Munich is cosy. Munich is beautiful. Munich is expensive. Munich is a fun and at the same time a single splendour and also totally Upper Bavarian, albeit in its own way, on a Munich level, a city that proudly demonstrates its established traditions and at the same time is a state-of-the-art, efficient and world-class location. In economic, cultural and political terms in particular, the city traditionally occupies a top position in Germany-wide comparison - if not worldwide. The metropolis is one of the economically most successful and fastest growing cities in Europe. In 2014, Munich ranked second among fifty major cities worldwide in terms of infrastructure and fourth in terms of quality of life in the city ranking of Mercer, a consulting firm. In the Future Atlas 2016, Munich County and the independent city of Munich ranked first and second out of 402 counties and independent cities in Germany, making them among the places with "Top Future Opportunities". Here are a few highlights of the city:
Munich was first mentioned in a document in 1158. The city became the Bavarian duke's seat in 1255, was imperial residence from 1328 to 1347 and became the sole capital of Bavaria in 1506. Towards the end of the 18th century Munich grew rapidly, which was accelerated in 1806 when Napoleon elevated Bavaria to the status of Kingdom of Bavaria and Munich became the capital of a country twice as large. Under the reign of King Ludwig I of Bavaria (1825-1848), Munich became a well-known city of art. The classicists Leo von Klenze and Friedrich von Gärtner designed Ludwigstraße, Königsplatz and the extension of the Munich Residenz. The son of Ludwig I, Max II, emerged also as a builder. In the new "Maximilian style", reminiscent of the English Gothic, the buildings on Maximilianstraße, today one of the most exclusive and expensive shopping streets on the continent, were created. During the reign of Max II's brother, Prince Regent Luitpold (1886-1912), Munich experienced a tremendous economic and cultural boom. The Prinzregentenstraße and the Prinzregenten Theatre, among others, were built. Around the turn of the century, Schwabing experienced a heyday as an artists' quarter in which numerous important literary figures and painters of the time lived. Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) was founded in 1911 and finally made Munich a centre of modern art. Its members were Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Alexej von Jawlensky, Gabriele Münter, Franz Marc, August Macke and Alfred Kubin. In the years following World War I, Munich increasingly developed into the nucleus of National Socialist activities. In 1923 the Hitler coup in Munich, with Hitler's march to the Feldherrnhalle in Munich, failed. The National Socialists later honoured Munich as the "capital of the movement".
Marienplatz is regarded as the centre of Munich and is surrounded by the New and Old Town Halls in the centre of the Old Town. Just a few steps away is St. Peter's Church, the oldest church in the historic city centre, the first building of which dates back to the Romanesque period. From the former city fortifications, the historic gates Isartor, Sendlinger Tor, Karlstor as well as the Löwenturm (Lion's Tower) at Rindermarkt can still be seen. The most important secular buildings of the Gothic period are the Old Court, the Old Town Hall with its dance hall and the armoury, which is now part of the City Museum. The Weinstadl, rebuilt in the Renaissance period, has been preserved as one of the oldest remaining town houses. The Eilleshof, built around 1560, is one of the last originally preserved old Munich arbours. The Hofbräuhaus, founded in 1589, is today located in a 19th century building on the Platzl. To the north in the direction of Schwabing, Ludwigstraße was built between the Feldherrnhalle and Siegestor (Victory Gate). It is home to the Bavarian State Library, the Ludwig Church and Ludwig-Maximilian University as well as numerous state ministries. The Theresienwiese and the Hall of Fame, including the colossal bronze statue of Bavaria, were also built during Ludwig I's reign.
The oldest landscaped garden is the Court Garden from the Renaissance period with the Temple of Diana. To the north-east is the Finance Garden and the English Garden, which was designed in 1789 and runs from the centre of Munich to the northern edge of the city. With an area of 4.17 square kilometres, it surpasses Central Park in New York. The Nymphenburg Palace Park was built to the west of Nymphenburg Palace in the French style. In the 19th century it was transformed into an English landscape park except for the "Grand Parterre". To the north is the New Botanical Garden. Southeast of Nymphenburg lies the former electoral deer garden. Three baroque castles are located on the northern city border in the park of Schleißheim Castle. Besides Herrenhausen and Schwetzingen, it is the only preserved large baroque garden in Germany.
Among the modern buildings most architecturally worth mentioning are the BMW four-cylinder at the Olympic Park, next to which the futuristic BMW World was opened in October 2007, as well as the Hypo House in the Arabella Park and the Highlight Towers to the north of Schwabing. The tallest skyscraper in the city at 146 metres is the Uptown München. The highest building in the city is the 291 metre high Olympic Tower. Especially after the turn of the millennium, numerous skyscrapers were built in Munich, for example the 146 m high Uptown skyscraper and the twin towers Highlight Towers, the SV skyscraper completed in 2008 or the Skyline Tower. Since a referendum in 2004, in which the majority of Munich voters opposed the construction of buildings with a height of more than 100 meters, no high-rise building has been erected in the Bavarian state capital that towers above the two towers of Munich's landmark, the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), which was built in 1488 and is almost 99 meters high including its striking Renaissance hoods.
Munich is internationally renowned for its collections of old and classical art, which are presented in state, municipal and private museums as well as galleries. For example, the Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek, the Pinakothek of Modern Arts and the new Lenbachhaus, which was greatly expanded in 2014, are among the world's most important galleries. Together with the Glyptothek, the State Antiquities Collections and the Museum Brandhorst, these collections form the Munich Art Area. The State Museum of Egyptian Art also received a new building in the Art Area. With over one million visitors per year, the Deutsches Museum with its unique technical exhibits is one of the most visited museums in Europe and the largest technical and scientific museum in the world.
Munich has a very rich theatre, ballet and opera culture with five state, three municipal and over fifty private stages. The Bavarian State Opera in Munich is one of the most renowned opera houses in the world and can look back on a remarkable history and tradition. World premieres that have attracted attention throughout Europe already took place around 1700. In the spoken theatre category, the most important stages in the city are the Bavarian State Theatre, the Munich Chamber Theatre and the Munich Folk Theatre.

Important economic sectors in Munich are tourism, vehicle construction and mechanical engineering, electrical engineering as well as the software and IT industries.

Munich has been the seat of the Archbishopric of Munich and Freising, one of the richest dioceses in Germany, since 1817.
In 1846 the Irish dancer Lola Montez came to Munich and became the lover of King Ludwig I. She received a luxurious villa in Barer Straße in Munich, a title of nobility (Countess of Landsfeld) and financial support from Ludwig. The affair caused a sensation throughout Europe. On 20 March 1848 Ludwig I voluntarily abdicated in favour of his first-born son Maximilian II.
In the Bavarian history, Ludwig II of Bavaria (1845-1886) has set a monument to himself as a passionate builder of castles, especially the castles Neuschwanstein, Herrenchiemsee and Linderhof; he is also known as the fairytale king of Bavaria. He ruled Bavaria from 1864. After his incapacitation on 9 June 1886, his uncle Luitpold took over the affairs of state in the Kingdom of Bavaria as Prince Regent. Four days later Ludwig II drowned in the Würmsee (since 1962 officially Lake Starnberger). Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most famous sights in Germany.
Franz Josef Strauß was probably the most controversial, brilliant and most cunning politician in German post-war history. He was a member of the Federal Government as Federal Minister for Special Affairs (1953-1955), Federal Minister for Nuclear Affairs (1955-1956), Federal Minister of Defence (1956-1962) and Federal Minister of Finance (1966-1969). From 1978 to 1988 he was Bavarian Prime Minister.
On an average of ten days a year in Munich there is a foehn, a warm, dry falling wind from the main ridge of the Alps, which causes such good visibility that the Bavarian Alps can be clearly seen from the urban area.
Italy is no longer far away from Munich and can be reached quickly and easily for a long weekend. In Munich, there is an extensively established Italian culture in the cityscape, especially in the gastronomic area. This is why Munich is often referred to as the northernmost city in Italy.
