Guided City Tour by bus

Meeting point will be in front of the Westin Grand hotel. Departure is at 11:00, please pick up your tickets from the congress office before 10:30

The cosmopolitan city Munich with heart has a population of 1.3 million and presents itself in various kinds of styles, from the gothic to the modern times. The small settlement having been founded around 1000 by the Benedictine monks from Tegernsee was called APUD MUNICHEN. From that designation the name Munich evolved. The duke of welph, Henry the Lion, founded the city and in the year 1158 it was first mentioned in records.


The style of the modern times places a magnificent emphasis in the Olympic Park and the World of BMW which contrasts with the in one century built old baroque castle Nymphenburg whose foundation stone was laid in 1664. It was here that King Ludwig II, the famous fairytale prince, was born.
It was Ludwig I (grandfather of Ludwig II) who in the 19th Century shaped the city with its Ludwigstraße, Königsplatz ("royal square") and a part of the residence.
 

Munich, known as a magnificent cultural city, has a lot of museums to offer, among them the German Museum presenting technology from the past to modern times, the three famous pinacothecas, Lenbachhaus Art Gallery, the new Brandhorst Museum, the National Museum  as well as the Prehistorical Museum, just to name a few.


The Bavarian State Parliament sits imposingly at the end of the famous Maximilianstraße built by King Max II. Maximilianstraße is also known for its elegant shops.

The Unionsbräu was founded 1885 by councillor of commerce and privy councillor Joseph Schühlein. 20 years later it was one of the largest breweries in Munich. In 1922 the company merged with another brewery, the Löwenbrauerei. In the 1980's the war-damaged listed building was renovated and brought back to public life. Innkeeper Ludwig Hagn founded the homebrewery 1991 with a strong sense of nostalgia and love for details. The popular beers are served in rooms decorated in proper style of bavarian "Gemütlichkeit".

The building of the Munich House of Artists and its culture of festivities has become a part of the history of Munich. It was originally conceived as a place of convergence between culture and society. In its outer appearance the House of Artists is still living proof of the style of its origin in time. In 1893, Prinzregent Luitpold set the foundation stone of the building designed by architect Gabriel von Seidl, and in 1900 he personally opened the house to the public. Thus he fulfilled the dream of the Munich artists united in the "Allotria" society in the 1850s: to bring together the patricians, the well-to-do brewery families and new industralists in one place to meet the artists of the time; Franz von Lenbach, Fritz August Kaulbach and Franz von Stuck are recognized as the hosts and creators behind many glamorous festivities.
