlsplatz,
35:04 a square usually called Stachus by the locals.
35:08 Entering the fountain is strictly permitted.
35:21 Whoever is tired now walks past the little boy fountain
35:25 into the pedestrian area.
35:28 Just a quick glance at the Richard Strauss fountain
35:34 and it's time for a break.
35:36 That's what cafes and a traditional guest house are there for.
35:40 The longer walk takes us to the western part of the city center,
35:47 where the old botanical garden and the Fountain of Neptune are located.
35:52 We walk past the Court of Justice and the Bavarian Stock Exchange
35:56 in the direction of Lehnbachplatz.
35:59 The Wittelsbacher Fountain was built by Adolf von Hildebrandt.
36:09 [MUSIC]
36:12 The Künstlerhaus is a place where concerts and celebrations take place.
36:35 The Church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1704
36:39 in order to keep all harm away from the city.
36:43 But higher powers could not be bought off.
36:46 Just one year later, Munich was occupied by Austrian troops.
36:50 On Promenadenplatz is the five-star luxury hotel Bayerischer Hof.
36:57 Even King Ludwig I came here to take a bath.
37:04 In his palace he did not have a tub.
37:07 Watch out for the tram crossing.
37:13 Via Weinstraße we get back to Marienplatz.
37:31 The Oktoberfest starts in September.
37:34 It takes place on the Wiesn, a huge empty meadow at the feet of the Bavaria.
37:40 Carousels, a giant ferris wheel and ever-faster rollercoaster rides
37:53 are not just popular with kids.
37:57 [MUSIC]
38:00 Every year more than six million visitors come to the largest beer festival in the world.
38:08 This great event is sometimes fancy and sometimes frenzy.
38:13 [MUSIC]
