Munich. It’s Good but it’s Weird

by · Published · Updated

How Weird? This Weird! Surfing in the oddly named Englischer Garten (English Garden) in downtown Munich. From old-but-rebuilt stuff, an everchanging coat of arms, weird church relics, to a spontaneous Michael Jackson tribute

The new city hall looks old but is 20th century. Half is brick & half stone
The Glockenspiel has two knights jousting at the top and coopers dancing at the bottom. A tiny rooster finishes the show
The Hofbrauhaus is famous for Oktoberfest which is mostly in September
The English Garden is named after the Englishman that designed it and was meant to provide food for retired soldiers
The Dianatempel is a 17th century Italian Gazebo named after a Roman goddess
Wall showing changes to the Munich coat of arms. The last change was in 1958
Delicious spicy Bavarian goulash with sausage, paprika, and bell peppers
Another local favorite, cheese spread
“Old Peter” church contains the skeleton of St. Munditia, patron saint of spinsters.
Theatine church is an Italian High Baroque design and contains…
…Jesus action figures
A spontaneous Michael Jackson tribute in front of his favorite Munich Hotel
